Having said how much I hate drilling holes, I have drilled some holes. These are hidden though. These are the brackets to support the extended fuel tank. Fuel Tank Brackets.JPG There's a limit to how much of the interior can be sensibly done before paint. But the back wall is covered in stretch carp...

I hate drilling holes too and on a VR VS there’s 6 bolts on the strut tower to choose from to mount a bracket. VN VP you only have the 3 bolts don’t you? All I did was just trace out a bit of paper to match the strut top then cut it out of a piece of 2mm flat sheet. It just sits on the nuts to space...

Thanks Gareth. I should give a special mention to my helper in the shed. She relies heavily on her looks and is pretty much useless except in the rare situation there’s an emergency requiring a tennis ball at your feet. Her only real job as she sees it is to prevent Star Track driver making any deli...

So I have started a bit of a project on a VR ute. Picked it up a while back and it was pretty rough but luckily it didn’t pick it up cheap as I hate a bargain. Owner was adamant it was a HSV cause it had a HSV badge on the dash. But you can buy those badges on ebay. Also had HSV wheels, but you can ...

Not sure you can run an additive with a True Trac or Torque Lock. Whether an additive affects them I know not, but Eaton says don't do it. They also advise against using a synthetic oil. I thought the later Crewmans also had some trickery with the diff housing as well to stop axle tramp. Gareth does...

Haven’t experienced the axle tramp yet, but might not be enough weight over the back for that to happen in a one tonner – all I get is a bit of wheel slip. Anyway Landrover drivers are a bit like vegans, and I will be hearing about being rescued by a Landrover for decades to come. Its still raining ...

Haven't actually towed much with it to be honest. Only thing I've towed recently was a lighting tower for the school fete and that was last year. When it does actually get used as a ute it is usually with the tray loaded. When I was putting turf down in the yard, I did three 500 km trips with about ...

I have brought shame upon my house. 6" rain last week. Another 2" this morning.
Not even the Torque Lock could save me.

If its high humidity and raining, isn’t the atmospheric pressure low? So if its high humidity, but not raining, then is the atmospheric pressure high? Because if the pressure was low it would be raining?
No idea, but could be part of the answer.

Looks good. There are remote mount IAC blocks but it’s a bit late now. What you have will work fine. Theres a late 90s Land Rover not far from here with the same motor, possibly the 4.6 litre??? It’s been sitting for well over a decade now. As far as I know doesn’t even have 50K on it but would be t...
