    Do I need to drain oil for turbo change?

    not while your changing it, you may get a little out of the oil feed and return pipes, but read the instructions very carefully if its new, and if it states to inject oil in the galleries round the turbo before installation, do it! but after you have fitted the turbo, change the oil and filter...

    2.6 valve stem oil seals??

    yea i think they are the same engine, but they are always compared to the 2.25 as they were in the land rover, so they are referred to as ''similar'' but they arnt! i just wondered if the seals were the same or similar, but i will have a look over the net. thankyou.

    2.6 swb!?

    well i have to say, your slowly making me think it might be better to just re-chassis it onto a 109 chassis, as you said they are rare, maby converting an original six is a silly idea! i am a big fan of these six pots,i love them, and i would save every one of them if i could! so i am thinking...

    Land Rover MOT pass rate data

    basicly only 50 percent passed successfully meaning the other half have a good chance of passing too,because the headlights arnt controlled by computers, and the indicators, and brake lights, and the master cylinder dosent cost 700 quid! and also at least 75% of land roves ever made before...

    2.6 swb!?
