If it is the same as early EFI Rangies, there will be a small tube at the rear of the plenum chamber. Push it onto that.

Umm, which RR box? If you are using the RR classic box, aren't they the same 4-bolt box as the Disco? Early RRs used the 3 bolt box (which I think is also interchangeable). What has changed is the Pitman arm. The Disco uses, I think, the later Pitman arm used on the RR. There have been 3 different ...

The A-frame is what stops the lateral movement of the axle. Take it away and there is nothing to stop the axle moving sideways.

In its present form, this poll is meaningless. Toymota and Missin sales far outnumber Land Rover or Jeep.

So if that is taken into account and the poll results are normalised, then you'd find that Land Rover is winning the poll by a huge margin.

High volume sales doesn't mean a better 4WD.

The fillers are on eBay quite regularly.

"scuba" LPG tanks also appear occasionally.

How long did it take Haines to test your LPG tank? It may be worth driving up to Erina if it is a same day service.
