Here in the states most use Redline MTL in the R380, based on Land Rover's TSB, which similar to the Rover MTR. Red Line Synthetic Oil - Gear Oil for Manual Transmissions - MTL 70W80 GL-4 Gear Oil No idea if this brand is available in the UK, but I believe the Texaco version is. Personally I've...

Doh!

Those are pretty rare in unmolested form if memory serves, particularly in that good shape. I'll be the odd man out, I'd have left it as a 4x2.

Optima always had a good reputation, but some years back they sold out to Johnson Controls and the manufacturing was moved to Mexico. Since then there are a lot or reports about failures/short lifespan. I had really good luck with Exide Orbital AGM's. Odyssey (made by Enersys) are very well...

Have you checked to make sure there isn't a cat in the there as well?

Just reversing the entire wheel is not safe, as mentioned. The reason is that there is a raised bit formed in to the wheel that deforms when you tighten down the lug nuts to keep them tight. Sort of like a lock washer effect. If you reverse them that effect doesn't happen.

Anyone know the thread pitch of the hub carrier to steering knuckle bolt, PN FC112177P? I know it's 12mm x 85mm, but I need to know the pitch and I don't have one to measure. Cheers.

LUCAS/CAV calls it the "head". Land Rover doesn't list it separate from the filter, so I guess they get away without calling it anything. ;) If you're needing to get the whole thing, I highly recommend Racor units. They are excellent filters. They are available with heaters & water alarms...

- Axle plate is fine for jack stand, but really most anywhere on the axle tube is fine. Just not on the swivel balls. - In addition to the mainshaft nut, a weak detent spring on the selector shaft can contribute to it also. Though from your description I'd look at the mainshaft nut first. - When...

Well, I need to order these Monday or Tuesday, and now can't remember who I got them from before. Anyone have lead on who has the best price on the Corteco brand hub seal?

My Wolf's are tubeless and are clearly stamped "Tubeless". The PN will identify for sure. I've never seen 15" Wolf wheels. Any chance of you posting the PN? I'm trying to collect L/R wheel part numbers.

Umm..yeah. From my first post

Sorry, I don't have a spare. Couldn't reisist ;)

This? Referenced in the link in my first reply, if that's what you mean. Of the parts that go between the valve spring and the rocker, those are all I see.

ETC4068?

ETC4069 if this is what you're looking for Or are you looking for this? http://www.lrseries.com/shop/product/listing/7538/97/7/LJC100270-VALVE-STEM-CAP.html

Right, I've been using them for a few years, but I'm out and need to get some more, was just wondering if I should stick with them, or was there a better (or just as good for less) brand.

My wife is in the UK visiting family and I thought I'd have her bring a few bits. One thing I need are RTC3511 hub seals to fit my D90 and D1's (I know the D1 specs a different seal). Are CORTECO about the best for the price (which seems about 2x Allmakes price)? Who has the best price on them...

"180A continuously - sufficient for the heavyest winching" Must be running an ATV winch. Looking at the description I think you can do a better setup to achieve the same thing buying the components yourself. I haven't seen higher than 200amp continuous solenoids, but I'm sure higher...

Cool. My dad and I used to go do that when I was a kid, always pulling people out. This was in the 60's, so no fancy tow straps. I can't believe we didn't wreck someone's car with the chain we used.
