What`s the CR on a 4BD1 ? Did Izuzu alter the CR when they turboed it?

When guys add a turbo themselves do they alter CR?

Gemini engine 200 tdi was Landrovers first proper serious diesel engine. At the time it was miles ahead of most fourby engines . Only other DI then was the 4bd1 AFAIK. 2.25 5MB was a lovable slug :lol: Hot spots can fall out and it leaks badly..........not any stronger than petrol engine either. The ...

At some point in the future I am gonna lift body off my Gq lwb and cut out bad bits of chassis and weld in new sections. I have all the tools etc. It would be nice to pic up a good chassis and swop over but there are very few good Gq frames in breakers over here in UK. However there are usually GUs ...

Yes but obviously that method of testing wont do for a seized or slightly seized fan just one that is loose.

Hi Guys I`m lexi2.25. You prolly have filters with drainback valves.......but they may not be working well. I went through that filter thing and found that one day you would take a filter off and it was full and others ....empty. This included Fleetgaurd. I don`t look at oil light on start-up now as ...

I use the cheap see through plastic inline ones before main unit.......no pressure issues and I can change a few of these before I change main one.

Alex

Thanks mate. If chassis opening is the same I can make /weld what needs although bar is new.

Alex

Yeah I`ve noticed if you put the foot down you get even less for 100 dollars. Can`t understand that cos you`re gettin there quicker

Alex

Would a Gu TJM winchbar fit a GQ?

Alex

Alternator charge indicator wire. Feed it to a relay then solenoid. It will connect batterys when you rev engine and disconnect when engine stops.

Alex

I had the issue as well. After fitting a Nissan seal kit and being meticulous with slides etc I got a recon caliper. Don`t know about down under but in Europe a company called Budweg (German) provides calipers for most makes . £85 exchange for Patrol.

Alex

Thanks guys . Heath..... 200 kilos aint bad with doors off . Those are serious jack up sills and rocksliders. Great to see the Patrol stripped and shows it can be done same as a Rover. I was going to go back to Rover as you can get a galvanised chassis cheap in UK. If I can get Y60 exposed like that ...

You will find the TD42 a bit of a slug unless turboed. It actually feels slower than a Disco 300 tdi.

Alex

I was interested to see a pic of bare chassis to get a look at them.

Alex

Excellent Terry. That`s given me the idea to jack it up far enough and then make a frame to fit in the body mounts. Where is your chassis?

Alex

Anybody done it on gq lwb ? In the long term I am gonna have to do it in order to properly refurb body mounts /chassis with welder. Next year I would be under truck with Mig and some areas are getting harder to get into.........particularly the rear crossmember. Ideally I would like to suspend body ...

Veg oil?

Alex

You can spend $$$ but Dexron 11 is good enough IMO. It is what the box was designed to work with.

Alex

mmm quite a few guys playing with their body mounts tonight

Alex

Thanks Peter.
At least they can be bought somewhere.

Alex

Are seal kits available for 95 paj 2.8 diesel. Any ideas where? Mitsubishi in UK say only pump is available. engine is a 4M40 and the pump is Zexel?

Alex

How do you think it pumps out 200lb ft and 112 bhp from a little 2.5 four.
It`s also the reason heads/gaskets let go more than occasionaly.

Alex

You should run an inline filter before main one. Watch it go black in a week then change it. Next one three weeks and so on. It`s the shit outa your tank as Bio is a solvent. What Ratio of Bio are ya usin?

Alex

Some Landrover Genuine parts are expensive in UK but there are so many aftermarket alternatives. I seen brand new Genuine Range Rover Chassis the other day for £400.................try buying one for a Patrol..more like £4000. Had a Patrol here for 3yrs. I don`t think I have ever had any car with p ...

Yeah spot on Mark.

Alex

The toyota's and nissan's which people claim are the offroad oracle are blatant copies of the chassis design landrover introduced in the early 70's as the original rangerover. They seperated the rear suspension top link into two and added a panhard rod, that's about it. Up until recently your ...

Hi Guys. This aint a wind up. Can you explain to me why, when you are in the land of Toyota , Nissan et all some of you are obviously Landrover nuts? Most Aussies I speak to say Landrover don`t cut it in bush conditions or driving huge distances on highway. Apart from that don`t you all hate ...

Yes that is prolly true Yom. I think Bosch just bought em all over. Bosch though are the World leaders in fuel injection as far as sales and clout are concerned. That Pump looks similar to sd33. Mine is the Rotary one. My truck was bought in Cyprus in 94 and brought over to UK as new. Some say the ...

I got a Cyprus model too. Standard roof but it has the Rotary pump. I didn`t know Zexel made an inline pump. I know it is all Bosch anyway.


Is your pump like the one in SD 33?

Alex

All nice work guys. On stan the mans pic the radius arm bushes look lower than dif pumpkin.........kind of defeats things a little ....Mmmm Patrol Coilers aint got the best ground clearance have they?
