  1. It'll be something to do with the air-locker rear diff, the number of splines on the rear half shafts and lack of oil level holes on the Disco diff I guess
  2. As part of a 200tdi conversion we are moving over the Discovery crown wheel and pinions from the donor vehicle and fitting them into series diffs, but setting the pinion heights looks like it could be a bit of a ball ache e.g. what height to set it at? and what tolerance should this measurement be to? Also, can anyone tell me what the difference is between rationalised and pre-rationalised differentials? we have pinion heights for both, but are unsure if either of these are relevant. Thanks
  3. Hi, we are in the process of fitting a 200tdi to a series Land Rover, onto a new chassis, which has had Defender style engine mounts fitted. We have come across a problem though, it seems that the mounts on the chassis may not be in the right place, as we cannot get both the engine and gearbox mounts down at the same time. So my question is, are the centres of the engine mounts the same distance from the front cross member or should they be offset from each other. Thanks in advance, Steve
  4. What exhaust manifold are you going to use? The Lightweight I have been working on recently had a engine and exhaust manifold from Bearmach, which had the a different manifold to take the Garret turbo. The engine has done great miles now and was getting close to throwing out and burning as much oil as diesel, so as part of a complete re-build, as Jon White also suggests, a 200tdi is going to go in next.
  5. Just getting ready to fit a couple of new outriggers on the Lightweight chassis and I got to looking at how the replacement outrigger had been formed. Instead of copying the originals these re manufactured ones have a huge plate welded on the end, which I guess you are meant to weld onto the chassis, giving a perfect rust trap for the chassis to rust between the two plates. Now, I am not too happy about this built in obsolescence, so I feel inclined to cut off this plate and weld the plate on as per original. The only difference I could see from original would be that previously the front fuel tank outrigger lapped over the top and bottom of the main rail, could the lack of that be a problem or is the idea that you should cut a hole out of the side of the main chassis rail to accept the end plate on the outrigger?
  6. greendragen, thanks again for the suggestion. LEGS had a second hand Bearmach clutch sleeve, so that should be on the way to us now. Even though second hand, it ought to be quicker and cheaper than getting one machined up or waiting for a Roverdrive.
  7. greendragon, thanks for the suggestion, I shall give them a call in the week and report back. Jimfoo, the users manual we have here describes it as a Bearmach Toro overdrive, so I guess Bearmach and Toro may be the same thing and Santana also?
  8. We plan to fit a Bearmach overdrive we have here to a series gearbox, only problem is that we do not have the clutch sleeve to go with it, any ideas where I might be able to get one from? The clutch sleeve used on the Fairy overdrive would not fit, so that's a non starter and I have not been able to find anything on the Bearmach website. Thanks
  9. I am doing some chassis repairs on a Series III Lightweight, on the main chassis rails under the rear loading area. I have done the passenger side quite easily, but the drivers side main rail also houses all of the wires for the rear lights, do you have any tips on how best to weld repair the chassis rail, while making sure the cables do not get damaged? Thanks, Steve
  10. Perhaps a dumb *** newbie question but, would a series (5 bearing crank, diesel) exhaust manifold fit onto 200TDI engine and not be restrictive? The reason I ask is because we plan to do the 200 TDI conversion (yes I know another one) but as we already have a turbo on the series engine I was wondering if we can move that high turbo positioned manifold over to the 200TDI. The poor old series engine is a bit sick now
