Anybody of you leaf sprung guys up for a run out on the 13th April? SI Club, SII Club, OLLR guys meeting at the Rheged Centre at 09:30 We have a few lanes earmarked, but happy to evolve plans on the day if someone has a better idea (I’ve only ever done the Old Coach Road, so probably not the...

Has anyone experienced this brake problem before, as I’m stuck??? Just can’t clear a spongy brake pedal? Father-in-Laws series II, was still running it’s original 10” brakes all round, but had a servo and dual circuit master cylinder fitted from a late series III six or seven years ago. (no...

Hi Oversteer, Many thanks for your reply, your right. Sticking with the standard series rad. as I've fitted a defender steering box in place of the steering idler, (and with a bit of machining, joint the series and defender columns so I can keep my original steering wheel,) it was just easier...

For anyone who's interested, the answer's here:- YouTube- Land Rover 200tdi & 300tdi oil filter housing and oil temperature thermostat

Do you know how the oil is distributed to the oil cooler on a tdi engine? What is the valve thingy in the top of the oil filter housing? Does the oil always circulate through the cooler, being initially warmed by the coolant water , then, cooled by the coolant water? Or Does the valve...

Many thanks for your replies, Jackaul_NZ, I might end up sticking with the standard 10 spline diffs, everyone I’ve spoken to has said, by fitting stronger halfshafts, you’ll only move the problem to the next weakest link which is the diff itself, and it’s easier to carry halfshafts as spares...

I’ve just been told that the last of the Range Rover Classics, fitted with ABS, had 24 spline diffs (3.54:1 ratio)? Does anybody know if I could fit one of these into my standard series axle tube, then fit series Salisbury halfshafts and drive flanges? This sounds the perfect solution to...

Many thanks for your help My thoughts had been to purchase an early 110 axle, then swap the diff/input shaft into the narrower series axle, basically making my own stage one axle (3.54:1) at a fraction of the cost of a stage one axle? My thoughts for not just “buying” a stage one axle, is that...

Help needed on a decision for my 200Tdi engined ’59 SWB, (has turbo and intercooler) Backgraound:- My SWB is used for mainly road work, running Michelin X tyres, it’s a regular at pony club events towing a horse box, any off-roading is generally light field work, towing a topper/roller etc...

With the fuel filter in the normal position, the lift pump sucks diesel from the tank, blows it up to the filter on the bulkhead, then it runs back down to the main injector pump, OK, but I'd like to move the fuel filter under the floor (due to a twin tank conversion, I was thinking of a filter...

Just an Idea... I had a car which would run for a few miles, then conk out, sit for a few minutes, then off it would go again for a few miles, couldn't find anything wrong, then an old bloke told me to try running with the diesel cap off? Never missed a beat?? turns out, the breather in the...

Ok, problems with gearing in my SII 200TDi conversion (subject of comments on the thread "PTO take offs"), I've just had the very nice girl from Ashcroft's phone me up to say they've a high ratio transfer gear kit in stock @ £255 + vat and carriage, brilliant....but, I've already bought a Fairey...
