When pulling away after lifting clutch pedal I get a nasty klonk for the drivetrain somewhere, its sounds like it is coming from front diff, though I read a service report that suggests it could be the output shaft on the transfer box, as I have an early transfer box. I have also an advisory...

Thanks I found it with your help. Turns out to be a range rover carb, early low compression type. Does this mean it is only 130bhp and more torque or something? I have a set of 2inch SU's for it too. Bit concerned about the gearbox though, anyone know about this or have experience with a V8...

I've just bought a Series IIa fitted with an early SD1 or rangie (got the same rockers as an SD1 but has SU carbs, which may have been fitted later..) I need to find the engine number so I can inform the DVLA. Where is it? Anyone send me a pic to make it easier?

I have recently bought a series IIa with an early SD1 or rangie V8 lump and can't find the engine number. Where is it?!!

Where are you and how much for the doors? If you were close to Clacton, Essex I'd considered taking it all.

eberspacher and webasto both do petrol night heaters as they're called, not sure about running them whilst moving on road. Surely if you dont want to sleep in your vehicle a good heater that runs off coolant is better. I myslef would just go to a scrapyard and find anything that fits or make it...

Doh, I feel thick now, I knew montego's were front wheel drive, what was I thinking! It as early morning....ish. Thanks for the tips, I'll just have to wait and see what the gearbox is. Picking it up Weds or Thurs next week, assuming snow has all but gone.

I am aware of the conversion kit ( I heard about it from www.dudleigh.co.uk) but as I said I have a buyer for the engine and gearbox from my landy and I was wondering if I could use the gearbox from the montego as well, or use another gearbox completely. Regarding the insurance, yes I can get...

Just purchased a 68 SII with V8. However, due to higher insurance and fuel costs, I am going to sell it. I have a buyer but he wants the gearbox. He's not having it unless I can get a gearbox. What are my options? I can do any modification needed. Will the montego box work? This is my first...
