    Bargain gearbox

    I've had my replacement transferbox sat on the bench for 4 months waiting for me to get off my arse and fit it (snapped the rear output shaft on the one that's in!)only problem is the gearbox needs attention too.So, just by chance a friend of mine said he had an 'old' box at the back of the shed...

    B&B near strata florida?

    Or if you want to be literally 1/2 a mile from the start of strata you could stay here,its a bit basic and you will need to bring your own food and drink but its cheap,warm and dry (it has a log fire to curl up in front of):D Elenydd Wilderness Hostels / Hosteli Unigeddau'r Elenydd this...

    3.5V8 converted series IIa, can you identify this starter motor?

    The one you want is a rangerover one,like jai said, as the solenoid is on the side not the bottom. I had the one like you've got with the solenoid at the bottom and the prop kept hitting it and snapping it off! All v8 starters mount the same(I think) but you need to make sure the gear has the...

    Series 3 stage 1 300tdi conversion?

    Series 3 stage 1 300tdi conversion?

    This is the problem you see,i don't particularly like diesels but wouldn't want to run a stage one with a v8 as a daily driver. I don't really want to rip the V8 out of a rare landy either but it is being offered to me for next to nothing,on the condition that i restore it and use it for myself...

    Series 3 stage 1 300tdi conversion?

    I've always fancied a s3 109 station wagon as a daily driver but never got round to buying one. So,due to my disco falling apart around me the plan is to run it till the mot runs out next year and then transplant the engine and box and possibly axles on to a 109 station wagon. Now, a good friend...

    Series 3 88 parabolic probs!!

    You won't be dissapointed,mine have been on for nearly 10 years and are still going strong!

    Wheels on my S3

    Don't go any bigger or wider than 235/85/16 and fit lwb rims or modular rims then the tyres won't rub on the springs. I have 265/75/16's on modular rims on mine and its a bastard to park due to the wide tyres making the steering heavy.

    Su carbs, need specialist in yorkshire

    There used to be a landrover place down saville town in the old units just past the vets on the right but it might not be there anymore as its 9 years since I lived in Dewsbury. Have you tried simmonites in Bradford?

    Sluggish disco.........not any more!

    The diaphragm is shaped like a cam at the bottom of it where it touches the fuel pin so if you go too far it will go past the high point and start backing it off having the opposite effect,just make sure you've not gone too far.

    Is there a difference between ordinary leaf springs and barabolic?

    Nothing wrong with a good set of standard springs but they do need servicing once a year to stop them from seizing.Get a good set of parabolics and you won't ever want to go back to standard,they are a lot softer ride and don't need any maintainence at all but you get what you pay for so which...
