The engine in my Ex-MoD 2a 109 has a red block and cylinder head? its 2.25 petrol

When I was younger ( 17) and new to land rovers I bought a brake overhaul set from Britpart lol, put the fronts on a year or so ago, bloody hard work, I had to get some fence wire with a long bar with some of those spring pullers from Frosts and whilst I pulled the spring / shoe a friend had to...

Just my two pennies worth... I know it's a expense but what about lightweight radius arms?

After months of searching to find a good set - aside from having to buy a complete set of headlights from Blanchards, my military headlight cowls have arrived!! In good nick too, theyve come with the retaining rings also :-) Ebay is good for things ever so often haha

Hi Guys, I am putting the finishing touches to my rented garage ready to bring the 2a up and had a sort out of mi shed at the weekend. YWhen I was younger someone gave me a seized diesel engine and told me it was a land rover engine. Its a 12J so its later than my 1964 Series 2 haha...

Has it? Blimey.. Never heard of that happening before lol Did the rod end break?

Hey that's a bloody good idea!! :-) ... Like a hinged up and over door :-) I'm going to do that :-)

Yea that's the conclusion I came to chrisy, thought if stood any chance of getting mine on the road I had to be proactive and build something because I really couldn't see a cheap unit coming up for rent in my area.

Or Haynes: Refitting is the reverse sequence to removal. Translation: But you swear in different places. Haynes: Locate securing bolt. Translation: Remember that worrying noise when you drove along the A38 last summer? That's where you'll find the securing bolt. And (still laughing at this...

List of 'real' Haynes translations comes to mind haha Haynes: One spanner rating (simple). Translation: Your Mum could do this... so how did you manage to botch it up? Lol Don't worry I know someone who didn't think the oil light pressure switch mattered if it didn't work, next thing leg...
