Rougharse Racing's latest activity

Just in case someone has the same problem, I ended up using the original LT77 push rod on the advice of Ashcrofts, and all seems to work from a static test. The ftc3912 option was about another 20mm longer and waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too long. The...

James hasn't been around for several years unfortunately - but if he said those are the right bits, then the odds are infinitesimally small that they're not!

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I am preparing a short bellhousing R380 to go into my 110. I am struggling with clutch pushrods as there seem to be various options. I'm not sure why there is much difference as despite the various bell...

You my or my not be caught, but one thing is for certain. Putting them on a vehicle that is too new for them and only fitting for 'style' purposes is a truly w anker thing to do.

If it is ex-military, the date of first registration (assuming it's DVLA) will be much later than it's year of manufacture.

I replaced my tank a while ago and got a full set of fittings, I don't remember having too many problems removing the old bits. I do remember thinking that I might have struggled if I had used plain nuts and bolts rather than the proper captive...

I am replying to this old post because I had the same issue and this post came up on a google search. Hopefully it may assist someone else having the same issue and like me, is having a little panic. The front layshaft bearing, (the lower one)...

Thanks for your replies, it's in bits at the moment, just awaiting a couple of bearings. I managed to remove the input pinion without moving the mainshaft, but only time will tell if I have to dismantle it further to re-fit the pinion.

Thanks for the reply, I'm trying to convert a TD5 R380 to a R380 Stumpy without destroying anything expensive.

Check the mixture adjustment, there is a small pin under the float chamber, it pushes the piston up slightly. If the mixture is correct the engine revs should increase slightly, then return to normal. If the revs stay increased it is too rich, if...

I need to replace the input shaft on a R380 gearbox. I know that I have to pull the box apart and remove the gear on the back of the layshaft, but do I have to disturb the gears on the rear of the mainshaft ? I'm hoping that I can get sufficient...

Admittedly not a Land Rover, but when I was struggling to start a van after a top end rebuild, despite following all the injector bleeding ritual, I tow started it a short distance and it cracked up no problem. Could be worth a try if you have a...

I have a LT77 gearbox in my 110, I have noticed that when I remove the drain plug / oil filter housing on the 5th gear extension housing very little oil comes out despite the main box being full. Is this normal? I have always drained the main...
