Outer Limits 4x4 Board

thanks for the help on this fellas but i think i will go with the LRA flares insted of the rubber beacuse i think it looks more leagel, cause i also want to be able to drive it into town with actracting to much attention. just cruious is there anywhere in vic that i can go to buy flexi-Flares from ...

I'm running 31 x 10.5 x 15's on 15 x 8 sunnies also, recently damaged one to the point of not being able to use the rim. Bridgestone tells me I can't get this size for a D1 anymore from anyone. I'm still waiting for them to try to repair the rim. They seem pretty slack though, as they've had my ...

X2

1. Paid $50 for a second hand one, actually, I paid $50 for the steering box, the rest of the vehicle was free

I just cranked mine 2" then braced the under side with some 10mm X 30mm plate worked well, still using them after 2 years.. Jeff So did you just put a bend in them that put the axle end 2" lower than stock? Or were there any other adjustments that had to be made? I don't want to FUCK my arms.

Hi guys, I'm looking for specs to get my local steel man to crank and strengthen my rear arms for me. Does anyone here have any specs for lengths and angles to suit a D1 with a 3" spring lift?
Cheers,
Sean.

What's he doing with the old deisel? I'll take it off his hands, I could do with some shed therapy

He more than likely is mistaking the CDL for F&R difflocks. I had a mate who bought a 92ish Pajero with the Super Select transfer case. He swore black and blue that locking the CDL was actually locking both F&R diffs :lol: The Paj did come with an optional rear locker. Didn't know that. Still, his ...

does any one have a 10 spline center they don't need? i have put a add in wanted bit but not hear any thing. i dont really want to go 24 unless some one has a cheap complete front diff for a rrc i'm on the central coast nsw I've got what you need, front & rear, beer is an excellent bargaining tool ...

as for parts in in the ACT right now and no one stocks bits for them so i have to order them in. the gasket i got was the oil pump gasket and it got "lost" in the mail 2 times before i got it. You need to change suppliers, try Land Vehicle Spares near Sydney. Even if they don't have the parts the ...

I've heard that 31's on your average Rover is pretty much the same as 33's on your average Patrol (clearance wise). Is it really necessary to go that big?

i would probably say not, but best thing would be to visit a GOOD R.T.A. certified vehicle engineer.

So probably better to work the 3.9?

... Now, how about a turbo'd 3.9 from a small truck? Perhaps it would be possible to get one from there post 1995? AFAIK that would have to be the Isuzu 4BD2-T. Unlike the 4BD1-T (unfortunately) the 4BD2-T is indirect injection, and are not as reliable (notorious for cracked heads). The later Isuzu ...

The low idle torque thing was the problem I'd heard about.

I'm currently considering the same conversion for my '95 Disco. I'd have thought that welding and redrilling would be easier than manufacture. I was thinking auto of some description. I haven't looked enough yet to have any real ideas there yet. What are the LT boxes like? Are they 5 speeds? Also ...

Hi All, Ok, I have had the thermostat changed, radiator cleaned out and given a good rodding!, viscous changed (Other one was cactus anyway), and still have the same issue. Mechanic, who i trust assures me that it is not a head gasket. The needle still creeps a needle width up to 3/4 on the hwy ...

Snerk wrote:Viscous fan?

Yeah, that thing behind th eradiator that spins really quickly.
It runs on an oil that thickens when it gets warm.

Have you considered leaning of lpg on hwy leading to more heat production??? Rover v8's don't like being run lean. Perhaps a retune would fix it. Mechanic can do a CO (carbon monoxide) test to confirm gasket failure. I had a sniffer on my expansion tank too, screamed its tits off, that's why I did ...

I had this problem also, had the cooling system cleaned, but the problem didn't go away til the radiator was removed and rodded. If it was not done this way then I would look at getting it done first up. I went through all possabilities, even did the head gaskets :roll: If you remove the radiator ...

These are the ones I was thinking of, on my '95 R380 and LT230, pretty much the same as the ones on the 3.9 too.
Maybe the TDI's have different ones?

I checked my invoice, $26.40 each

Bloody hell man
Land Vehicle spares on 477441741.
They'll do it COD to your local PO for around $30 each!!
I know this as I bought a pair for my Disco.
I assume you're talking about the round rubber mounts?

I'm out.
I have other plans now.

I'd be interested in some trailing arms also. Depends when you want to do this.

So how do you find the handling without the swaybars? I'm running bilstein shocks, heavy duty front defender springs and lifted pedders springs in the rear, I think this is a fairly stiff setup in the front, I'm actually looking at changing my front springs for pedders also. I don't want to ...

I wish to disconnect my front sway bar for offroad,is there a disonnect option for the series 1 Disco?
I plan to remove my rear sway bar, so would like the frontto remain for onroad use.
Cheersm
Sean.

I'm with defmec, email Paddocks, I'm sure nthwy quoted me really cheap for some bushes compared to what you've stated.

I know your looking for braided, but thought I'd mention I have a set that I bought from slunnie that I didn't require in the end as the ones on the car were fine for the lift fitted. Fairly sure I paid $75 for the set of 5, they were from a rangie, so can't confirm whether they'd fit a disco - let ...
