Hi everyone, I've bought some 8x16 steel wheels for my D2 but they don't come with wheel nuts. See some ones available (ANR4851) but they require painting otherwise they'll rust. Looking at wheels, they don't have the typical 60 degree seat which is pretty common for wheels. Does anyone...

Happy to report the horn and cruise control work after repairing the wiring.

I have found the problem. I guess trying to fix this in the dark wasn't helping me last night. Pin 12 wire is broken through just before the plug tail enterers the main loom under the fusebox. It looks as though it has been rubbing on something and worn through at some point a while ago...

I've recently bought a D2 to scratch the 4x4 itch i've had since selling my series 3. When i got it the horns didn't work and the car didn't have cruise control. I've just fitted cruise control and while the light on the dash button does eliminate cruise doesn't work. Through investigation of...

Will range rover v8 tubular manifolds fit a series 3? I've stupidly gone and won a set of manifolds without reading the description (only had 1 minute left) so i rushed a last minute bid in and won! Doh! Seller says he bought then for a land rover 110 but they don't fit due to the chassis...

Ok I'll just re-pack it as is then with the new boot. I could always make one out of cork - if I had any cork that is. Would be nice to find one though made out of rubber or polyurethane or similar. Thanks for all your help chaps, i'll be getting the dirty bits of metal I the parts washer...

The new UJs arrived today so I went to the workshop after work with my spare prop. Managed to get the old UJs out without much of a fight and was happy to see that the replacements I'd bought are the correct size. I'd also bought a new gator to replace the old one (seemed stupid not to) when i...

Haha, it dos make a right old racket as well, tbh I've no time to look at the speedo while I'm moving anyway as I'm too busy fighting with the steering to be able to check it and i wouldn't want to take my eyes off the road for one second in all honesty. These all beasts need 100% concentration...

Thanks for your help, knew it would be something simple! I'll find out what grease is required and buy a gun - best to get them well packed.

Would they come with grease as std, and you refill them at each service or something? How come you don’t get little boots to cover the nipples like you would for a brake caliper? Seems strange to me... EDIT: **** sorry mate i didn't see your post till i had posted my own, i'll see...

I’ve ordered some new UJs, bolts and yoke boot for my front propshaft. I ordered the more expensive ones with the nipples. (hope they are the correct ones I just guessed that the props are the std ones and haven’t been swapped out for another type. Anyway – do I need to fill these with grease –...

Oh right so i can't fit a salisbury then? Arse! Humm, maybe stock up on half shafts then or just learn to drive an old land rover.. Will a RR diff not fit the salisbury axle? I'm assuming the main difference in the axles is the amount of spines right, maybe a thicker shaft as well resulting...

So your saying I can kill two birds with one stone by fitting a salisbury axle? Humm just need me an axle then - hope someone reads my wanted add - any idea what the going rate is for one gman?

How do people correct the instruments when you fit range rover diffs and do you have the same problem when you fit a Salisbury rear axle? I'm unsure where the drive is taken from?? I would have thought I'd be from either an axle or gearbox and would be a mechanical drive rather than electrical...

Power steering kit ohh do tell...could do with that in mine! Only bought my S3 the other day but these landies are just made for v8s I bloody love it - the noise is something else.
