Thread: Help Need Dimensions

According to the HS 2.8 website, it's clone of the 300tdi is 205kg. According to rave, 1995/6/7 axles (Disco & RRC) are rated at 1100 front, 1500 rear, and diesel versions (Although I don't know why ..) are rated at 1200 front, 1600 rear.

I've been reading about the 5-53 a little, have you got a photo of one of them?

There are a number of people who have put 6.5 chev's into their rangies ( 6.5rangie ...), but if you are contemplating a diesel, I read where somebody in the UK put one into a 101 ( bolt in kit) and found it good except it developed it's power at lower revs than the LR v8. Good excuse to fit 33 or 35 inch tyres to your 110

Thanks Langy,
I have just received a 53 series manual from the states and am yet to open it. I will look for pictures for you and probably scan and reply with same here.

I am going to change the gearing in the transfer case that will drop 600 revs in high range only, on advice from engineer here.

I want the vehicle to look almost standard save from sill tanks and 135ltr at the rear. I have OME suspension and am happy although I may have to increase the front by about 20% according to engineer. Have ARB lockers and axle upgrade etc.

Regards,
PeterW

Just an aside, It's a bit of a waste fitting 33" or even 35" inch tyres when the 101" has almost 36" tyres as standard spec.

Do you know anyone making 37" tyres???

Less or more? Less is not as good.

Have you told them that 110's came with an Isuzu 4BD1 that weighs 325kgs fan to flywheel (no clutch) dry? The all iron 3-53 is 454 kgs and the aluminium version is almost certainly lighter than a 4BD1.

The Defender is rated (per info at hand) at 3050 and the Rangie at 3070? I would have thought the Defender being a more trade/ utility type of vehicle, should have the Maximum Permitted Laden Weight for Vehicle (Rover Group Ltd) greater than the R/Rover.

No I have not Brian and G'day. Be certain that I will within minutes!! Thanks for that. I have not any more than the Alloy motor weighs about the same as a hemmi slant engine from Prosserpine? I am yet to open the Manual that came in the mail at home.

My Australian Supplement Owner's Handbook gives the following maximum axle weights for the vehicles with the 3.9 diesel:-

County Wagon- front 1300kgs, rear 1750kgs

Chassis/cab- front 1300kgs, rear 1900kgs
