Oh no! I know how disheartening it is to have to undo a bunch of work. But on the upside bolts will not be seized

oh dear mate does sound rough, however I am easily convinced with bacon sandwiches: rolllaugh:
![]() we ought o have a chat about the ratios you have going on. the MT82 aren't too dissimliar to my own R380 and you have the 1.22 TC. wonder what is worth changing first.. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/black_defender_v8/ |

The MT82 ratio's may be similar to the R380 but my MT82 gearbox should be in a Land Rover in Sri Lanka by now

Of course you have the ZF, forgot about that. So it does look like a Ratio change is needed... since youre in there you might as well get an ATB? Theyre brilliant, a really noticeable improvement.
I'm loving my exhaust note at the moment but it can be a bit too larry at times.... I may pop a standard TD5/ Tdci Silencer back on and see what that is like. Then of course throw an exhaust cut out on there so I don't completely miss the opportunity of getting an Asbo. ![]() ![]() |

I've just put the standard TD5 mid Silencer back on the car as it was simply too asbo and now the thing is mute and boring.
![]() Does anyone know if the rear silencer on the car is worth removing just to gain a bit of growl or whether it may be worth me replacing the mid silencer with an off the shelf "sports Silencer" as seen on Devon4x4 and a couple of other places. I'll probably be taking that rear section off to see if it'll have some beans behind it noise-wise later today but thought I'd ask the question anyway. Will get some vids up on YT later too. ![]() Click image to enlarge (Photo of the car looking good) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/black_defender_v8/ |
