Thanks guys.
My angle here, is that I currently have a standard 3.5 v8 in my 110 running SUs. It's done almost 80k miles and I debate whether when I get it out to have it re-built, if I should go t ... |

| Thanks Greeni. It's certainly something I'm looking at. Did you buy the whole v8 conversion kit? I'm guessing the ZFHP22/24 is a slightly more sophisticated gearbox than the LT85 (mine whines a tonne ... |

Charcoal,
I'd speak to Pat at Fenair if you are having issues with aircon in a land rover / defender. He did a great job bringing mine back from the dead.

Mo,
Pictures of my system below I keep meaning to write a review of the job Fenair did restoring it (especially given all the time we have at the moment with the lock down). These pictures are pre- ... |
