LIGHT DISARM RESISTORS
The resistors are connected into the wiring at each wheel to bypass the original dampening solenoid so that the Road Sensing Suspension will function without giving the driver a suspension error message on the instrument cluster.

INSTALL RESISTORS
Cut the wires leading to the dampening solenoid on the strut/shock. Connect the wires to the ends of the resistor. (This is an in-line resistor so it does not matter which wire goes in or out.) Tape up both ends with suitable electrical tape to prevent both shorts and corrosion. Tie back out of way with a plastic strap.

The primary reason for the selection of the Prima engine for duty in your Land Rover will be fuel economy. The Montego is well known for being frugal, 55mpg averages are common, but its also one of the cheapest engines to buy at the moment due to the ten plus year old cars failing their MOTs. The prima is also fairly well know for a long service life as well as its e?ciency and it is a high reving diesel with very similar power delivery to the Land Rover petrol engine. It is not unusual to pay $50 – $150 for a car with a good engine, in fact many people are given the carsm. So they have an edge over a lot of the other possibilities. The engine doesn’t ?t on a Land Rover gearbox, so an adapter plate is needed to ?t between the two, I supply these. The other problems are flywheel size and starter rotation, these are solved by the use of parts from a van supplied with the normaly aspirated version of the engine. The conversion doesn’t require any chassis or bulkhead modifications, you will have to make or adapt an exhaust, alter the wiring and fabricate a throttle cable other than that it’s all a bolt in job. The conversion should make a swb do between 34-40mpg, I manage both figures, its drivable at motorway speeds and will generally keeps up with traffic that a 2.25 Land Rover diesel wouldn’t.

This blower motor has undergone some changes in design so the installation procedures have also changed. The original motor was a two piece motor and the wheel was secured with a set screw. GM changed the design to a one piece unit with a fiberglass heat shield and the wheel is pressed on. On some of the models you may need to remove the front cradle bolts so the engine can be rocked forward. This will help keep the valve cover from interfering with the blower motor replacement. On all models; disconnect the negative battery cable.
