Stage 1 V8

Hello Chaps. I got my radiator recored and the guys did a nice job. except when i removed the radiator there was a wire that connected to the left side tank (left when standing at front of vehicle looking at it) which my guess must have been a sensor for something. its just that the shop hasnt put t...

hey mate, yeah mine is still the original army coil and ignition setup. mines not too old, i guess i was one of the lucky ones to get the full service history from the army on my truck. maybe converting to 12 volt then get a new after market electronic ignition setup might be the go. $3500 you could...

there should be bits around, a few modern trucks are 24 volt, my nissan patrol is. 1 thing you need to be aware of is that drawing 12volts from the 12v battery in a 24v system can be dangerous as the 12v battery wont be getting any charge. you will have to purchase a Charge equalizer, which arent ch...

hey, yeah they rag tops are all good but leaked. look at the alternator on this thing, bottom left corner of photo. http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q242/gary_in_nz/P1010043.jpg http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q242/gary_in_nz/LandySide1.jpg heres a nice little conversion some engineering shop d...

i was thinking of putting rear diff lock in my landrover but am trying to build up a semi good Nissan 4x4 first. it wont be too hard to install, but i play with big tools and gear and do lots of machining and welding every day for my job, so its hard to comment on how difficult things are to other p...

hehehe yeah good fun!! watch you dont squash the muffler under the middle if yours is still there. The central diff lock is only to distribute power evenly to the front and rear diffs. where the power goes from the diff depends on which wheel on the given axle has the least resistance/traction. as y...

If your into your tech stuff and your in New Zealand, Australia, Japan or France, have a look under google maps ( http://maps.google.co.uk/ ) and you can now get street view images of many addresses. I dont know when the UK is getting theres released, they are probably still driving round taking pho...

i like the look of that nudge bar makes it look a bit "Modern" your last photo didnt come through to well

hey mate i see you found my pictures, just had a look at your video. not unusual to see a landrover with its bonnet up!!

hey yeah it does get well used, mostly on the tarmac, been a while since had it off road but we got a charity run through some forestry on the 8th November so will take out then, and try get some pictures and video. i got new tyres for my nissan safari so the Land Rover inherited the old 33x12.5 Mon...

hi, i have a Ex New Zealand Army 109 v8, your one looks like it has 2 convoy lights on the tops of the wings??

keep up the good work!!

gary

that is nice mate, i have been on the lookout here (NZ) for a factory v8 90 and i just cant find one!! a few diesels around, but even they are rare in 90 form, a few more 110's but they are diesel, i dont think too many v8's actally made it to NZ. Are the new indian owners of land rover going to car...

tell ya what, if i was gona put one in, it would be the rear. unless you have some mean muscle arms, it will be quite heavy!! also the auto lockers are not really good when in situations where you dont want a locker engaged, ie. steep decent, down a slippery winding track...
could get nasty!!

nice looking wagon, just one request, can u change the colour of the wheels??

yeah... :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: has its 2 wheel moments. last time i was lucky enough to be caught by a pine tree, nothing hard about the track, just one part went on a lean, and i had to do a tight hairpin turn and yeah, bark marks down the roof with a slight alluminium ripple to top it ...
