There were a couple of series 1's was it yellow ? I worked a Rally Control for a couple of hours Saturday afternoon and the count was just over 200 trucks. With such a large venue and everyone so spread out it didn't seem like nearly so many.

Headed off to the Mid Atlantic Rally. Will probably have very limited internet service until Sunday night. We have time. Cheers

You're good. Nothing different between a disco and later defender lt230's except the flanges on some discos-like Timmy's. I need to work out transport to my container with Dave and make sure he's not going to hit you guys with VAT. If that all goes well, I'll just have you guys pay him directy.

From Dave Ashcroft- btw todays exchange rate was 1.58 Hi Doug, thanks for the email, we are able to supply : LT230 1.410 gear kit, to serial number 28D306142E £ 200 LT230 1.410 gear kit, from serial number 28D306142E £ 245 LT230 1.410, rebuilt, outright £ 520 (normally £ 595) LT230 1.410...

I think v8's sound great wound tight. I regularly rev my tdi past 3k.

Sam, Without a TSA issued TWIC card wouldn't be able to get you into any of the nations ports. In the good old days I used to take friends and they loved it. The first time you go into one of these high volume ports you stand in awe of the sheer volume of stuff coming and going onto these ships...

Nope. Those are both replacements units for defenders.

Had a couple 4.2's. Ran a lot stronger than the 3.9's for the small displacement difference. Hadn't heard of any issues with the bottom ends either.

Spoke with the guys @ Wright Offroad and emailed Dave Ashcroft should have responses tomorrow. As of right now I have asked about 14 sound mat setups 7 lt77 and 7 r380 from Wrights. From Ashcrofts: 3- 1.4 tcases, 2- v8 r380's, and 1 underdrive.

Nah. Engine is a LR factory reman unit (they tell me these are new not rebuilt). The truck had egr and a cat which fell off somehwere. The injection pump has been tweaked and continues to be a refinement process-waste gate actuator shortened. Guessing I'm getting about 120bhp but thats it. Its...

JL is going to drive down to my place in Va in the next 2 or 3 weeks for a 110 roof , windsheild frame, and defender steering column for the next generation of that 109. Still only seen it in pictures. So like me those running that ratio all have non Rover engines etc. The defenders manufactured...

Thanks for your insight but I swapped in a new Ashcroft one after the original unit with 240k let go. Quite happy with the replacement r380.

Yeah it was a function of 240,000 hard miles.

My changes have had to do with towing and blown up components (ie new Ashcroft R380 on one of those excercises). I retrieve imports from the docks with a substantial all steel car trailer 2200 lbs. Most of what goes on the trailer are Tdi 110's and I deliver them all over the place. My entire...

As I said I had a 1.1 tcase in a 110 with a 4 liter toyota diesel with stock diffs. Ie enough torque to pull away in 1st and not stall but the effect on the axle shafts was intense- the splines literaly had acute 30 degree bends/twists after 8 mos in the truck. I was running 285's so a 33.25...

I'm 6.6 and 290. I've had good luck @ Outdoor World/ Bass Pro. I take a 42-44 waist depending on how the pant is cut and have picked up some decent canvas shorts @ Sams Club of all places.

early Range Rovers with lt95's but the same 3.54 differentals had a similar ratio. Those were 4 speeds so thats where the tall ratio worked-road speed in top gear. Had one in a 110 with a Toyota 4 liter diesel.

Not sure US Customs will let you drive it "through" since the truck isn't eligible for import here. Suggest you check before buying tickets.

You keep saying that. You don't need to post four times about how this doesn't work for you-just once if it was something of interest. I think it depends on the individual and the degree of slippery slope. Re gearing open diffs makes little sense. Most will opt for arb or other when redoing the...
