Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Yes you can parts from MR Automotive at Redcliffe in SE Qld and axles etc from either them or Hi Tough Engineering at the Gold Coast

I believe a ZF Auto is used, and MR Automotive have done a few conversions

At least with the early ie 28 spline maxidrives, spares are still available. Hytuff had axles and the side gears are holden 1 tonne. The side gears in the later 24 spline centres I don't think are available any longer unless M R Auto has made new ones or someone else has started manufacturing them ...

One year My Brothers car's winch was used to wake board across a canal for his mates birthday party,then a tinnie was used to take the rope back , he put a heap of telecom rope on it ;-) and in the video look at the tree's you might need to tilt your head to realize how steep it is ;-) man, i've ...

The bolts holding the calipers to the diff are different sizes between the disco diff and the rrc diff - well they are 94 D1 vs 90 RRC.

Hey Peter, I believe that all defenders had the 1.41 ratio box, however some owners change them to the disco ratio for highway driving. The 1.003 ratio is also from a LT230 but these were mated to the torqueflight automatic box fitted to some earlier rangies. If you're looking for a second hand unit ...

What about sill tanks? I have a spare set which need a clean up, where about in qld are you?

The Qube by itself really isn't much use as it needs the end user software to be able to show where and what the vehicle has been doing and that is only available through Navman Wireless whose head office is based in Sydney, although there are dealers in all states, Oblis is one of them in Brisbane ...

Call M R Automotive at Redcliffe on 3284 6688 - they will post them to you

do a search on here and also on aulro.com there are lots of threads

3.9efi or 4.4 P76 although some will say they are getting old and parts are hard to find. I would have thought an 88 should have been efi and not carby so it would seem the motor has already been changed/modified

I'd also check the rubbers in the trailing arms as they can have a rear steer effect on the car when accelerating/decelerating, its gets worse as they get older.

apparently not, as its the side gears which break and as these are no longer available it makes the centre an expensive paperweight. The side gears for the earlier 28 spline centres are however still available as are the axles from Hi Tough

both are weak ,24 spline is stronger,the shock mounts on all rovers are in the coils ,it probably has the twin shock turrents put on it with the bolt on bracket on the axle housing

Not quite correct, it is my understanding that classic rangies which were fitted with air suspension had the shocks ...

There are a few rebuilt 4.4's on ebay, alternatively what parts are you chasing, we have 2 sitting in the shed since we've just changed to a 3.9 with ZF from 4.4 with torqueflight. Its been a complete pain to swap but thats more to do with the bloke who was supposedly doing it.

i have a 1988 rangie, iv been driving it for 10yrs, now time to put it to rest,
with its 4.6L motor (no.8 cylinder no compression) but the rest of the car is ok,
open to thoughts of swapping the lt230 into the 1990 and swap the maxi rear locker, then offload the rest

i have recently purchased a ...

Which engine is it?

There's a 4.6 short motor advertised in the classifieds

Its interesting that you found that the brake calipers fit perfectly, because when we fitted 94 disco diffs into my 90 rangie we discovered the bolts holding them on aren't actually the correct size. The bolts/bolt holes through the disco calipers are slightly larger in diameter and hence the ...

Are you talking about slotting the complete disco housing etc in, if so then the bolts that hold the brake calipers on are a different size. Can't comment on the other things although I believe the ratios are the same - other will confirm this though.

RIP Nottie

stronger axles you get from Hi Tough Engineering at the Gold Coast and steering arms you'd buy from M R Automotive at Redcliffe

think I still have the instructions, pm me your email address and I'll try to send them to you

Mate I'm in Brisbane and have several spare doors, send me a pm with what you need and if you want pics include your email address

I sold my set late last year but found them to be great. They are now in Brisbane somewhere on a Suzuki. The couple of things which I did notice about them is that they were a small 31, they did wear quite fast in comparison to other tyres which I've had - mind you these were the first tyres that I ...

mate there's a twin locked 90's rangie in the markets for 7200, would be a great place to start as someone else has already done lots a mods

I thought another reason was so that people could run their standard 24 spline axles if required, instead of the 28 spline axles.

One benefit of the 28 spline ones is that the side gears are still available

crikey trav... u are never satisfifed are you :finger:

Nope, the grass is always greener on the other side :twisted:

Maybe I should buy a defender :finger: :finger: :finger: :finger: ...Or even worse a Toyota :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

Trav

Well you've already got a disco :P

They're actually very similar as I have both downstairs in the same tread pattern and its vary hard to see any difference at all.
