Problem found!! Removed the battery light cable from the alternator stud and connected it to the alternator pin, and everything works fine! It would seem there is an issue with the alternator stud terminal - spoken to the supplier and waiting to...

You are asking in the Series land rover section, Suggest you move to Range Rover Threads.

Just to advise you all i stock loads of unf and unc stainless screws on my website www. britstainless.co.uk or my ebay store of the same name, if you need any help just ask, thanks brian

Clicks can come from partially seize UJ, have had one totally seize and boy did that result in a vibration that nearly shook steering wheel out of my hands. The joint in question was well hot but when cooled I was able to drive home. Not saying...

Pretty simple check, with volt meter connected at alternator output when engine running you should have 13 to 14v showing. However as yours is a fitted for radio military model than it would have had a 24v system. Has it been converted...

Clonks while moving off/slowing down are usually related to axle play both front and rear in places like the various rods and links and bush's that attach them to chassis. A classic is the A frame joint on top of the rear diff but this would not...

I don't have the special tool either and have just carefully tapped around the seal to seat it' I do second @miktdish above re the seal, those brown ones fit easy enough but do not last in this situation and many have started to leak in a few...

Well at least others may benefit from your info.

Thanks yes. Agree, ill have a go tomorrow afternoon and see.if i can drive a tappered drift through to raise the paul, if i can do that ill make a tubular tapered tool with a split in to feed through in front if the cable shaft to get it back...

Be careful not to contaminate running surface if you add sealer [ original seal had a sealer already on the outside] Locating seal in housing can be done by careful tapping around the seal if seal fitting tool not available. One chap on here...

Voltage readings are not the be all and end all of how well an wire delivers power, if it can not supply sufficient amps things will not work. This goes for any other connection such as the spade connection on the starter. Poor connection, no...

https://www.12voltplanet.co.uk/relay-guide.html They are pin numbers.

Plus one on the above regards Original seal. Not sure about the one in post above as see no guide. OEM seal that comes with a plastic guide to get it in place correctly, also OEM gasket for housing that has pre applied sealer on it. Fitting...

Well……I found the rattle. It was a strange noise, more like two pieces of sheet metal contacting each other rather than a heavy clatter. Anyway….the rattle came from the n/s front. By sheer luck I noticed that the shock absorber had no threads...

If the bolt holes in the brackets for the panhard have worn over size that will also needs sorting or you are wasting your time just renewing bolts an bushes, had to sort the axle one on mine, rusted thin, worn oval.

Thanks yes. Agree, ill have a go tomorrow afternoon and see.if i can drive a tappered drift through to raise the paul, if i can do that ill make a tubular tapered tool with a split in to feed through in front if the cable shaft to get it back...

There is a mechanical lock that prevents the pull going back in until the key is turned to the on position. Perhaps because it came out to far [ location screw lost perhaps] the lock pawl is now in the way for the pull shaft to go back in. I...

I've just had the whole thing out and it seems the hook had rotated somehow and so could pop out, I've turned it through 180 and it seems to fit snugly ...I've also squeezed the sides of the handle in the vice so hopefully it'll hold against it a...

thanks appreciated

The cross bolt of the link plate may need tightening. Hook on link rod may need a tweek so it holds better. Side plates of lever may need a little squeeze to prevent rod hook escape. Button only rotates if hook has come out or its threads to rod...

Key has to be in the on position for pull to go all the way in. [ or may just go in with screws removed ] one or tother.

ALLO ALLO, I will say this one more time. You are trying like many before you to get an old at least 40 years gauge along with its equally old wiring and regulator to be accurate. If it does happen it will be just pot luck and will not last as...

Getting door card off while shut is nigh impossible with out serious damage to it. Neither inner or outer handle will release I guess? Try holding up the lock button while working handle's. I button does not want to come up release it again...

Thanks left it as it is for now in last pic. think I better take the bloody thing back off just to be safe.

What Marjon means is with the rockers fitted and no cambelt, if/when you rotate the engine to line up the timing marks any open valves could make contact with the pistons. So safest to remove rocker gear then fit belt etc. This why when engine...

Cooling fan on alternator loose another check.

D box reverse idler got a bearing instead of a bush. Tidy idiot guide to the LT76 on LRUK forum. [ not saying you are an idiot, just what it is called.]

Which bushes did you use in the end? Yes brute force is the answer, on the upside along as you greased all the bolts it will come apart easy enough next time.

All sorted. Replaced the a frame bushes, bolts, and the rear fulcrum. I have come to learn that heat, angle grinders, and more force than you think are required. All good fun!
