The gearbox in my lightweight blew up a while ago so ive just about finished putting in a replacement but on driving it the transfer box jumps out of high every time you let off the throttle. It dosnt feel like the lever is going far enough forward, is there any way to adjust it?

Seeing as ive got to change the gearbox on the landy im going to change the engine while im at it. Anyone done this conversion? if so, any tips? Ive got the link to the engineering firm that does it but they recommend taking off the turbo, is this really for the best?

I put them in last weekend and they have made a real difference. It was easy to do and I would recommend it to anyone thinking of doing it to theirs. Big thanks to all who replied.

I scrounged a replacement off a mates S3 and its different. The dual lines on his are different sizes and further apart, also the ones ive seen for sale on ebay have diagonal lines, mine are parallel.

Can anybody help (again), I am after a seal kit for a series 3 lightweight master cylinder. I have had 3 attempts at getting it from a land rover garage but they still have not got the right one. The cylinder is a dual line and has the reservoir held on by two screws at one end and a large...
