Had the same problem when I had my disco. Research I did pointed to dirty earths on the starter solenoid and motor, when the car gets hot the resistance gets higher and there's not enough voltage to engage the solenoid. A cheap fix is to clean all the contacts on the stater and solenoid and the ...

Ross, Have a read of these (try reading between all the e-tough and crap): http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/land-rover/980255-dislocation-cone-question.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; http://www.aulro.com/afvb/technical-chatter/106372-dislocate-retain-2.html" onclick="window.open ...

To get those tyres in and usable off road (ie not being cut up while flexing) then you will also need to cut the guards as well as the lift. I have 265/75's on 0mm offset rims on my 97 disco with cut guards and I still get a bit of rubbing, although mainly on the mud guard bracket so would be easy ...

What about the Allison 5 speeds behind the likes of the duramax etc??

Alternatively, there's been a popular conversion for the isuzu powered landies recently that makes use of an NPR 5 speed transmission. Perhaps the trucks may have something suitable at a decent price.

the auto is a zf 4-22 which is a borg warner i thought ? The transmission you mention is the later type gearbox, the brand being ZF: http://www.zf.com/corporate/en/homepage/homepage.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; The early factory fit transmissions were the TF7727's, and I ...

just wondering has anyone fitted a 3.9 or 4.0 litre falcon motor into rangie and wondering about bellhousing compatibility on the borg warner auto's I think the consensus is its too long, otherwise its a nice motor with plenty of torque and now the turbo versions is available quite cheaply. When I ...

You may not believe this but my method that has never failed to get a pulley off* is - hold the pulley in my hand and use the rattle gun on the nut. I've never needed the allen key because of the way rattle guns work. Hmm. Think I may have to go buy a rattle gun now. At least I can use that for ...

Hmmm... I have swapped a few alternator pulleys and I've never used a special tool or (as far as I know) damaged a pulley. It's usually easy as long as you have a rattle gun for the nut. Incidentally for at least some vintages the commo/falcon bosch vee-belt ones have a two-piece pulley, each side ...

Bet it has a nice price tag too.

100 series cruiser is a dual v belt pulley which should run off a single belt. not sure why toyota put 2 on it. Have just checked these out on ebay. Diesel 110A models are sub $300 new (non-genuine) which doesn't seem too bad. Will chase up the specs on them to see if there would be any issues ...

How hard is it to swap the pulleys, will any just slide on? From what I've seen most are a simple swap over with the right number of washers/shims to space the pulley correctly. The only issue with this is you need a specialised tool to remove most pulleys, or you risk damaging the pulley. So it ...

I'm restoring my old land rover 101 and from the factory they came with a piddly little 34A alternator. Since the bracketry wont let me fit anything other than standard I am going to fab up a custom mount for a new type of alternator. Ideally I'd like a 100A+ alternator as eventually I will be ...

Would it not depend on whether the vehicle is positive or negative earth??

My bighorns are crap in the sand. Drop em to 10 pound and dig trenches all day. I'm told snow chains make them slightly better though.

Again, a $10 digital multi meter and a bit of battery knowledge is a far better way to keep track of your batteries. This. My voltmeter tells me if my alternator (regulator) is putting out about the right voltage. I check both my batteries with my multimeter to guesstimate if they're properly ...

Hi all any help with this one would be great! Wife's rangie vogue 1991 3.9 efi Misfire for a day, goes away,misfire again few weeks later, goes away misfire again worse! Next day takes it to work all fine after work no fire, so dragged it home. I,v replaced the entire distributor unit,it,s a later ...

sometimes the little rollers on the reg break, theres a bunning fix for these, very simple and cheap. I'm sure its posted on here somewhere The bunnings fix is to find an appropriately sized sliding door roller to place where the broken plastic runners will be. I searched for a runner that would be ...

I would use a product from KBS coatings to stop rust in the tank. Aust. made and fast delivery also. check there web out here http://www.kbs-coatings.com.au/Tank-Sealers_c_10-1-0.html This is what I'm using for my fuel tank. Have also used their Rust Seal. Great stuff but like all these types of ...

Just to update, I've decided to go the Pertronix kit. I cant find bugger all about the PowerSpark conversion (SimmonBBC) to make me feel comfortable, where as the ignitor kit from pertronix has been quite well proven while also being sold by the 101 club as a standalone conversion. Will be ordering ...

Digging this post back up. Chimpboy, how did you go with the distributor from ebay? Is it still going strong? Is that type still available as the link goes to dead end. I'm starting to get the motor ready to fire up on my 101 and am looking at what to do with the ignition. I know stuff all about ...

For exact part number on what calipers to use check out the bible thread. KiwiBacon did a write up on swapping to bigger callipers and it got copied into the bible in 2007.

If its only holding charge for a week or so, theres either something drawing current when not in use or your battery is the problem. Any accessories that could be using power even when switched off? The aftermarket head unit and SC80 will both be drawing current but the battery is on the way out ...

Hi drivesafe, Would the jaycar 15W panel posted in the link above be suitable for a dual battery setup with the SC80. I'm not driving the disco much at all these days and the starter battery will only hold charge for a week or so before I need to jump with the second battery. If I give it a good run ...

For various bits that I've been restoring on my project I've just used a thick wirebrush wheel on a grinder, failing that take it to a soda blaster to have done?? Then its just hose off an prime. A lot of people use POR15 which can supposedly be painted directly onto rust. I've never used it myself ...

4 or 5 days have passed. Are they good? Is group buy happening? I'm still keen
