i have sourced an old 2.5td with a dodgy turbo

What makes you think that the turbo is dodgy? Most often it is just a hole in the boost diaphram.

Alternatively I have a 2.5TD turbo on the shelf h ...

I have a none leaky 19J injector pump here if you are interested.

I've only ever used a smear of rubber grease on the seals to help them home if tight, otherwise a bit of brake fluid helps.

You can drive without any castor correction on the front, I have since install because I got used to the steering feel.

ProComp. They where the shocks used in the parabolic spring conversions as they are avaliable in a number of lengths.

will a 2.5na g/box work ok on a 200tdi?

You need to put the 2.5 n/a flywheel housing on the back of the 200 to get it to mate to the gearbox.

Assuming the 300 is also from a Discovery then it will bolt straight upto the gearbox. You will have to move the engine mounts on the chassis as that is different between the two engines. Exhaust will ...

Sounds like something wrong with a propshaft to me. The rest of the world seems to get on fine with 2" lifts.

IME some do and some don't.

I had decided on Double Cordon, but the supplier today thought I'd get away with a wide angle?

Craig,

This depends upon what is causing the vibration. If the vibration is due to the yokes of th ...

Personally I really don't like castor corrected front arms, because of the prop shaft UJ angle implications.

I would fit castor corrected swivel balls or get the front axle casing re-jigged.

it continues to accelerate gently upto 50mph at around 2100 revs and changes up another gear and brings the revs down to around 1800

Thats the torque converter lockup.

I did ask the question why we didn't use it more.... I think andy above was one of the few who kinda agreed on its lack of use.....

I was actually looking to chase you up about your Trusted Traders ...

OK fair enough Smile

Or does nobody like me anymore? Very Happy
