It also had a VIC check in 2010, it passed.
Yep I agree, however the exhaust isn't too intrusive but it is a deep growl when under load, compared to a rasp which a straight through open exhaust tends to have.
Prefer the look more than anything, I hated the 2 briefcases hanging down by the bumper ;p;
Don't put 75w80 or DEX 3 in the 6hp26 for godsake.
ZF Lifegard 6 is the correct and only fluid that can be used, a genuine kit is £250 which includes instructions on how to do it as there is a procedure to follow.
Don't follow the procedure or use the wrong oil and you'll fuck the box.
Are you going to keep hold of it after some titivation or is it a fix it and sell for profit?
Managed to bust the oil filler tube.
Looked for a new 'un over £100 for a plastic tube!! fook that.. £30 on evilbay later.
Changed the oil too
Accumulators are just cannisters with nitrogen on one side and brake fluid on another with a butyl seal in between the two.
Over time the nitrogen leaks out and the pump has to run more often to top up the pressure, a sure fire sign you have a dead accumulator is the pump has to run every time you press the pedal.
Having the pedal sink to the floor upon cold start is another sign it is past it.
Mine has started doing it.
Only risk you have is torching the head or block through the small gap.
But as you're changing the engine it shouldn't matter.
LPGC I removed it because the tank was corroded through in the bottom.
As for forecourts yes I have none in my area, I would convert it back if I could justify the cost.
The outfit that did the last conversion did a shit job, so not really worth screwing around with the current system.
A whole new system is the way forward.
New one of these.
Better runner now..
HSE's were the upper most spec in V8 world before the Vogue most if not all had electric seats cruise control and the HK sound system,
I seem to recall yours has the painted lower valance on the bumper?
Might be worth getting the VIN decoded by a LR dealer, a factory spec sheet you can get too.
it Is relatively easy i'm counting the days for mine, seeing as I pulled chunks of one of the clutch baskets out of the filter.
The Gems and thor transmissions differ in length the earlier Gems HP24 is 15mm longer than the latter 065 hp24 as fitted to the thor V8.
I know its a don't teach an old chicken scenario but i'd make sure you have the earlier box to ease any issues come installation time )
I'd add a new trans oil cooler to that list Richard ,don't want any debris from your old gearbox going through your new one,
PIAA make silicone wiper blades, which last a lifetime..
Expensive though.
Removed this.
And added this.
Helps having a spare in the right place, the first time its been there since 2003.
