Complete HD Domex 700MC Removable Differential Pan Kit

Our HD Removable Differential Pans are a little different to the other offerings on the market for Land Rovers - being made predominately made from 'Domex 700MC' Steel.
In simple terms this stuff is super bloody tough - as in its approx 3 x stronger than normal mild steel plate ... bear this in mind as you read on ......

The only welding needed is to weld the base plate ring and the fillets onto the axle casing - everything else is done for you. (Watch our Video )
The Base Ring is 8mm Domex, the Pan Base Plate is 5mm, and the Pan Cover itself is 3mm - multiply all of these by x 3 and that would be the Equivalent thickness if they were in mild steel !.

We have made the filler hole HUGE so you can get oil in easier, and Kits come with 'Nordlock' Washers - these are both very expensive - and the best lock washers you can buy.

Bend dent or damage these covers ...and you will probably have bigger issues finding the fillings that have been knocked out of your teeth with whatever you have managed to do to yourself and your truck :O)

SMP (Super Magnetic Plug) - Fits all Coil Sprung Axle Drain Plugs (inc Salisbury) and filler plug on LT230 TBox. LR Part No 608246

These are one of those things that people who have bought them say are a 'must have product for your Land Rover. Neil Waterson Editor of Land Rover Owner Magazine tested then for a year, and then wrote in LRO that these are a 5***** Product - Oh...and a 'Must Have' ...they are not expensive, but could save you serious money by keeping your oils cleaner than without them !:D

So, welcome to our Billet CNC Machined Xcess4x4 Diff Plug Range.

Lets start with the Xcess4x4 Plug replacement unit for the LR Drain Plug on the bottom on the Axle Casing - ( LR Part No : 608246 - Sorry but not for L322, RRS, Disco 3 & 4 or Freelander ). This unit also this fits the rear Filler Hole on LT230 Transfer Boxes. LR Axle Drain Plugs are just that - a 'Metal Bung', and there's all manner of swarf and metallic bits and bobs floating about looking to do damage - which they do !.

The Xcess4x4 plugs are made with one of the highest grade Neomagnets available, a Steel CNC machined Plug, then secured with a countersunk 12.9T Allen bolt. The LT230 Unit isStainless Steel - more suited to fitment into the aluminium housing of the LT230. Think of all the metallic bits floating around in your casings, engines and gearboxes. Now check out the rather Non H&S Video XCESS_DIFF_PLUG ! . These are so efficient that on your 1st oil change after you fit these we guarantee you will have a shock & a half at what these have picked up. Update ! Some time later I got this in from a very happy customer

'Hiya Nige.
Remember when I bought of pair of your Super Magnetic Drain Plugs at Donington 4x4 show, and how I explained I was very fussy on my oil changes and maintenance ?.
You smiled and said 'Maybe, but I still reckon come the 1st oil change after these you will near s**t yourself.'

'Well, last Sunday was oil change day. I definitely did s**t myself with a capital "S". Man these are mentally strong, in fact nearly as mental as you !'. Pic Enclosed (Drain plug not Underpants LOL). Absolutely brilliant mate, truly bloody amazing !. Use the above in any way you see fit . Great service, and great product, everyone should have a set of these in their Land Rover Engines, Gearboxes, and Axles.

Regards Malcolm

SMP (Super Magnetic Plug) Replacement for Land Rover SERIES Axle Drain Plugs - Part No 235592 & Crush Washer 515599

As with the Coil Sprung version which is proving a best seller - a number of customers have moaned groaned begged and badgered for a Series leaf Sprung Axle version. The initial 1st batch are currently at the platers ! Due into stock 1st December onwards !... Part No : 235592 and Crush Washer 515599. As with a lot of the other Genuine LR Sump Gearbox and Axle Plugs - they are just that - a 'Metal Bung'.

The Xcess4x4 plugs for the Series Axles are machined from a High Grade EN Solid Steel Billet, matched with the correct thread pitch (which is a seriously weird one lol ), and with the recess for the Crush Sealing Washer. Instead of the nasty weak 'Slot' in the base which distorts and fills with crud we have had these made with a 20mm socket head for socket or spanner for easy removal and refit. You will see from the picture that the unit has been cleverly altered so that the 'sticky out bit' is less than you would think by machining the washer flat thinner, which we can do as its a hugely strong steel and not the soft brass standard unit. As with the others a special Magnet (same size as the Coil Sprung Unit version - so video is equally valid) is then secured with a countersunk 12.9T Allen bolt. Think of all the metallic bits floating around in your casings, engines and gearboxes. Now check out the rather Non H&S Video SERIES Super Magnetic Drain Plug . These are so efficient that on your 1st oil change after you fit these we guarantee you will have a shock & a half at what these have picked up .

Below we have our range of additional Xcess4x4 Plugs to fit the vast majority of Land Rover Engines & Gearboxes.

After this offer the price will go back up, and yes they are a bit more expensive than the others, as I had to have "rather a lot made" to get the price down to a sensible level ....all things CNC are volume driven - and 100 x these is a very very small run on a 5 axis machine ...Set up time was longer than run time LOL !

Xcess Domex 700MC Front & Rear Axle Tube Strengthening Truss Kit.

'Finally', as customer said to me......
'Finally - a properly decent LR Axle Tube Truss Strengthening Kit' !.

