im currently in the process of putting my front end back on after rebuilding the engine and noticed the rad had some crud in it. Since changing the engine to a V8 I thought I should re assess the rad situation and I’m at a loss with trying to work out how many cores it has etc. However, I have...

Hi all. I’ve been rebuilding my engine and yesterday was supposed to be the big day to see if it would start... it didn’t.. I was gutted. Through a bit of testing it seem the ignition module is fubared. I have the 2 spade connector type on there. A friend had a spare, but it is the 3 pin...

Thanks. I have them pipes and the flame traps, but it still leaves one on each free, and I have no idea where they go :(

I’m currently in the process of putting my series 2 back on the road, but giving it a spruce up in the process. Approximately 6 years ago everything was raking off and the chassis was checked, and then painted in red oxide and standard black ?metal paint. Whilst I’m rolling around underneath it...

Hi guys and gals. I’m currently rebuilding the V8 for my series and was wondering if anybody could shed some light on where the red highlighted outlets go, are they a vacuum of sorts? I lost have highlighted a blocked off pipe in blue, is that ok like that? Many thanks for any help

I’m in the process of rebuilding my 3.5 atm and I too have had to replace the cam, followers, etc. Under advisement I went for the 3.9efi cam. Sadly it’s not running just yet, so I can’t vouch if it’s that different

It doesn’t matter how hard I look rob, I just cannot find a capstan! Haha

Very true. I saw NOS ones today for £299!?

I could just be being tight! Haha

I saw a set go on eBay the other day sell for £100. Why would someone pay that?

whilst sifting through my buckets of bits today, I was quite chuffed to come across these little gems! I believe they’re quite sort after bits of kit.

CHeers for all the info guys. I’m glad I’m not the only one who suffers! I did see the deluxe seats and thought they looked quite comfy. As for defender seats though, they’re so bloody expensive!

hi all I was just wondering what seats everyone puts in there series land rovers? I have a series 2a that I intend on putting back on the road that has the old school cushion seat pads, and they’re not exactly comfortable! I also have the challenging factor that I am 6.3...so space is a...

Yes, it is me again! Haha. I’m just trying to work out what I need before my engine goes back together and nothing seems ‘generic’. I know my original engine is from a 71 RRC. But I think the timing case and water pump look different to what the manual says. Am I right in thinking this is...

Thank you gents! If only I had asked sooner, I wouldn’t have spent so bloody long looking! Haha

Oh really. You hunk that’d be ok?

ive been trying to search for a new head bolt set but I only come across the newer 10 bolt per head sets. Anyone else had this issue?

I’ve decided that rover must’ve got it right when they did this engine... I’m going with tin (under the advice of V8 tuner)

hi all I am looking at gasket sets for my V8 and I’m slightly confuffled! Composite or tin? It’s a 1972 low compression, ?8.25 / 1 V8 from a classic. What’s people’s thoughts on the best to use. Many thanks

Id much prefer the idea of welding a washer and nut on purple my, but because it is shy of the top by about 1-2mm I didn’t think it’d be an option, because there’s nothing to prevent it welding to the block too?
