Ooo ahhh Ooo Looks decent 👍

Hi all, I recently broke a tooth off of my intermediate gear in my gearbox. Luckily I had a spare gearbox lying around so i took the gear from that one. Though; they are slightly different. Anyone know if its ok to interchange these two? It...

No worries, no harm done. Thank you for your responses. Where does the part go exactly? I have had a brief look but wasn't 100% Is it on the RHS of the tailgate itself?

Heads are back today. Cleaned up nicely, threads helicoiled, and broken exhaust bolts removed. Before the heads go back on -do any of you use additional gasket/sealant in any places on the heads? Thanks

Hi and welcome from me :vb-wavey:

Hi. Did you get anywhere with this problem. Mine is same but also have a battery warning light on the Dash. Friend gave me the car with various issues. All sorted except these two things. Are they maybe interrelated? Battery charging fine...

Hi. I’m Tim. Live in UK and France. Had a variety of Landrovers over the years. Current one is a Freelander 2. Hope I have the right place to introduce myself.

I went for a bit of a drive with a friend this morning and got it warm. Went back to the garage and got it level (previously it was a bit nose up) and warm (previously I think it was cold) and I had to add a whole litre of ATF before it started...

No will do next week. Mine starting doing this after I did some stuff to the car and disconnected the battery a few times. I’ll let you know if it worked or not!

Not yet! Did you? I'm worried I'll lose access to my CD player if i disconnect the battery.

bearing is usually different, G one has Rubber ending while the cheap sh*t has metal shield which allows dirt in a lot more easily

Did you try the calibration?

I just presumed it did as it went into both high & low. How should I of checked it was fully functioning ? I orignally had a problem with my transfer box so found one with cdl & fitted it.

I've got a hashtagMeToo, Since I've had the vehicle (nearly a year), the rear wash/wipe doesn't respond and the cab rear window up/down doesn't do anything, but the rear window obliges for opening and closing the taildoor, like it should. I...

Sorry Straight 6 , 1970 model

:vb-wavey:watcha got?

😂 I don't have any interior pics but I'll grab some tonight.

Warm welcome!

Good Afternoon.... Welcome to the club.......

failed to search on "tailgate" - thanks for sharing! Seems calibration is the trick

Yes, we have a longish flexi from the end of the fixed piping from the tank to the inlet of the pump. I will find a place to insert a filter..... in due course. Now the smell of petrol is resolved I am looking to install a thermostat as the...

You're probably right Early cars were 4.5 gallons then the tank was made bigger for the 1275 GT mid seventies, I think all Minis got bigger tank a few years later :)

You might be right, the book says for a 1275 the tank holds 33ltrs and at 4.54l/G that's 7.2 Gallons.

Hello everyone, I'm a newbie. I'm glad to be here.

Straight 6? They are 2.6ltr. If it's a 4 cylinder it's a 2.25.

any zebra stripe is fine but it must have the right height. the one he had was long and high, I cut it with a long cutter blade, with a single stroke like a guillotine, if I remember correctly I found the right setting with 7mm of height.

I will ask them so maybe they don't. Maybe that will just apply to newer engines. Thanks.

Nice n sunny today, still a chilly wind. Working outside which is nice. :)

Did some searching on other forums and may have found an answer… crack on the underside of the reservoir tank … had the exact same location of leakage and for about the same period of time driving to get it hot. Must’ve caused it to start...

20L apparently someone filled up his jerry can with water & someone else poured it into his motor.