Design had a long wish list.
Top, a decent fit, even taking into account LRs tolerances from Casing to Casing, poor fit means risk of warping when welding. Light, not some daftly heavy lump, especially for racers where weight is crucial. Strong, daftly seriously strong, these are made from 3mm Domex 700 MC, 3mm Domex = equivalent to 9mm Mild steel. Attractive, not like a old lump of RSJ has been grafted on. Practical, holes to lighten, without strength loss so crud can be washed out via drain holes. The kit does front and rear long sides, it's long sides that bend, not shorts - top only too, so why on earth would you go way OTT weld up underneath reducing ground clearance ?.

A Kit is :1 x Top Front Truss, 1 x Top Rear Truss + a 2nd part fitting over the top of the existing spring mounting. 2 x Rear 12mm 'Packers allowing the 3 rear parts to be all welded together, and the standard spring seat plate put back on. All complete with a set of Longer Nuts Bolts Washers, and detailed fitting instructions.

There are 2 x pictures sent in from happy customers - One is also using our HD Removable HD Domex Diff Pan, the other shown using a Devon 4x4 Differential Pan.

Land Rover 90 110 130 Twin Gas Ram Bonnet Opening kit - (See the Videos) - INCLUDING TD5s !

The 'Standard' Land Rover Bonnet Opening mechanisims and their 'Bonnet Props' are stuffs of legend / cracked heads / nipped fingers / wounds. The early 'Sizzor Type' is truly bludy lethal - and the later bonnet prop types not much better. But now there are 2 Kits with auto gas rams to sort this out. Video Here 'Xcess Twin Gas Ram Bonnet Opening Kits Video' Kit 1 - For 90 / 110 / 130 etc with 'Challenge Type' front wings. This kit gives you 2 x Gas Rams (with easy detachable clips for easy bonnet removal, 2 x handed CNC Plated Bonnet mounts, 2 x 'Weld on' Plated wing mounts, all 4 ball ends, nuts, washers, countersunk screws, etc etc, EVERYTHING needed to fit the Twin Gas Ram Bonnet Opening Kit.

The 2nd Kit is the kit for 'Standard' Winged 90/110s etc, (No welding required..bolt on 100% Bolt on Kit !) and covers 2.5 petrol + Diesels, 2.5 NAD 200 and 300 TDi, V8 90 and NAS 90 V8s etc and TD5s - However - TD5s need minor additional modifications - 'Click here to see full instructions and additional work for a TD5 Defender') - But NOT Puma and definately IT WILL NOT cope with wheels on bonnets ! - but other than these 2 reservations it will nicely sort out all the variants and including RHD and LHD versions. Multiple holes also give fine tuning for adjusted height when bonnet opens etc. All Brackets are CNC cut and plated using majority of existing mounting holes. Makes life so much easier and better, ....And lets face it.... we have our bonnets up... A LOT !!.

Land Rover Washer Wiper Jet Bar Conversion Kit Upgrade Kit - (See the Video)

This, next to Megasquirt is one the 'All time Favourite' Modifications I ever did to my Truck, and I did it 20 years ago using bits from a scrapyard. Those few cars that ran this system have long vanished, but we have sourced brand new units. Instead of the 'Rather Hopeless' Land Rover jets, this conversion kit has jet bars that attach to the entire length of the wiper, when you wash the screen now the wipers have jets of water up and down the entire length, just in front of the blade, cleaning your screen in seconds. See the 'Before & After' Video sent to us from Neil Burton with his TD5 90 running this kit

You can buy 2 x different kits.

The 1st Kit comes with 2 x new wiper blades and 2 x jet bars and fittings, or, for even more washing power the 'Double' Kit gives you 4 x Jet Bars and fitting so you can have bars both above AND below the blades for unbelivavle fast screen washing !. All Kits come with 2 or 4 Jet Bars, Clips for fixing, T piece, and a 'One way valve' and of course a pair of new Wiper blades. See the video here Washer Conversion Kits for how and why this is just a 'Must do Modification'.

Now,....
We have been doing these kits for over 10 years, and on my last reorder the blades used even with the same part number the manufactuer had changed it, so it no longer fitted :O(
After ordering in a huge number of various brand Land Rover Wiper Blades, we have found a new one - frankly even better fit than the old ones. This means we have a large number of Land Rover Wiper blades which are of no use to us at all !.

S...... whist stocks last, if you have a rear wiper on your Land Rover then select the kit you fancy + order the special offer kit and get a free Rear woper blade !!

Land Rover 200 + 300 TDi Heavy Duty Clutch Forks - 'Domex' Strengthened Part No for Ref : FTC2957 / FTC2957HD

These are our new 'XS' Xcess 200 + 300 TDi Heavy Duty Clutch Forks - and these are strengthened with 3mm 'Domex' Steel

Our upgraded Xcess Clutch Forks are a must in any 200 / 300 TDi 4x4 - with or without running one of our Xcess Clutch Units. The standard units are known for giving way, with the pivot punching through the dome on the Clutch fork, rendering your clutch useless - and a big job ahead.

Whilst there are some attempts of 'HD 200 300 TDi Clutch Forks" on the market ours is a league ahead. We reinforce the entire central area and the dome with 3mm 'Domex' Steel - this special steel is more than 2 x the strength of standard sheet steel (and then some). We CNC cut and then TIG Weld 3mm Domex onto a new Quality Fork, so thats stronger than even adding a 6mm plate !. Fit it once and forget it. Its what our products are all about, built UP to a spec and not DOWN to a price, and these are not expensive compared with what is already out there, but a world apart in Quality. ! The Part Number(s) for these for reference would be : FTC2957 / FTC2957HD. These are finished Black and come with the 2 x Release bearing carriers and Slave cylinder Clip, and a Stainless steel CNC release bearing retaining clip to replace the daft standard plastic one ! (as in the picture)
