WOW, very smart. Will you have enough flex when the engine is moving about?

A long time since I've been on this forum. Can anyone suggest what radiator hoses to use when plumbing a RV8 to a Series radiator. Have searched the forums but have come up blank. Thanks in advance.

Thanks. Its an 88 inch and I have a series 3 rear axle available to me. ( also 88). Series 3 looked the same in a photo but needed to check.

Could someone please tell me if a series 3 rear axle is the same as a 2a. Thanks in advance.

Have just spent about an hour trying to fit some new brake adjusters to my front axle backplates. I have never come across such badly manufactured rubbish in my life. You guessed right, their Britpart! Can anyone suggest where I can buy a decent set of adjusters. Have been buying parts from...

Thanks for your input. Think I will go with a set of good quality originals.

I would imagine this subject has been covered many times before. I’m currently doing a total rebuild of a series 2a but keeping the V8 that had been previously fitted. The existing springs are shot and have been advised to go for parabolic springs as they give a better ride. There seems to be...

Thanks bennybenny. Thats a start. I hope to get decent road speeds by fitting an overdrive. If I can I want to keep the historic status and avoid road tax.

I am currently rebuilding a 2a which has a Rover V8 and LT95 gearbox (see other posts) After having a very long chat with a chap at Richard chassis I have decided to dump the ex Rangie gearbox and go for a series gearbox. This will overcome some of the issues relating to the chassis mods, and...

Does anyone have a parts PDF for a Range Rover Classic that I could view? Thanks in advance

Ok then, if a 109 had a six cylinder engine would it have the twin cylinder brake drums?

Good day today. Dismantled the axle and yes it has 47 teeth on the crown wheel which makes it a 4.7:1. Can't seem to find any info on the brakes in the Haynes manual. Did the 109 have a six cylinder petrol engine. My manual only covers 4 cylinder petrols.

The John Deere's are pretty good. The only problem is that they are basically computers these day's. What with engine management, fly by wire switches and GPS guidance systems, if it goes wrong the dealership and their laptops have to sort it out. Not like the Major where a few whitworth...

Had seen the landy runing, but by the time I had finished harvest and then planted everything again the battery was flat so just decided to start stripping it down. I intend to do the job correctly particularly where the brakes are involved. No cutting corners. I want to be able to take my kids...

Series "part of" the forum. Stupid iphone!
