M.H.

From my experience with marine and stationary versions of engines they have heavier rods, pistons, crank, and are tuned to run efficiently in quite a small rpm window

Look for a peugeot 405 turbo deez, cheap as to run and comfortable to drive and not a little noisy puddle jumper

When I bought my 110 it had an isuzu c230 engine fitted, cleared everything, could be an option if you are wanting another diesel. Also have seen 200tdi engines fitted, they pretty much bolt up, people run them without the turbo as well

Theres a small single phase plasma at work I could bring, will need compressed air

The mechanical pump will need to have a tps on it for the auto and possibly some wiring mods

The electronic pumps wear quite quickly and have problems with the spill control valve. How many kms has it done?

I bought another discovery on the weekend and it has a couple of rrc ross styles on it with 7.5r16 tyres, one looks near new cant remember what the other is like

Just keep an eye out on trademe for secondhand deals. I picked up mine with a retractable hose reel for $500

Yep works well, I used it to sand down my 6m boat

Ive got a hindin marquip 15cfm, needs a 15a socket though so keep that in mind

2.0 16vs go pretty hard in a mk1. I had one in a mk1 that I had about 8 years ago

If you are talking direct bolt in with factory mounts you are limited to the 8v and 16v. You can bolt in a 1.8t from a early a4 or passat. 

The later 1.8t from the mk4 ect will require custom mounts. These can be bought online.

Also the gearbox used in the mk1 is an 020. It has a cable clutch and rod shifter. They are fine for 8v and 16v. With a 1.8t you will want the 02a or 02j from the mk4. These have a hydraulic clutch and cable shifter so need to take that into consideration.

If I was doing it again id be using a 1.8t and box from a mk4. The front of a mk1 cant handle the weight of the vr6 imo

Barry wont have any metric though

Yea they are commercial tyres, brothers van has 215/75/16 on it now and dont want to go smaller diameter as it already revs too high

When a tyre has a size of 205r16 whats the profile ratio? 

I need to go and pick up a car next weekend from kerikeri, any recommendations on who to hire one from?

mk3 golfs use connectors like that, could get some from pick a part

I have a land rover discovery, its mint mechanically but has some nasty rust in the body, can I just swap the body from another onto my chassis?

Any pics? I could be interested in it as it is

What model is it?

What rules I need to read up on changing my mercedes to rack and pinion steering?

Mercedes M104, 3.2l 24v 162kw. Cheap as 

Ive never understood the point of fitting a switch when its less work just to replace the thermo switch. 

I all ways carried a piece of wire with a male spade terminal crimped on each end. It could be used for the fuel pump relay or thermo switch

There is no meat in the hub to redrill them to 4x100. Easiest way is the swap the rear rotors and use g60 corrado spec up front. Cant remember exactly what parts you need for the corrado

You can run the 280mm Corrado rotor if you want to go back to 4x100
