Either do it as JM suggests, or if you're averse to that - perhaps just turn the steering wheel until you're happy with the toe in on the near side, then use the track rod to adjust the off side. (The near side staying put, as it's 'held in place' by the drag link)

Thanks @Stanleysteamer - but I have managed to get a set from Heathy on the D2 forum.

The figures I posted above, whilst from a 2a (Maybe 7 years older than yours?) show a tow limit for a diesel of 1497Kg. (I presume as it's in official LandRover information it's true.) You're talking about DOUBLE that.
What does the VIN plate actually show for the MGTW ? If it's anything less...

BTW when I bought a Super Major - I had it brought home on a low loader - very easy and not terribly expensive!

HERE's the page......:oops:

Here's a page from a 1969 2a LandRover Information manual that seems to show you're a LONG way off being sensible.
I'd also not attempt it - I know my 2a (Petrol) would wheeze a bit loaded with 2 horses in a trailer. And the brakes - well that was another 'exciting' part of the journey.
Fordson...

Weird - I have such a sense of deja vu here.
Have you joined before ? Or The D2 site maybe?
Anyways - welcome- it's great to have another local(ish) person on board

Presumably it has had the steering stops adjusted for larger tyres to stop them fouling the chassis rails.
They are two bolt type things on the front of the hubs that can be altered, if your tyres allow.
I replaced mine with a nut and bolt combination to allow adjustments

OK. let me know if you want to borrow it.
I work in Bath, and have a colleague who lives in Trowbridge and he MAY be able to assist with transport, but I'm not back to work until Wednesday or Thursday.

OK.....Well Wiltshire is a fairly large place. Is where you live a secret??
If you want to borrow the multiplier, you're welcome, (It makes it pi$$ easy) but without knowing how far away you are...

Torque multiplier, or heavy duty Impact wrench (I now have both!!)
It amazed me how easily it took mine off after I'd snapped a 3/4 breaker bar.
Whereabouts are you?

Brake & Clutch cleaner has been working really well for me in a little hand spray bottle. You can see the oil dripping off without even agitating it.
Order a 5l tin, and it's not too expensive, but also doesn't need water.

Westerleigh- just north of Bristol and south of Gloucester and Stroud.
But I still think of it as being southwest.

Unless I've missed it when reading your ad.... are you talking hundreds of pounds for this - or thousands given what some are going for at the moment??
