For anyone who may struggle with this problem, here's how I finally overcame it. Firstly, do as "Jamesmartin" suggests and remove the final drive shaft. It's easy enough from underneath to remove the handbrake assembly and unbolt the shaft. This gives you something you can hold in a vice to work...

You're a star. I'd hoped that with the brake assembly out of the way I might have had more access to the drive gear but no, as is always the case there're other obstacles. Better get up to Gotts before they close for a gasket and replacement fluids.

Further advice please: Rear prop and handbrake assembly removed, transfer box fluids dropped so I've got a good view of the rear output housing. Before I go further, does the drive flange need to come off or will the assembly within simply withdraw as one when I undo the casing bolts? While I...

Thanks mate, I guessed it'd be a drama considering it's been in there for 24 years. I'll look again tomorrow as my work lamp gave up too!!

My speedo finally decided it didn't like bouncing around any longer so gave up and now just sits there at 0 mph. Thinking the cable would be the obvious first point of attack I replaced it but no, the needle remains firmly planted at zero. Now I'm trying to get the drive out of the transfer box...

....Bloody I-pads!!! Has anyone else had this issue? Have I got something wrong or are there other belts that might be longer? Any helpful comments would be welcome. Cheers.

Hi there After much delay, as usual caused by other issues and the promise to do things indoors (and out) to keep the peace, I've finally fitted the power steering parts to my 110. All went well (mainly due to the investment of a breaker bar) until it came to the fitting of the pas belt. The...

Wireman is right, the release papers or casting forms will help a great deal when obtaining a civvy reg number. Before you're ready to apply you'll also need an MoT (it can be done on the vin or chassis number) and insurance, which will probably be the biggest drama you come across. Some...

Cheers "Flat", a picture would be appreciated. It's a pity the existing FFR pulley doesn't do the job but there's Land Rover for you.

Cheers mucker, looks like a final trip over to Mr Gott's next week and that'll be the Christmas break project materials sorted.

Hi all After a long and an often head banging search I've finally sourced 99% of the parts to convert my '94 110 FFR to power steering, however I've heard that the 2 belt crank pulley that runs the alternator and the 90amp generator on a FFRnwill be no good as a means to run the pas pump...

Foxy Thanks for the reply mate. In all honesty I'm really after the power steering set-up from a 19j so not that worried whether it's a runner or not but still happy to take the whole engine if it has all the ancillary parts in place. If you still want shot of it let me know please, no dramas...

Hi mate I'm after a complete 19j engine should Dave Evans (original thread post) not take you up on your earlier offer. Can pay cash and collect anytime.

HI I don't think what you have are "Wolf" door tops, simply early 90/110 or standard military. If both glasses move they're 90/110, one fixed glass could be series type. The replacement seals, felt sliders and rubbers are still available and should stop leaks and the hideous window chatter when...

Hello all I want to fit power steering to my ex military 110 (2.5 n/a) and am wondering whether any of the lads out there might have, or know of someone with an old 19j that can be robbed of the pump and mounting brackets, or someone that has them without the need to rob. I've tried all the...
