    Clutch assistance spring causes bad bite point

    The bolt is not an adjustment bolt it's the pedal stop bolt. The clutch pedal height given by Land Rover is 140mm. This guide figure ensures that the clutch isn't dragging as yours was when you couldnt select reverse and also ensures that it doesn't slip under load. I suspect that you'll find...

    Strata Flora TRO

    Hey James, long time chap ! I don't think any of us get out as much as we'd like to these days ! Mo

    Speedo out.

    Certainly does sound like you have a duff speedo Windy Mo

    Speedo out.

    If you want your speedo accurate with a blue gear then fit 255 tyres. On 235s it will over read by about 5 mph at motorway speeds as that is what's required of the manufacturers. If you fit the yellow or red, your speedo will be even further out. Mo

    Strata Flora TRO

    Its a temporary TRO for repairs ! It's more of a good thing than bad! If people stayed on the ROW, they probably wouldn't have to repair the culverts and damage. Mo

    Lt 77 ratios

    @tottot, my poor phrasing, the LT77S introduced for the 200 tdi on until the introduction of the R380 with the 300, suffix G and H had a slightly higher 5th gear ratio. Mo

    Front Brake Caliper refurbishment on my TD5

    Press the outer rings into the caliper with a bit of flat plate and the vice. Once I tried it I had 100% success rate unlike trying to tap them in with a hammer ! Mo

    Bonnet alignment

    The hooks are actually quite soft to bend but not with a hammer . I had much better success with the slot in the hook of my crowbar. Put the slot over the edge of the bulkhead hook and using the leverage of the bar it rolled back into shape easily. HTH Mo Edit bloody formatting !

    Gearbox cross member fitting

    A high lift jack works nicely if the body is off. If you don't have one, a mate will usually have one collecting dust in the garage that you can borrow. HTH Mo

    Are Puma seats better than TD5 ones?

    Land Rover seats are the most comfortable I've ever sat in, like the others have said even after 2 week trips away and several thousand miles I've never been uncomfortable ! Perhaps it's a build/height thing ? I'm 5'8'', broadly built, short legged and long body and I've used Mud rails for the...

    Wolf wheels best way to paint.

    To avoid removing the tyre completely I assume you could use a high lift to push the tyre away from the bead ? Paint it and then reinflate? Mo

    Not started yet capo, took it off the road last weekend to lay it up for the conversion probably in July. I just need a few more bits from Mr. Ashcroft and I'll have everything ready. When will you get yours back? Mo

    No engine conversion ever goes as planned capo, it's their nature Good info on the cowl though, may need to go down the bespoke route. Mo
