Thanks for your help, i understand now.

That's what i'm doing now. Craddocks is a great website and i will of course, listen to those who know - i will leave the Webber and use a recon / new zenith carb. To keep the vehicle as it is is actually the way i prefer to work as it's already designed and fitted, just needs recondition...

I have seen these and want to know if using these will cause any problems? If the ride hieght is increased, will that mean longer shock absorbers etc? Is it recommended the FFR use these and do they have them on anyway? Is there any other parts that will need to be specific for this? Sorry...

Thanks Teflon. I really only asked to learn what and how, so now i've found the relevant section in the manual, i'm learning a lot. Thanks

Is it the 'Swivel Housing'? Am i there yet? I have a diagram of the front axle and steering / hub assembly. Iis it the inner, ball shaped thing with a pin through it?

Yes, i have a PDF version i was e-mailed. Is it ball joints? I'm not trying to sound thick, even though it probably does. Sorry.

This time you have me at a loss. What am i trying to fool anyone with? No confrontation meant here, i'm being honest i am just asking to learn. I have to take this thing apart and make something like a reasonable job of putting it back together again. It was just a question, that's all. Phil

Would someone please tell me what chrome balls are? I can imagine they might be steering or something but i confess i do not know for sure. Is it ball bearings?

Thanks, I'm not a serving soldier, i'm the child of one and grew up alongside the REME. I do know of a few places where i might get parts though and your idea is still valid so thanks for suggesting it. It's interesting to know the S II was only phased out just not long ago. I will post here...

Teflon, That's exactly the kind of helpful advice i need as a beginner with Land Rovers. Thanks for taking the time to type so much. Phil.

I have sent a PM with my details and would be most grateful for a copy. thanks loads, Phil.

Thanks very much for the offer but i'm sticking with what i have. I'm really happy about keeping it original but if i hear of someone who can use an engine such as yours, i will put them in touch with you. Thanks again.

Thanks for that, As i said, i'm happy about the engine being good enough to keep. The webber carb is something i would like to try, the springs i thank you for the link, i will use them. THe winch, well you answer does not suprise me and i do want the biggest i can get so i will try to price...

That's what i was hoping. I didn't want to change it. Is there any chance a 'Weber Carb' is any good? There is one on ebay for £75. Slob, thanks for the advice, can i ask a few more questions of you, or anyone else that might know? Mine has the exhaust under the front bumper. I like it...

Hello, I'm trying to work out what engine to use. It's a 1970, 2a 109 2 door hard top and it's going to be a works vehicle, picking up reasonably heavy loads and occasional towing, almost entirely on tarmac. If the 2.25 petrol isn't up to this, what engine can i / should i use and what...
