As the great photobucket ransom situation of 2017 has ruined a fair few threads, mine included I thought I'd bang some photos up on here. Not so much a rebuild thread more a thread to document where I go with it and various maintenance jobs to keep her as my daily driver. Soon to include an...

Anyone gotany pics of how the handbrake cable attaches to the support bracket and the seatbox? Cant remember how it was when we took it off. The gearbox end is okay, its just the seatbox nd im trying to figure out

I know I have another rebuild thread but thats more a collection of random photos As most know, there is also a 90 on the go in our garage which is my brothers and the time has come for an engine rebuild. (Yes that project is still on the go just havent updated it for ages) Stage 1: Getting...

As above, does anybody know the thread size for this sender? http://www.paddockspares.com/prc3541-temperature-sensor-red.html I have the earlier smaller sender and a plug in place of this larger one, I want to fit another temp sender to go to my gauge so want to get a reducer that fits (failing...

Been looking around recently for ideas to make my 88" more suitable for going on camping trips and the like and came across the searle safari campers and the mini carawagon. The mini carawagon is great however it only seats 4 due to one side being taken up with a kitchen cabinet. The Searle...

Usually quite a good land rover turnout with mostly series vehicles. I should be there if nothing else comes up in the meantime. Quite a good local show with steam engines and a load of old lorries, buses and tractors usually as well as trade stands and the all important beer tent...

2.5 fitted into a series 3, runs beautifully smooth however gauge reads 3/4s up on the temperature between n and the red with light driving, going on the dual carriageway at 50 makes it go to under 3mm of the red. I dont believe its running this hot comparing it to my friends 2.25 diesel which...

Yes, unfortunately I have to rebuild the front end of the series (or Margaret as she's been christened by my one of my mates) after a disagreement with a tractor. Whilst I'm at it I shall be upgrading and improving as I go along to really futureproof it and make it much nicer to use as a daily...

As above really, does anybody know where to get a starter dog for a 2.5 N/A? Or is it the same thread as the series starter dogs on the 2.25s? Asking as i have a capstan winch to fit to my 88 and only have a pulley bolt at the minute. If i can't find one I will probably adapt the drive shaft to...

Anyone know a good make that fits the 2.5N/A plus capillary tube(s)? Or failing that do you know the thread size for the oil pressure switch and water temp sender for a t piece to go in? I dont trust the standard sender in my series 3 and feel its worth having an oil pressure gauge for a...

Ive noticed, immediately on start up I get a plume of black smoke, goes away afer maybe 2 seconds. also if i rev it up and take my foot off the accelarator (whilst stationary, I get black smoke). Also has a slight haze whilst on full throttle and is running hot (Needle a couple of mm under the...

My series had been having problems with temperemental brakes. Ev ery so often on a long uphill run the brakes would be binding. This was apparantly due to air in the master cylinder. It lost all its fluid when it blew a wheel cylinder the last time it did this so Ive replaced that cylinder and...

Got a 2.5na diesel. Used to do 70 easy then injector pump started playing up and developed a leak. Power dropped way down struggling to do 50. Recon injector pump fitted as well as a new delphi lift pump. Engine runs nice on idle but kicks out black smoke on start up and has a haze of...

Series is a bit down on power and runs a bit hot (between N and the red) on motorway stretches. Retarded the fuel pump slightly which gave me more power around town but still speed was maxing out around 50 on the flat ( ive had it to 70 before last year), engine is 2.5 n/a Also After the...

Jacked up the wheel and I can move it side to side with the play (as in the motion the wheel makes if the steering wheel is moved). There is no up and down movement so isnt't the wheel bearing. The movement also reduces slightly when the brakes are applied. To get rid of the play, do you...

When going round tight bends and corners Im getting a rumble from the back of my 88". Prop shaft has no play, neither do wheel bearings and wheel nuts are tight. There is slight play in the swivel on drivers side where preload needs adjusting now the new bearing has bed in. I assumed it was...

Got an issue with air getting in the fuel system but only when the vehicles parked facing uphill. Will fire up straight away and will run on the fuel in the injector pipes for a few seconds and then will die. However when jump leads are connected to another car and the engine turned over...

Someone on facebook has an interesting problem. New shoes and drums and adjusters (nothing britpart) but cant adjust the shoes so that they lock up. However when he puts a sleeve over the adjuster post to bring the shoes closer to the drum it all works fine. Master cylinder he says has been...

Getting the injector washers out and found in cylinder 4 that the injector was missing the steel washer (did t touch these last time) and found this. Do i need a new head?

Basically are they the same unit? My friend has a superwinch overdrive which needs new bearings and is wondering if they are the same as the earlier Fairey model
