Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Just to update the post, the 3.5 is in no problems, all the issues where covered here, the motor turned out to be a early low compression motor dressed as the hi comp one, I used the 3.9 heads with tin gaskets and the only issue was the rocked cover sits on the inlet manifold and isn't sealing with ...

Thanks Philip, I will use the Crow 771 that i was running on the 3.9, the 3.5's cam had the old missing lobe on number 5 inlet syndrome any way.

thanks a lot Peter, I will give it a go, It seems to be a cheap way to get back on the road, even if it is a lot of buggering around. I pulled the 3.5 down yesterday and it looks ok, rings and bearings and it should be a runner. Does any one know / had experence with the Vic RTA's attitude in ...

hello People I hope some one can help me with some questions. I have a 1994 serpentine belt 3.9 Discovery, I have cooked the motor and need to get it back on the road as cheaply as possible while I save up for a replacment 3.9. I have a high compression 3.5 (1983?) motor and was wondering if I can ...

Hi, I have cooked the Disco! (1994/5 3.9 serpentine belt), (Wasn't my fault I promise!) and have dropped a valve seat. The rest looks ok, but who knows! I suspect that the way to go is an entire second hand motor but I'd like to get this one going and see and see what happens. 3.9 heads appear to be ...

Hello people I want to update the transmission output gear in the transfer case to the cross drilled type (Late 1994 disco auto) its got a fair clunk so i guess thats the problem. Can any one tell me were is the best place to get one? I notice Ashcroft in the UK have them for about 70 pound for the ...

Thanks People, Haven't been able to find a suitable alternator replacment for the serptine belt version of the rover V8, I had mine rebuilt for $300, however, its still a bit dodgy were the bearing has spun in the rear housing, I guess i will just keep my eyes open for a U/S second hand altenator ...

Hello people
Can anyone till me if there is an alternate alternator to fit a 1994 Disco (Serpentine belt alternator) Ie some thing slightly cheaper than the $450 I have been quoted for a new one?
Thanks

thanks for that,
to much playing about with range rovers i guess, Just done some searching and the 1996 grand would have a Viscus Np 249 transfer with lo-range mechanical lock up is that correct? (no lock pre 1995) or is that just for the US built trucks?

Hello people, I'm new to Jeeps, and wonder if someone can help me, just had a look at a 1996 Grand Cherokee Limited, All looked good with a good price until I tried a low range tight turn in the car park, there was fairly noticeable crabbing, trying again in high range and it was not as bad but ...

Hello People I hope some one can help me? I want to put a ZF auto and BW transfer case (from a 91RR I'm told) into a 83 4 door that’s currently got a broken 4 speed manual, if possible I want to use the existing transmission tunnel, can anyone tell me what is involved in modifying it, I think I can h ...

Hello People I’m about to put a ZF and a BW transfer (from a 1990 RR I’m told) into my 83 4 door RR it’s currently got the old 4 speed manual (the current centre diff has Sh*t its self and has taken the case with it). Has anyone got any tips for me? I think I have all the required bits. I need to do ...

Hi

Just a comment on clasic rangie windscreens, make sure you get one with out (or at least a thin) tint at the top, otherwise if you are a bit taller your likly to be looking through the tint at overhead trafic lights ect, makes it hard to pick up a red light at night.

Hello people, First time on the board, there is some interesting stuff here, a couple of questions you lot may be able to help with. I’m thinking of a (cheap) stroker using a 3.5 with P76 crank, I know about the main bearing size issue and can handle that. Using the standard rover rods, has any one ...
