A couple of questions if I may - Twin shocks and rebuilding a 200tdi

<< < (2/2)

Range Rover Blues:
Twin shocks have been "associated" with better handling and not needing ARBs, I don't get that myself but hey-ho.  You will of course get a harder ride, much more crashy (bump-thump) too.

I've got to agree with Andy B here, the way dampers work when you are landing a special valve inside the damper "blows off" excess pressure, the dampers do not absorb that much shock, so longer and stiffer springs are called for.

Remember though that we are talking about a 2 tonne car here, there is a reason that elephants don't jump ;)

stuntman:
Haha, I know, but something inside of me wants to try, I reckon I will try it and if I don't like the ride I will use the front second mount as the primary one as it will make replacing the shock so much easier.

I'm just going to have a play really, at least I can say that I've had them on and tried it  :-.

Next. Anyone for the engine quesion???

Cheers Gav, will do matey

Range Rover Blues:
Emgine-I suggest you weigh up the prices of doing the work, reboring, crank regring etc etc and dicide whether it would be cheaper to buy a S/H engine that runs.  If the head is good it has to be worth a few bob as 200TDi heads are still about £500.  You could alomost buy a complete 300 for that.
