Was it a Perkins? I think they're bigger than standard

It is polite to introduce yourself in the intro. section before asking questions.
The engine is probably a Perkins 4/203 diesel. The 203 is the capacity in cubic inches, which is about 3300cc.

I know that theres a restoration type guy in thirsk call john brown landrovers I think, but anywhere like famous four or lr series should be helpful, also im sure someone can point you in the dierection or the parts catalogue

I've been to John Brown before and seen some of the repair work done!

One of the slam panels he had repaired was at least 20% body filler along with a bulkhead corner

Plenty of places do mail order, just check out the ad's in any land rover magazine. As for the steering they are not exactly precise at the best of times!

With swivels and all the other steering parts set up it should steer well. However you have to get used to the Land Rover feel, just look at the springs and all the other moving parts it is never going to be a tight ship.

Have a look at the link below - it's a write-up I did a while back for my website on LR Series steering and how to figure out what's gone bad on you.
