There was a post on here some time ago, I think from Gavbriggs relating to this. Try a search or you can Google "LR Series" I am sure they sell them singly.

No, I don't think so !!!
The torque setting for the rocker shaft "Post" bolts is not that high and they are not Stretch type.
I think LR Series are based in Lancashire.
If you are REALLY stuck, you could try a local breakers I suppose to get you out of the ****e and back on the road.

Right On Wammers, agree 100%. Finding a good fastener supplier if you are not in the know can be daunting to say the least.
Deosn't matter if it's a hexagon or allen screw head as long as the thread, length and tensile strength is the same.
As usual, people think that all bolts, bulbs, wiper blades etc. are made by Land Rover !!!
Nah..Land Rover pay pennies and charge pounds for them. What has happened to good old engineering expertise and thinking ??

I cant believe you nearly risked secret britpart parts again
Again, I did go for the cheap option although I assume I'm safe with a bolt lol.
Check the sig

I like the sig, has it stayed fixed??
I went laning today after all the rain we have had this week, man what proper range rover can do- I was amazed and I didnt get stuck once
Half and half mate. Taps (tappet tap) on startup in the morning and stays tappety for a few mins. Haven't changed the oil yet but it does have a tin of Wynns oil additive in there which doesn't appear to have made the slightest bit of difference.
A V8 classic came past me tonight while I was in my truck, sweet as a nut and not a noise except road noise from the tyres. Thats what I want mine to be like

Think I used Island during my rebuild and got ****part bits (ebay ads, manufacturer wasn't listed).
If a company that sells Britpart parts willingly also sell parts listed as 'quality aftermarket', should they really be trusted.
Just to enlighten you Gav, I've had no end of problems because I used cheap (Britpart) items on my rebuild and its virtually all have to be redone with proper stuff.
Is that because they were Britpart or because you did not follow the correct procedure. **** thin oil in an old engine and lack of proper lubrication on assembly for example, did not give your new lifters much of a chance did it?

EP90 for the cam and 15/40 in the sump, the thickest recommended by the manufacturer. I couldn't have given it a much better shot except use moly slip or similar on the cam although EP90 would have been enough.
Lifters sticking in (3 of em, 4 weeks apart). That my fault too? ****part!

Sorry thought there was a discussion when you first did job where you stated you were using 10W30 and asked if it was thick enough. Fitting new cams is a straight forward job most of the time but just sometimes no matter what you do they can give you problems. Using **** thin oil in an old engine is not the best way of getting the good oil pressure required by the new lifters to expand and settle in. Also they need to be copiously coated with a good lub so they can spin and bed in otherwise you can destroy both the lifters and cam in a few seconds.
