Pos.. Is my advice right for a TD5?? I too am slightly lost with the foot thing? Have an assistant rock the wheel back and forth whilst you hold the lever in the diff lock position, lack of use could make it a bugger to engage but very unlikly. Once it seems to be in release the lever and try...

How rude of me.... Welcome to the forum.. Lee

I think the seats you can get from exmoor trim? can come fitted with a self contained seat belt kit. I believe you just mount them to the top of the wheel arches and should come with spreader bar kit to make them firm and secure.. Lee

Im more old school landrovers but your welcome to try this out..I think it will still work. Jack up one front wheel just so its clear of the ground. with the hand brake on, in neautral with the diff lock OUT the wheel should rotate. Now put the diff lock IN and the wheel will still move but...

what gearbox is it...diesel is different to v8.. Lee

A 110 would suit the job fine, if you buy a van version you could fit some forward facing single seats to accomodate extra pax if needed. They are always for sale from shops in the landy mags. these can fold up when not in use, the only concern would be if the bikes where too tall for the rear...

Totaly off the thread, does your friend do much container work between blighty and aussie land and back?, there are always loads of series 1 parts and vehicles on ebay.au that i wish i could import. Back to the tyres, 750x16 prices vary depending on what you want. I like goodyear's but not the...

Which daihatsu lump are you running? is it def a 2.5 (inline fuel injection pump) or 2.8 (rotary fuel injection pump). There is a breather that runs down the sider of block for excessive crank case compression, causes could be worn bores or maybe a failed head gasket. Head gasket failures are...

The old series 3's we had in the army used to struggle with the emmisions as they stood at tick over for ages. A quick fix to the problem and to give it a bit of a combustion chamber clean was to run at a high tickover and pour small amounts of brake fluid down the carb choke, whilst pouring...

sounds to me that you own a standard series diesel land rover, you'll soon be juddering and shaking in time with the vehicle and wont notice these normal sounds and feelings... just like all the other series owners. on a seriour note, when you switch off is it the engine banging or the...

had the same prob with my 300tdi. changed batts and tried to reprogramme. luckily still had the spare that worked but have had to bite the bullet and renew the duff one. still waiting for the new one to turn up (Dodgy Dad contact?) and then have to get it done by a landy dealer to get it...

pop the wheels off and check the condition of the brake pads.. with age and use they can go brittle and lose their effectivness. check the disc's for excessive wear or pitting and grooves. when was the brake fluid last changed, should be changed regulary as again with age it gets contaminated...

What is your steering relay condition like?? If you get someone to rock the steering wheel left and right, look thru the grille or from under the bumper and see if the relay is not moving backwards, forwards or sideways.

i will check the special tools at work to see if there is a tool for the job. as we still have old 110's with the salisbury diff i will see if there is any info on changing this item in my technical libruary.

What is the problem? wont it go in. does it only got in so far? Dont quote me, but to fit a salisbury diff you need to spread the diff casing with some special tools? i think? Some one will hopefully confirm or deny it, there are two holes in the casing that are jacked apart?? Lee

Can the same fine tuning be done to the turbo version? Lee

Where can i get a CAT bypass pipe? Who stocks them or are they a DIY item.. need to improve the 25 mpg!!

Whilst using the link that was supplied, would it be possible to change the rear crank seal as mine has a slight weep? Or would that be a box out completly. Cheers Lee

Damn... Beaten to the post by a fellow 80" owner, i am running both an 80(1952)and 88(1956) series 1's and cant disclose the milage as i may void my insurance, honest it 5'000 miles a year or less? Lee

Can anyone advise the tube internal diameter for the front spring pivot bush in the chassis. Having to replace them on my chassis and know i can measure the new bush but there must be a certain amount of interference fit? Cheers Lee
