Team - does this help? Picture of clutch. Looks good to me.

I can try - what would that tell us?

The only other thing I could think of is the spigot binding on the bush in the crank? With the pedal spring removed, the clutch still feels good which makes me think the clutch is working. I didn’t add additional lube to the spigot when reassembling (the manual doesn’t say it is required) and...

I lubed the splines. The engine and gearbox was a bit of a nightmare to get to go together but nothing out of the ordinary I don’t think.

I’d imagine so. It was done by a LR specialist and quite hard to get wrong I believe. With the engine off, in gear and clutch pedal not depressed, I cannot push the car (as would be suspected). With engine off, in gear and clutch pedal depressed, I can push the car. That suggests the clutch is...

Bled and no issue there. Col - it’s in a tight garage on a hill so a bit afraid to try that I’m afraid. Can you talk me through the rod adjustment so I can try that. If the only change is a rebuilt engine (and clutch) why would the rod adjustment be suddenly thrown out of balance? Tom

I should add that when it is running it won’t go into any forward gears, even with clutch depressed. It grinds as it goes towards reverse.

Team, I have just fitted a new fully rebuilt engine to my Land Rover series 3. It runs great. However, won’t go into gear as it grinds when I try to select a gear even with clutch depressed. So I am thinking (1) maybe the clutch isn’t disengaging or (2) I have a stuck clutch (clutch plate stuck...

Team - I have a wonderfully rebuilt 2.25 Petrol. Can someone please advise me on a run-in procedure (revs, filters, oils). I do very little mileage in the car. I understand I need to use Run In Oil? Tom

Any thoughts on powder coating vs painting. And what do you need to do to the inside in respect of cleaning up? A wash out with old Petrol? Tom

This isn’t them but it’s like these much runs almost up to the swivels. The issue is getting underneath them to strip, paint, etc. I don’t have a welder.

Hi Community - some advice please. I want to refurbish my axle casings on my series 3. The existing ones have clunky reinforcement sections and are in poor condition so I though I might source new ones from eBay, etc. to repaint/powder coat. I’ll have the diffs done by Ashcroft. I can then swap...

Amazing - thank you. I’d imagine that’s the 1 3/8 equivalent. Any idea if the angle of the bottom hose elbow? Thanks

Hello Team - I am looking to order some new silicone radiator hoses of my 2.25P. My rubber ones perished and I threw away before measuring. Could someone let me know the inside dimensions of the radiator hoses (top and bottom) plus the angle of the bottom hose - 120 or 135 degrees. If anyone...

Exactly what I was after! Thanks mate
