Is this sh!t still dragging on :?: :?: If you have left it this long to get the issue resolved then best of luck. :lol: :lol: hasn't been that long actually.... disputes tribunal arent quick off the mark when it comes to shit like this, theres a 6-8 week waiting list lol..... I don't even know what...

Phew, that was a long read...... In the LVVTA manual it says that the engine should not come in to contact with the axle. of course this is obvious to most ppl. The certifier has not one his job properly in allowing this vehicle to be made road legal, nor has the VTNZ. this knob end has done a bad ...

$2000 for a rebuilt 3b? good luck.. :lol: $2000 will cover parts to rebuild the block only. But yeah your probably right he probably had a rusty old 3b cruiser sitting round he wanted rid of :evil: I didnt say rebuilt 3b I said "reconditioned engine" .. :P theres quite a selection of reco...

were all the salisbury diffs 3.54:1 ? sure the couldn't be 4.7:1 ? I've got 3.54:1 rangey diff heads in my series 3 and they are a heck of a lot quieter than the 4.7:1 original diff heads, which produced an ear piercing high pitch whine almost drowning out the engine doing 3500rpm to achieve about 8...

Would also love to know how it got certified. X2 :shock: I just read all 5 pages. I feel for this guy getting his truck back in that condition. I'm glad the repower I had done on my truck wasn't as bad as that one. :shock: I still can't believe how cowboys like that get away with it. When I first h...

Spend a bit more Pete, then a bit, then a bit more......... :mrgreen: It sucks eh? I started off looking for an 07 dble cab hilux for me and a 02ish ranger for one of project managers. Was thinking that $45k ish for the Lux and $15-17k isf for the ranger (or courier as they were back then) Couldn't...

Landynut

can you stick up some photos of the actual conversion so we can see what this joker has done and why the sump has ended up so close to the diff? Is the engine sitting way down on the piss or is it relatively level, does the crank pully line back up at the origional height when you look through thr ...

theres a slight difference between spots of surface rust and structural rust.... I've crawled around underneath it myself, and its one of the mintest pre1980 landrover chassis' i've ever laid eyes on.

just saw this on trademe: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=353642818 could have sent that to an engine reconditioner and then installed it, exhaust setup etc all for about $5g.... $300 for a pair of range rover diff heads to gear it up a bit, or around $1500 for an overdrive.... he ha...

this guys is obviously a bit dodgy but why would you say to do a suspension lift and why would he follow these instructions this is obviously not a fix! Extending the bump stops is the only suspension "fix" that could help this unless your lifted springs were soo stuff that you never hit ...

was the clearance issue caused by the engine being mounted too low or was it the 33 year old springs sagged out too much, what was the pre conversion spring height like, has he reset the springs where they shoud be or has he over set them too high and now losing all the down travel? some pics would...
