Morning all, Does anyone have a 2.25 or 2.5 na engine they're wanting to get rid of? I'm looking to rebuild one on the bench before swapping out my tried 2.25 diesel in the Series 3. Will be getting fully stripped but ideally something that hasn't got any massive issues.

Morning all, I've strayed over from the Series section to ask a bit of advice. I've been offered the above vehicle from a family member for £5.5k before it's traded in. I've not been looking toget rid of my V70 but I could always be tempted to change as its been a few years. The vehicle has...

Needed to wash off the underside of the Series 3 today so took the short trip for a dip in West Acre Ford. Little deeper than last time I went through, but not bad considering the rain we've had recently. Castle Acre Ford was barely above the centre of wheels in comparison. Should really think...

Afternoon all, I had some issues with the fan belt snapping on a drive yesterday, I carry a spare but about 20 miles afterwards that snapped too. Correctly tensioned and a new belt, so concluded it must have been the pulleys that caused it. Whipped them off today and there's a build up of...

Good morning all, Does anyone know where one of these twin spur fittings can be purchased individually rather than the whole fuel line? A friend on mine is in a pickle after managing to snap one of the outlets off the fitting. Beer tokens available if someone has a spare they'd be willing to...

Afternoon all, Few photos of the bumper I've just finished for my 109. 6mm bumper with some extra brackets to accept a Warn 10,000lb 12v winch. Couple of recovery eyes for good measure then galvanised.

I'm nearing the end of my build now, (separate thread but missing bits towards the end) so just playing around with finishing touches. Long story short, before I took ownership, the 109 was owned and maintained by my Great grandfather and after him by my grandfather, both using it as a recovery...

Evening all, A few photos and brief description of this job. Reason: 1. There's a noticeable difference in engine performance when cold and found if cruising at 45mph in rain/cold the coolant temp stayed very low. 2. I do go off roading and through the occasional ford, so needed a means of...

I'm looking for a middle seat for my Series, to go between the two defender seats I'm using. Black and usable condition please, don't mind it being a bit tatty though, it's only for the dog. I'm in Poole, Dorset.

Evening all, I've got 3 1L bottle kits of black Raptor I'm not going to use. £60 inc postage or collection from Poole, Dorset.

Does anyone have a side bench seat they no longer want? Only looking for one complete, or two cushions (back and base) to go on my original frame. Thanks

Leaking from the o-ring on the pump head. I've sent my spare pump off for refurbishment but in the mean time I thought I'd whip off the original and give it a go myself. £55 quid ish for a rebuild kit and 1hr to remove and strip.

I'm after some shims to set the preload on my front diff pinion bearings. Think they're the same for discovery/defender/series, just metric or imperial. Anyone got any laying around?

Afternoon all, Today's job is rebuilding the front diff after I discovered a lot of play in the pinion bearing. I've got as far as driving in the new races etc but the original shims give me way too much preload. Does anyone have a selection of shims for the front Rover type diff and ideally...

Afternoon all, Noticed a diesel leak when I recently parked up, dribbling down the side of the block, clearly from the injection pump. Bit of a clean up and it's coming from the side that faces the bulkhead, a dribble rather than a squirt. Removed the injection pipe to cylinder 4, then...

Afternoon all, Decided to cover up my new floor panels with something because they just look out of place. Not a fan of the rubber floor mats, wanted something that fits the look of my Landy (patina is the nice way of putting it). Before and after... Not carpet but outdoor doormats. About...

Evening all, I've been sitting on this for a little while now but though I'd share my experience with JKB gearboxes. Image below is of the eBay listing, selling reconditioned Series 1, 2 and 3 gearboxes. For search engine results: JKB gearboxes Joeb Hygate-Beaumont Lumb Lane, Halifax. HX2 7UJ...

M8000 24v winch with steel wire rope. Solenoid pack isn't working but I've e bench tested the winch directly on the motor and runs in bother directions. I haven't investigated why the solenoid isn't working, could simply be loose wires. As per the pictures, paint is a little flaky but workable...

Afternoon all, I've got a set of used K02s for sale if anyone here is interested. LT245 70 R17 Load rating 119 116S Date code 4517 Tread between 8 and 9mm They're used but perfectly usable, blocks are a little cut up by stones etc but lots of life left in them. £300, located in Bournemouth...

Afternoon all, Out for a drive on Saturday morning when I heard a thump and my charge light came on. Knew immediately it was the fan belt letting go so pulled over and let the engine cool for 30 mins or so. Luckily I was only 15 mins from home so set off again gingerly, heating on full whack...
