Re: Air Hose Blowing Off

Thanks to both pieces of advice which I will use. Going bush again this weekend so will get new dizzy leads and make sure no crossover and report back any changes... FE11xx - I have been considering the ignition amp from the UK for awhile now but a bit hesitant to splash out as I know nothing about ...

Re: Air Hose Blowing Off

Forgot to mention that it is dual fuel Gas/Petrol. Use mostly gas when in the bush as better tuned to gas. Regards, Andrew

Air Hose Blowing Off

My Air Hose from the Air Flow Meter to the Plennum Chamber keeps blowing off from the air flow meter end when my 86 RRC is under stress going up rocks or rought terrain and the engine is running at high revs in low gears. The trans is auto, the engine is the standard 3.5L V8.

Anyone know how to fix ...

Re: disco rear diff on RRC

Thanks to you all for your great advice. We did the axel exchange on Sunday starting at 11am and we were in the Glasshouse Mts by 4pm putting her thru some rough terrain. Not bad since we had no crane or trolley jack and had to rely on manpower.We did not have any real dramas. The Brake Calipers fit ...

Re: disco rear diff on RRC

I have 97 disco axles under my 85 classic.
You need to change the rotoflex coupling to a flange. Check the taper size on the upper ball joint also.
Kiwibacon, how do you disco axels handle? Has it been a worthwhile mod? I am only changing the rear now as a necessity since ripping my stock apart ...

Re: disco rear diff on RRC

:) Thanks all for the great advice. Yes Kiwi, thanks to your advice I have asked the seller to change the rotoflex coupling to flange FOC. I might be wrong but the 10 / 24 spline should not matter as I am changing the entire Axel including hubs.

Re: disco rear diff on RRC

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.

Hobie, I am talking about changing the whole ...

disco rear diff on RRC

Blew my 86 RR rear diff on the weekend. Have found a complete 97 Disco rear axel as replacement. The dealer said it will slot straight into my RR. However I am a bit sceptical on the gear ratios. Can someone please advise me if this diff will do the job. My gear ratio is 3.54 (standard) which is the ...
