Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Still looks the same as the last time I seen it about 18 months ago. Hope that 4.6 is doing you well

Looks the goods, not much left of Bob now if anything :cry: . Just going through some pics of how it was when I bought it 6 years back (on my external hardrive, would post one up if I had one on hand)... Damn it was a tidy classic :D

But then I'm good at killing Rangies, between grimace and yours ...

Bloody hell, you can't whinge about that even if it needs some TLC. Some new parts and it's still far less than the new price

Grimace, I didn't fully read the new post re-3.5 Still it technically a 90 model VIN number should read SALLHAM3GA somethinmg or rather

i still have my lt230 from my defender ,how much work is involved in swapping the borg or is the borg worth keeping ?

Just make sure you have a front drive shaft for a LT230 as the BW one is about 40mm longer. Also the linkage for the diff lock will be required or you could make up your own :cool ...

Yes they were sold here but you'll have to be patient as they'res a handful going around and very few for sale. Carsales has one for sale but it's a bit pricey for what it is IMO but they're a rare beast to get a hold of so you may have to pay more than you would like.

Mate bought a LSE 'hard dash ...

I hang around here daily I just don't post all that often these days, don't have much to say (unusual for me even ).

Re- 7 year old thread, time flies doesn't it

Trav

I blame ruff and outerlimits4x4 for my lack of income.

That doesn't apply when you own a rangie and you fuck around with it all the time :finger: . I know, I've been there as you know having own 12 Rangies in 14 years gets a bit much :twisted: :twisted: Still I wouldn't have it any other way ...

It would need to be replaced if it has eaten through (sounds as if that coolant hadn't been used for a while at some point in the Rangies past). Complete timing covers for rangies are plentiful.

I have a couple here that are not doing anything PM if you're keen.

cheers mick

LT230 or a LT95 4 spped manual? I have a LT95 in bits but complete on e-bay for the exxy price of $1 start if you're keen

Trav

Bloody hell this was a loooong time ago now, owned about 6 rangies since then . I still stand by my comments from that time.

Couldn't imagine Grimace running 265's on his Rangie now, maybe as a road tyre

Trav

Nope, on the end of the output shaft on the auto gearbox they'res a bolt that holds the splined shaft onto it, remove the bolt and they're you go. Quite simple really.

Trav

Cheers Trav,

Ok the 230 is to come from a '98 Disco manual. Sorry, are you saying that the output shaft of the auto needs changing or the shaft to the front diff?

Shaft on the back of the auto will need changing. I would sell you one cheap if it was the right unit but I don't have one. The ...

You'll need a front driveshaft as the BW one is a tad longer otherwise it should fit straight onto the back of the gearbox.. I also remeber that about 1995 onwards (if the donor LT230 is from a later Disco) the spline on the shaft is longer than the earlier ones. Autos are easy to replace as the ...

Bloody cheap bastards :D :D :D

Seriously the earlier Discos are worth fuck all these days, with lockers maybe $3K pending on condition. Remember you need to factor the cost into fitting the lockers (rtoughly $3K at your friendly money hungry ARB stockist) and add that to the overall cost of the ...

they coming by factory with it. No way around

that's a rather bleek view.

a mate fixed his 93 defender with new rear drive flanges and axles.

Something else to look for is a worn ball joint in the rear aframe link.

LT95 4 speeds are all shocking in the backlash department, my first Rangie I ...

Okay, LPG on Rangies suck, I've had 2 of them and this one I have removed would rathre pay more at the bowser than have continual issues with it (gas belongs on BBQ's :bad-words: ).

Fuel economy you'll get 18-19l/100 kms on a good day, a bad day it could be around the mid to high 20's.It's all is ...

Also maybe trying to re-fit points and see if your electronic ignition might have crapped itself. I also remember on one of my old Rangies that the wire on the back of the alternator I left off accidentally when I had to do the head gasket caused me a few headaches, put it back on and it started ...

Starter relay, those old rangies electrically are unpredictable and can throw a curly issue into the mix without even touching it. Also they
rtes a fuse that is linked to the ignition on those things (one of three) may cause it to not start.

Your fuel pump is still going isn't it? Nothing to do ...

Check that they'res no earth strap or mounting point on the back of the inlet manifold, that could be a possibility if you'rte ignition worked before and not now. Also something stupid (because I've done it :oops: ) is put the wiring on the coil arse about.

Just a suggestion, good luck with it ...

hey mate what did the air filter box come out of?

thanx brett

I fitted that before Micka bought the Rangie off me. I found it on a rangie wreck when I bought the snorkel as well to make the fitting of it all much easier (I had to cut the air filter down a bit becaise the AFM didn't fit properly ...

The Rangie is now sold, was towed away on a trailer about an hours ago most likely heading off to that big 4WD track in the sky (was bought for parts pretty much).

Onto bigger and better things now

Trav

LRA flares are not what they're cracked up to be, I also busted mine on the first trip and 6-7 months later I had to bin them as they got smashed up beyond rea[pir and at $600 a set that's not good enough IMO :bad-words: .

If you're cheap, the rubber ones that clark rubber sell do the job, cost ...

I have dropped the price to $850 for those who really care Reason as I want it out of my yard before Christmas.

Trav

If you're a fat bastard like me Sam, a Defender is too bloody uncomfortable the seats are narrow, I don't like the idea of being wedged up against the door and the bloody handbrake is just awful to drive with.

I drove a couple of defenders, no thanks I like my Rangie classic.

Trav

I was waiting for a response Simo

Nope, the grass is always greener on the other side

Maybe I should buy a defender ...Or even worse a Toyota

Trav

Going cheap if anyone want's it. Some useable parts or maybe a good project for someone , either way you can't loose

Want it gone before Christmas, but I'm not giving it away either -

love the colour

Me too, I remember looking at buying my first Rangie in the exact same colour and in great nick, didn't buy it because it didn't have power steering (was a 73 model with the light in the CDL switch).

I was kicking myself later on, especially the POS rust bucket that I eneded up ...

No worries, good luck with your new hobby/venture.
