Hi guru of parts!!

I have put a salisbury axle on my 90 and it requires new brake shoes. Do I need to order stc359 or stc2797?

Thank you

Hi, So i sent my disco in to have the clutch pack A done as suggested on here to a recommended transmission place. When they stripped it down they said it wasnt clutch pack A but something else so i agreed to have it done and when i got it back, my gear selection was totally wrong. It revs upto just over 4000 revs before selecting the next gear and then does some silly 3000 to 2500 to 3000 revs when selecting the next gear again. It now feels like im loosing reverse too
I rang the garage and they offered a refund but not to repair the issue, they only offered a full recon of the gearbox but unfortunately i can not afford this.
Does anybody have any idea whats gone so wrong here

Yes it seems strange that the two exist, I wonder if the 2.25 is non original, its only got 35K on the clock having been parked since 1987. The rest of it is in very good mechanical condition suggesting the mileage could be correct. The block has '49' stencilled in white on the side of it, my camera battery died before I could get a snap!

Hi Jamesmartin,
I am told by Crashbox that you are the oracle when it come to Series 2 history! I have a 1959 Series 2 SWB registered on 01/12/1959 as WJF 22 now 831 UXE. Chassis number 141000988. It has the electric regulator and fuel pump mounted on the bulkhead which feeds the Solex carb. However it has a 2.25 petrol number 151007889 and the mechanical pump is not connected. Is this likely to be the original engine or has it been replaced do you think?
Thanks very much for your help
Charles

Hi James, I posted a thread regarding my front diff and someone pointed me in your direction as apparently you recon them at a reasonable price, my diff isn't leaking as yet but there is a little lift up and down and you can turn the prop from about 10.00oclock to 14.00oclock. If interested could you give me a rough idea of how much it would cost or any ideas.

Thanks
Michael
