    2.5l na diesel compression figures

    What kind of compression should I be getting from my engine? I don't have the correct size adapter to screw my tester in so I've only been able to hold the thing on. I'm seeing 200psi from 1 and 2 and 150psi from 3 and 4 but it's hard to get the tester on those back two. The timing belt broke...

    Best $50 CB?

    I'm looking for an inexpensive CB radio for my SIII. Plenty of mounting options available to me. I've been told by one friend to go for Uniden over Midland and told by a shop to go for Midland over Uniden (go figure). :rolleyes: I understand that there's extra cost involved in antenna, coax...

    Hub Bolts

    So my '82 SIII has had a leaking rear hub for a while. I finally got around to checking on it last night and found all the bolts loose - I just spun them out with my fingers. I pulled the hub off and slid the shaft out and replaced the gasket then began to re-tighten the bolts. One broke in...

    Smoke on Startup

    I get a ton of smoke coming out of my diesel on startup. I can't quite tell if it's blue or white. I'd say it's white with maybe a hint of blue. It's quite embarassing but after it's warm, then I just get black smoke. It'd be nice to get no smoke at any time, but at least no smoke on startup...

    Mean Green Starter

    Does anyone have (or heard of) a Mean Green starter attached to a 200 or 300 tdi? Just trying to find out if one is compatible with my 2.5 na diesel. The starter I need is the same unit as the 200 or 300 tdi, not the 2.25 or early 2.5l. I like the idea of the Mean Green, but I can't get a...

    Back in the Game!!!

    I am now the proud owner of another Land Rover. Just took delivery of an '82 88" on Friday. It has been a long time since I've owned a Series and I've never had a diesel so get ready for the stupid questions coming your way. Got a new dog recently too.:D

    Insurance

    Anyone have any good sources for insurance? Just got a quote from Geico for my '82 for $204/6 months for comprehensive. I know it'll vary state to state, but perhaps there are companies out there that know what a Series Rover is and charges appropriately. Or perhaps I don't want one that...

    Series Weight

    Anyone know the approximate weight of an 88" SIII? It's a diesel (2.5l) if that matters as I understand those motors are a little heavier. Station wagon without the tropical roof, a few bash plates and tire carrier. Any help appreciated. I'm contemplating trailering it to the Nat. Rally in...

    Rally GB Tragedy

    I know there are some rally fans here. Markko Martin's codriver Michael "Beef" Park was killed last weekend during the Wales Rally GB. Very sad day for rallying. It doesn't happen very often, but when it does, it shocks the rallying world to its core. Just thought some of you might want to...
