Outer Limits 4x4 Board

original fan, just a new hub, it is aftermarket but its from a landrover joint so hopefully its for a landrover at least lol, i probably wouldn't notice it much but ive gone from a completly stuffed one to a new on and i can notice it, i just have to push it harder, on my other cars i have had ...

I put a new aftermarket viscous fan on the v8 rangie a couple of days ago, becasue when 4wding in the hils (not much airflow) or in the soft sand in high range she would overheat, but no probs otherwise, so i put a new one on and god does it suck some power and it is as noisy as hell, not too happy ...

rover v8 4.6 was fitted to RR P38A until 2002 untill the L322 model we're released which have the 4.4 M62 BMW v8 up until jaguar ownership and then they put the jag 4.2 V8's in, which not long after the RR sport came.

This is what i am led to beleive by the few i have worked on so feel free to ...

I'm eally not too sure how much it would be worth, problem is, unless they're in rally good nick, they're not worh alot to start with, being a 3.5 it must be a fairly early one, and from what iv'e seen most people are after the 3.9, depending on the condition of the transfer case it could be worth ...

Hey, i am currently running a 3.9 in a softdash classic which is startion to get a bit noisy and tired at nearly 250,000km. I have another 3.9 i salvaged out of a fire damaged disco that i want to rebuild and slot in the rangie onec finished.

If i'm going to spend the money however i am thinking i ...

silverline 4x4 in the uk make some nice tough looking 18"s to suit the older rovers, comin in silver or black, et0 - et25 offset looks pretty mean imho saving up fund for some for myself google silverline4x4.co.uk i think it is and you should find them.

Steering dampners are just that, a dampner, i have driven without them on the highway and although a bit twitchy it still steers fine and yes i only have a 2in lift, however, if your wheels are shaking and the steering wheel isnt moving there is some seriously loose shit under you truck!

Most likely casue is panhard bushes, i've have done many on various 4WD's to overcome this very problem, if you check for play in your wheel bearings/swivels - if you get someone to put their foot on the brake for you and it goes away it is wheel bearings, if not its swivel hubs. So do your panhard ...

sorry i neglected to read the yearmodel, i was talking about pre 95 disco an RR's., but in that case, nothing to do with the sensors should need to be modified. Yes the kit has brackets to remount the radiator and shroud. The only thing in relation to the srs sytem to be changer would be the ...

Its easy to trace airbag components, the wiring loom for airbag compnents is bright yellow split tubeing (ie: don't touch) The airbag sensore are located in the engine compartment, on the Rh side it is between the battery and the radiator and a/c pipe run above it, the are a red square plastic box ...

Ive also seen that disco on ebay, ive heard no and yes, i'm going to fit a 2.5" bodylift to my rangie with airbags anyway, but i think i shoudl be able to get ti engeneered, apparently if everything in regards to the srs (ie pretensioners sensors etc) are lifted and work as the manafacturer intended ...

Hey,

What is the difference between the front hub/axle assemblies on the early defenders compared to a 94 range rover despite the ABS, I have been told the defenders have thicker drive flanges?

The reaon i ask is i want to fit the free wheeling front hubs i have but they suit early defenders not ...

i dont know if its just me, but i have a serpentine 3.9 (late) and i havnt driven another, but it seems mine has a bit more poke than otheres ive driven with the v belt's (the earlier engine) i dont know if some of the electrical might be different or what. but yeah thats my opinion.

If it was me, and im a mechanic, i would buy a 5 door 2.5 v6 automatic vitara, unstopable 'almost' on the beach, easy to drive, plenty of room, and enough power to keep you out of trouble. Feroza's imho ar'nt the best of cars let alone 4wd's and you dont want a patrol for your first car, to thirsty ...

I like that, gives me a good excuse to drive it hard and break stuff "i'm just getting my moneys worth" hahaha

the way everything is going at the moment, all cars are depreciated a hell of a lot as soon as you turn the key.

haha i dont oil mine anyway and when i do it's a thin mist of the sticky shit that is almost like contact adhesive, (the k&n stuff) i wouldnt call it an oil, so i cant see it getting through (imo) i work on alot of cars with afm's and k&n that have had for a long time and have never seen bad ...

had a k&n for the last 12month and ive never had an afm problem in my car ever.

There is a topic in the rover section "What year", its a sticky up the top, have a look throught that.

But they brought in the Borg warner in i think 1990 which i would steer clear off, the classic range rovers and disco S1's have the same chassis, suspension etc as each other and engine/gearbox ...

ah, mine is serpentine (late 94) i'll still check the alternator though.

yeah sorry off track i was reffering to the alt and tacho

My 3.9V8 is more economical than a mates 4.2 carby and anothers 4.2 efi patrol, i dont know about the earlier ones as the fuel injection is not quite as advanced on the 3.5i's look around there are quite a fewrange rovers with LPG fitted, they're the ones to go for.

A 1988 Range Rover Vogue SE 3.5i ...

i have heard from a source (unconfirmed) that condradicts what i first thought which was it is illegal with airbags, it was a disco in qld and it had been engineered with a bodylift, and the airbag sensors and everything relatied to the SRS (ie seatblet pretensioners) had been lifted to suit the ...

People who change from airbags to coils in rangies just don't know where to get their parts from ( here is a hint - it's not from LR or dunlop) And all parts in most air suspension can be rebuilt rather than replaced, and you can buy kits to do it.

Are you sure about that? I have had the alternator off my car (when i had it rebuilt) and driven it in and out of the garage etc and the tacho worked then, i know there is two differnt types of modules, could this be one of the differences maybe?

Make sure you're coolant temperature sensor has a good earth and the connection is clean and tight, i frequiently have to do this on my 3.9 as it reads wrong and throws the idle out all ove rthe place, also you can get what the call an air mass meter cleaner, similar to carby cleaner, but safe to ...

As a mechanic ic'e owned 5 LR's and prefer working on them and jeeps (even though im not a huge fan of jeep's) than a pajero or jackaroo thats for sure, even some patrols are a pita to work on.

IM going to offer my opinion, which i think i have enough backround to the above mentioned to offer a reasonably knowledable opinion, and i know people arnt going to agree with me but I DON'T CARE....

First im going to say get a discovery v8 auto, why i say this is becasue i drive a 94 range rover ...
