Thanks everyone, as always advice is much appreciated.

Thank you. Your experience is exactly my concern. Despite me explaining the replacement chassis suppliers insist I provide my reg and vin number. If there’s a difference between early 1986 chassis and later 300tdi they will blame me.
Appreciated your reply, thank you.

Thanks but my question was whether the mounting points for tow bars on the early 86 year chassis is the same as the later 300tdi chassis. Not if the actual engine affects tow bar

Hi. Could anyone advise on comparability of tow bars. My problem is that I have an early 1986 Land Rover 90 that had a 300tdi engine and box fitted before I bought the car. I fitted a new richards chassis last year and had to buy the 300tdi to suit the mounting points. When I try to order a tow...

Thanks I changed the chassis for a new galvanised one about 6 months ago. Now it’s getting muddy and winter salt spreading going on I’m thinking I should spray it with something to protect it. Lansoguard is advertised a lot so I wondered if it’s as easy to use and effective as advertised. The...

It was a new pump but off eBay not a reputable Land Rover parts supplier. Like always with these things it’s the time I spent trying to bleed the system many times that’s most frustrating but never mind. At least it wasn’t the expansive steering box.
just need to finish wiring the lights back...

Thanks everyone. Ive just done a chassis swap so decided to have the steering box rebuilt and replace the steering pump as it was leaking a bit. I fitted the old pump back on yesterday and problem solved, steering working fine. I would never had thought a new pump would be faulty. Got to try and...

Thanks everyone for the advice. I removed outlet hose from the pump and that was flowing with fluid. I raised the wheels of ground and bleed the steering box until loads of fluid came off there so assume it’s ok. The steering is still really heavy when I put it back on the ground, like no power...

Thanks I will try that. It is very heavy trying to turn it lock to lock whilst stationary and it’s not yet back on road yet.

Has anyone experienced problems filling / bleeding steering system. Following a chassis swap I had my steering box remanufactured and fitted a new steering pump so all new. I filled the reservoir and loosened the bleed valve on the steering box, kept topping the reservoir until air stopped...

Thanks everyone. I wanted to double check there wasn’t any alternative before started drilling holes.
