More disco questions
petergalileo:
Mine had 205 R16, now has 205/65 R16 and I have driven one with 235s fitted, to be honest, other than the turning circle I didnt notice much of a difference.
Auto/manual - driven lots of manuals, most of them clunked when you took up the drive. I have driven 3 autos, 1 was terrible and the other 2 were excellent. Quick accelleration and smoothe gear changes. The ZF auto used on all the discos up to the TD5 (not sure if they used it on those) is a solid lump which gives little trouble.
Apparently the uprated intercooler can give upwards of 20BHP but like anything I guess the more you spend the better the result. Also heard of one guy who ran his intercooler through his air-con.
But saying all that, I am sticking with my old carbed V8 !!
Cal:
Hiya,
you normally hear that a standard size but more efficient intercooler is an increase of up to 25% on bhp and the full size efforts are more like 35%.
Have a look at this site:
http://www.bellautoservices.co.uk/ and give Pete a call - the best price I've seen so far, but I guess Allisport and Allards are the most popular at the moment?

Most of them . . . . I though it was ALL of them . . . . the legendary Land Rover Clunk :lol:
So young Richard, you can add that to your list as well. When you get one don't think it's broke . . . . . . it's just what they do . . . . . and damned annoying it can be as well :wink:

It's why the UK has an Amber stage in its traffic lights, time for the LR owners to take up the slack in their transmission! :lol: :lol:
