    Removable board between rear wheel arches

    Ah thanks thats good to know. Yes that makes sense. The less movement the better. I have inward facing bench seats in the back and I don't want to lose that seating capacity. My wife and I like to go camping with our dog and sometimes we meet freinds or family at the site and its really great...

    Rear storage box

    I actually just use a canvas hold all that fits quite neatly behind the bulkhead or on top of one the wheel arches, I then just bungee it to hold it place. It worked better for me because I realised when I needed it I could just lift the whole thing down rather than climbing in out or trying to...

    Removable board between rear wheel arches

    Morning all, I want to put a board or set of boards between the wheel arches in my 90. I know its been discussed a number of times, its pretty straightforward job. Most of what I have seen has been the boards covering the entire width and just sits on the wheel arches. Or angle iron on the...

    huh, I didn't even think about that, but yeah I guess so! maybe it's left in from the instructions on the Series model?

    Yes, comparable quality to OME I would say. Fits very well. It does say when fitting if everything doesn't line up then you need to adjust your engine mounts. Thankfully mine was good!

    Sure thing, that's with it in the engaged position, while I was testing in the garage. When disengaged its pulled down towards the center/cubby box. Its all very neat. Nothing interferes, and you can operate all your gear sticks with any of them in any position. Driving wise, it's a bit of...

    issue fitting a Romerdrive to 300TDI

    So it took me 3 x 4hrs sessions I would say. It is cold at the moment, which things slower some how. The instructions said a typical installation should take 3hrs. Having done it now, 3hrs is realistic if you don't have any issues and have done it before, I think. The difficulty with the...

    okay, so I have done some digging. I do have a 1:1.4 ratio gear set thankfully. basically, you need to find your transfer box serial number. I found mine on the left of the transfer box just above the oil slump cover, under what I suspect to be a combination of road grim, half the Salisbury...

    okay, that's interesting. oh no that sounds like a nightmare! I really appreciate the offer but If I don't get it sorted by Wednesday she will sit in the garage until I can get back down to my folks, unfortunately. I was based in Bicester, but I sold my house and moved to North Yorkshire, we...

    no just 6 bolts, it looks identical to the one in your picture, other than the at 6'oclock position. my Landy is Ex-military. but as far as I understood the transmission doesn't have any differences compared to the civilian model. the part catalogue doesn't seem to state anything differently. I...

    okay, that's a bit concerning then. as far as I know, I have a standard transfer box. it does have a bearing, you can see it when looking in, but there is no lateral movement and it turns very smothly.

    yes, it looked like that, but mine had six-bolt heads, it doesn't have what looks like a threaded rod with a nut on it at the 6'oclock position though, like in your picture.

    That's the rear, behind the pto cover. Next to the drum brake. That gear is supposed to be removable. I know alot of people have successful fitted these roamerdrives so there must be something I am missing.
