The generator on the 24v engine is HUGE. If yours is the normal size it's probably 12v.

Didn't the poor girl object? Or the groomie? (sorry)

Clearing out the shed I found a very old bottle of polish/restorer. Used it to replace the tired, dull, dirty, porous wing tops with lovely clean shiny waterproof ones. Used it up on the wing sides, doors, front and rear sides. Now need to see if I've got another bottle somewhere which will...

...but as always on a Landrover, doing the second one always takes half the time of the first one. At least, that's what I've found. Good luck.

Yes, my MoT tester adjusts the mix to get me through. Then I put it back to where I like it. :)

...and you'll end up with a lovely waterproof drive! :)

"Punctuation and paragraph's" Punctuation and paragraphs;)

As stated - 36 and a smidgin wide, 48 and 2 smidgins long, so you should be able to fit it in sideways. :)

Good idea - they are a right b*gg*r when they fall on your head!

My battery (only one) is held securely by a pair of heavy duty cable ties - works well.

I run on petrol now, but I do remember that diesel seemed to froth up while I was filling, and I had to keep stopping and waiting for it to subside. I can't remember if it differed between brands, sorry. Certainly it was worse if I left the gauze in place. Even now, on petrol, I always remove...

To expand - you don't actually have to take out the passenger floor to get at these plugs, but it is MUCH easier if you do. The old fixings may be a bit of a pig to get out, but they are available new very cheaply. It is well worth making sure you can get both floor plates out when you need...

Land Ranger Services should sort you out. They are at Middlewich, and used to have a place in Fenton, though I don't know if it is still there.

...and spark plugs if it's a petrol :)

The back door on mine needs a good slam before it will lock. In my case I think it is caused by rather thick and ill-fitting rubber seals.

Are you sure the air cleaner is not blocked? I had a problem with the MoT a few years ago. He adjusted the mixture leaner to get it through. Later I noticed the air vents on the oil bath cleaner were half blocked with crud. When I had cleaned it, I had to richen (?) the mixture again to...

No, Mr MOT tester, that's a transparent fuel tank so you can see the fuel level! Wonderful.

Looking good so far! Too late now, but a junior hacksaw will cut a jubilee clip, and save destroying the rubber hose. When I had my engine out, years ago, I stuck soundproofing on the inner wings and bulkhead while they were accessible. Made it a whole lot quieter (but that was a diesel). Good...

Not all ball joints come with a grease nipple fitted, but they are much better with one. You won't know which end is LH or RH thread until you start to undo them, so go easy at first. If you're replacing all six, it might be worth buying a ball joint separator - there are several different...

Good pictures. I'll be very interested to see how you get the half shafts back in. I found that was the worst part of the job. The long one was a real pig! :mad:
