Stage 1 V8

I have driven 110's straight from the factory with play in the driveline. There is always going to be some but I think Matt's idea around checking the propshafts is a good start.

extend the shaft (no jokes please Jonnyboy! )

Me. Wouldnt think of it

Always had a little clunk

My missus tells me that size doesnt matter

Front diff's run at about £100.

Drive train slack is going to be caused by the whole system. I know that there was a lot of play in the rear and cdentre diff's on mine.

Hi, There should be a thermostat fitted to your engine. It should be at the front of the inlet manifold where the radiator top hose fits. It could be that yours is faulty or has been removed. Common trick is to remove the thermostat to hide an overheating problem. There are 3 temperatures of thermos...

Its gone!

It will soon be sailing of to a new home in America!

As I need to sell my stage 1 I am open to realistic offers.

Keep it and buy a disco you no it make's sense

Already thought about that! There seems to be a serious lack of housing around edinburgh that is in my price range and has enough parking for 2 vehicles.

The housing situation is looking so bad I am even contemplating Fife

Hi Dave, Welcome to the forum. Looks like a nice truck you have there, what condition is it in? 1st tip for you: Unless your planning on driving in a lot of sand, change those tyres! They look like Michelin XS, mine had them fitted when I first bought it. Great in sand, never get punctures but letha...

Looking at your pictures, if you un bolt the pivot and flip it around the leaver would be further away from the gearbox an...

Diff Locks - Front and Rear diffs... not the centre diff lock, but are there any available for the front and rear?? Yes :D The front axle has the same type of diff as most other land/range rover's (just watch out for different ratio's), the rear axle is a salisbury which happens to be very similar ...

I have got a new job in edinburgh and need a vehicle that I can afford to run. I am thinking about buying a disco for now but I still cant believe that have actually decided to sell it.

I did consider keeping it and fitting an LPG kit but havent the time or money at the moment.

I have never heard of a filter king but a google search throws up a reference to a fuel filter/pressure regulator.

Is this what you are fitting?

Just out of interest, what are the benefits they are selling it on?

Cheers

Hi, Thats a clean looking engine. If it was reconditioned by the MOD then it would be painted. If some oil in the cylinder didnt improve the compression test then it could mean that: 1. The bores are very worn and a new set of rings will not cure it. It will need a rebore and bigger pistons. 2. The ...
