    What axles for Series 1 86"?

    Evening! I'm after new axles for a series 1 86", the current rear one is a 'semi-floating' type and wanted something more like a later series axle or defender. It has a modded 3.5 V8 so after something a little beefed up... it has LT77/230 (5speed) boxes in, so ratios aren't too crucial...

    Lightweight won't turn off!!

    I have a Land rover series 3 lightweight, runs very well, however today it didn't want to turn off. It took me at least 30 minutes of endless switch-fiddling and combinations for it to turn off, I think lights off, battery removed and key removed stopped it in the end! Not too sure! You can...
