Recently bought a Fairey Overdrive off of eBay and noticed the linkage comes through the seat box, I however want my linkage to come through the transmission tunnel, any clues as to why the unit is currently configured this way and what I need to do / purchase to have my overdrive lever coming...

Brilliant, thank you!

I’ll take a look when back off my holiday, she’s due a service so I’ll grease everything up and clean thoroughly at service

Full metal throttle linkage - no cable sadly + you could balance a 50pence piece on that engine whilst she runs, super smooth

Worse in 1st & 2nd but happens in all gears, she’s a 2.25 petrol

How would I go about testing for this?

She had new props with new UJ’s 500 miles ago, will definitely check props but anything else spring to mind?

In my 1972 series III whenever the gearbox is in gear and engine at idle the vehicle consistently jerks forwards over and over instead of smoothly providing drive. It does this in both high and low range meaning my foot has to be on the throttle at all times when driving on or off road. Could...

I heard the adjustable rod is only present on earlier Series Land Rovers? My Series 3 never had one when purchased, is this something I should have?

Based on what you have said the plan I have formulated is this: Disconnect hydraulic lines connected to pedal boxes and disconnect the throttle linkage. Disconnect the steering box from the steering relay. Completely unbolt the bulkhead. Fit the doors. Wrangle the bulkhead into a position...

There is no roof right now but I believe it was on in the pictures. Is there a way to lift the front of the tub? I was always of the opinion that the tub was completely fixed?

So the side panel gaps shouldn’t effect the door closure from what you’re saying? I think the bit I’m confused by is how it all went together so nicely with bottom half doors and just tub and bulkhead, but with the top half doors and side panels it now doesn’t fit. I’d have thought if it worked...

So before I get into this, it’s worth knowing what I’m working with, I have a 1972 2.25L Petrol Series 3 88”. I have put this vehicle on a new galvanised Chassis from Marsland, and a new galvanised Bulkhead from Shielder. My struggle is with aligning the body of my vehicle, having spent quite...

Just changed my diff oil following replacing my rear brake discs using my extension bar, nice once, worked perfectly, thanks!

I didn't even know there was one! I'm not particularly good with all this internet stuff haha. Cheers

So I need to top up the diff oil in our 2012 2.2L Defender 90 but don’t have the correct socket for removing the differential fill plug in order to do so, could anyone tell me what socket I need? Cheers.

In that case I will order the seals today, thank you.

Nearly all motorway miles, never anything off the road which is why I thought I would probably be okay not replacing seals, but what do you think?

This Defender is fairly low mileage, the brake discs aren't at a stage where they need, doing, more a case that it would be more convenient to do them now whilst I have the time than in a month or two when it needs doing, so really I am in to just get the discs done and as little mess as...
