Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I think that sort of usage is about normal. My 3.9 in a disco used the same.

Worth more as parts.

Asking way too much. I had a similar set-up in a 1997 Tdi, and I could only get $5000, and mine was in way better condition with a bigger fule tank to boot.

So, not technically Tech, but definately about Rovers Since the old landcruiser is getting a bit old, was starting to browse online to see whats around, and landrovers peaked my interests, both the shortys and 110's. Not so many 2nd hand, and the newer ones are still fetching big prices. So, im ...

The rubbing happens at full articulation. You either had something limiting articulation or you were not doing things to flex the suspension to the maximum. They rubbed lots underneath the top of the wheel arch - didn't worry me, was just a reminder that it was fully flexing, but I never needed to ...

I ran 235/85 16 for 6 years with no need to cut, on 2 different D1s.

It wasn't really a question, more of a wanted add, so it appears to have been moved to the mods section!

I was looking at a TD5

Stop looking and take one for a spin - they are better than they look!

Actually sounds normal, you need to try different pad compounds. You will be using a LOT of brakes stopping 35s. The mud driving doesn't help either.

Are your brakes working properly, that is do they stop the vehicle? How much pressure do you need to apply on the brake pedal in order to stop? What brand pads? If you have good brakes, but the pads are wearing fast then you may need a harder compound. If it feels like the brakes are always on then ...

Mud tyres are a PITA in sand. Bald old road tyres are more than satisfactory and at low pressures (12-15 psi or less if possible with beadlocks). You will be disappointed with the performance of any mud tyres in sand - get used to being on the wrong end of a snatch strap as you will be forever ...

Go very well as a tourer, half shafts shouldn't be a problem for that use. You can buy lockers etc. for them - with the strong dollar many LR owners are buying all sorts of stuff from the UK where there is an amazingly vast amount of kit available at good prices. Comfy as. Better with a diesel, I ...

You are a tightarse :finger: Check out the markets section on http://www.aulro.com Isnt the inter-webs a small place, I was watching ur disco when it was on the bay a while back! I have been told that the Manual boxes behind the TDi's are a little weak and prone to failing , as is the case with the ...

Fuse or earth wire

Everyone is putting yank V8's in there cruisers and patrols because nissan/toyota don't give us any horsepower and there parts are worth the weight in gold compared to anything mass produced for the american motors. I remember back in the mid 90's when the XJ was introduced to australia and then ...

Damn

My condolences to those he left behind.

How much do you want to spend?

Depending on the vehicle - none at all e.g. Landrovers - same tank, different fuel pump arrangement

Put it into 4wd for the first time the other week and now it seems as though it won't disengage 4wd Range Rover is ALWAYS in 4wd, just high and low range, locked or unlocked centre diff. Sometimes you need to have the diff lock lever in unlocked and reverse straight back for a distance to get the ...

Easier to use rivetted press studs for the application you want, try asking at Bunnings or Mitre 10.

Really depends on what you want to do with it. My choice would be a Series 1 Discovery for around $4000, then you have cash left over for mods and repairs. Nearly all Discovery 1s that are still on the road will be OK, time has weeded the lemons out. Parts availability is excellent, and seems to be ...

This question has been asked in several locations, locking this one!

Don't get sucked in by the bs about electrical gremlins and repair costs for the landrovers though, it is really not accurate and all that the rumours achieve is to make used landies much cheaper for those who know they are good solid cars. We have a customer with a Discovery that has been back at ...

Check all your bushes - mine did the same and it was a shock mount bush.

Buy the car.
see what it has on it already
drive it, enjoy it..
find what it is lacking in
then start upgrading it.

I got a brand new 4 bolt from Karcraft in Sydney for just under $800 delivered. Never heard of a 6 bolt, only the 3 and 4 bolt versions.

I painted an XD Falcon panel van with Galmet hammertone paint using a roller about 16 years ago. Looked good then, and for the next 4 years that I had the car. Would probably do it again if I needed to. Covers up rust really well. Also hides dents, chips etc. I used Gun metal grey metallic.
