Your pictures match what my garage does and I was a little concerned it was getting too hot. But I also have an 88 stat fitted. I would have expected the gauge to sit at about halfway but sits where yours is. But even towing doesn’t really move above that. So maybe that is just the right point...

Usually the recommendation is the factory suspension. Other setups tend to be harder and bouncier. And the factory setup gives the best all around ride quality. It’s a tall 4x4 with a beam axle Suspension setup it is never going to compare with even a saloon from the same era as the design...

I think these are one size for all models. So may just be a case of poor pattern parts?

But then you dont have them acting like a bobble head in the rear view mirror. Where is your sense of fun!

Room for at least three more in there!

That will be the problem then: I know others have had similar problem. But just to show it is not a new issue with modern parts. When I sent these pics to my dad he sent back some photos of him with the gearbox out of a Toledo at the side of the road which had done the same thing and...

Nicely showing why I wouldn't be without one :oops:

Definitly name the shop! As above, just the rad is fine and you can fit it in the frame yourself. Just be aware as also mentioned above you will need to remove and reuse the il cooler adapters. While on radiators is there any need to upgrade them? When towing recently i get I was getting a...

I agree on principle that removing both is not a problem as you regain alignment whe. You refit. However from expiriance of swapping bushes on one and both radius arms. To get it lined back up and the bolts in requires a lot of prying, ratchet strapping, swearing, etc. so it is not as...

Clearly you can run without them and people do, but they are a very cheap and easy to fit piece of protection that I would not go without. Considering how thin the diff pan is, it would not take much of a knock to dent or damage it. Especially if you drive you land rover like a 4x4 rather than a...

The hard top being heavier than a station wagon is purely anecdotal. In the autumn I swapped my hardtop body for a station wagon body. With no doors fitted it was much easier to manhandle the station wagon body into place than it was to lift the hard top body off. These days Facebook market...

Second this. I have done it in my 90 with 750s on wolf rims, So only slightly smaller. Stacked one on top of each other. But they do wobble around a disconcerting amount while driving! I can also confirm as an fyi to anyone else that five 35x12.5’s will fit in a 110 hardtop. But only just!

I think they were “diy”. In that you just drilled and tapped them as part of the roof rack fitting. Same with the rear supports that need capping drilling or the longer version that runs down to the crossmember bracket. I do not think they are a bespoke Land Rover part.

That is fairly common. You need to fill the diff guard with waxoil or similar to preserve the diff pan. I would not run without the guard personally as the diff pans are very thin.

Why do you think the axle may not be original. It is just because the rear has been changed? Axles are very easy to rebuild so unless there is a very good reason they are not something people tend to change. Especially as the front already has disc brakes rather than drums. On a separate note...
