Hello, I am after some advice on a steering problem. My vehicle has a 3bolt steering box with power steering. It has an inconsistent feel to the steering weight. When you start to steer it is heavy, then as I apply more lock it goes light with PAS assistance, but then can go heavy again as...

Hello. I have the seat belt mounting tubes which go inside the back. However seats were not supplied with tubes for under wheel arch so thanks for pointing that out. Images on internet are not clear. Is it just 1 bar per side under the wheel arch or is it an assembly?.

Hello, I have purchased 4 inward facing rear seats for my 1984 land rover 90. They are genuine Land Rover parts (2nd hand). Is there information anywhere on the forum or internet on where to drill the holes to mount the seat base, seat back and seat belt rail?. Any help much appreciated. Regards...

Ok thanks - there appear to be 4 bolts through the chassis rail to the box - Silly question but does this mean it is a 4 bolt?. There is a male conical part in the port in the box that mates with a female conical part on the old hose. It looks like an olive to me and new hose has one pressed...

Hello, My vehicle is a 1984 land rover 90 2.5D N/A with power steering. I am replacing a leaking power steering hose between the power steering pump and steering box. It is the high pressure supply hose. The fitting into the steering box appears to have a compression olive which is stuck in...

Ok thanks for all your good advice. Sounds like mine should have a drain as topping it up with EP90. Don't think axles have been changed. It is all original and in standard form. Thanks again CSB167

Hello, Is it possible to simply drain all of the oil out of the front axle swivels (with a drain plug for example) - looked but nothing obvious on vehicle. Vehicle is a 1984 land rover 90 2.5d n/a. Topped up at weekend. Nearside needed a small amount of oil but offside was already...

Ok thanks for advice. Did go over head bolts twice when it was fitted so will leave alone for the time being.

Hello, I have just replaced the head gasket on my 2.5D NA. Started ok and so far so good. I have read on some forums about re-torquing the head bolts after a period of running. Is there any good general advice on this. No mention of it in Haynes manual. Regards Chris

Doing head gasket so decided to change valve guide oil seals as well. They come as part of PAYEN gaskets de-coke kit part number STC1562 (PAYEN number DM850). The exhaust seal is quite different the one I have taken off. It has not got the spring on the collar but it does have ribs on the...

Thanks for all your help on this. Will replace fuel filter and oil to start. Not getting consistent feel on lift pump when priming. Lever position at which I get resistance is never the same and gradually reduces - is this normal?. Also just noticed crack in exhaust between first...

All, Just bought my first Land rover. 1984 90 station wagon with 2.5d NA engine. All going well until weekend. First sign of problem was at junction after a long run when it was not ticking over as smoothly - felt like it had a bit more vibration but could not be sure. Seemed ok, so continued...
