Cosmetically Rear Tailgates upper one has a spindly frame that rots and bows and drops flakes everywhere. Lower rail, with the latch in it has a couple of tin plate covers and probably a plastic trim bit around the lock mechanism on the inside. These cover a multitude of rot, and the latch...

dont know where you are located; but we have a factors near us called Nuneaton Car Panels (I think) all they do is repair rections or panels and paint; usually for the trade but they will deal with ameteurs; they mix any paint to any shade to code for you, will match to sample; they'll even...

Your getting the hand of this Land-rovering M'larky quite quick, intcha! Cant help you there; from 83 to 90 the RR parts book was in chaos as they brought in loads of changes shoving the thung up market. Case of trawling through the microcat I'm afraid; may be worth trying to find the seriel...

Pretty much; 1983, twelve years after the Rangie was launched, and rotten ones were starting to turn up in breakers and people had started building 'hybrids' out of them, factory decided to do it themselves and standardise parts accross the range. Rangie itself, got disc brakes and reversed...

Procedure for adjusting the hand brake is first to find it! If you aren't familiar with Land-rovers, the Hand-Brake doesn't operate on the back wheel brakes like an ordinary car, there is a 'fifth' drum brake on the back of the gear-box. Find a back wheel, crawl under the car, and follow the...

Pardon? this seems to be answering a different question! Suspect he fancies the idea of discs becouse its a 2a 109 which wont have had the big brake drums or a servo as standard, and has an effof heavy body on top! 11" Stage 1 or 1-ton brakes; new parts including backing plate, some-one recently...

There's an express 'exemption' for 'middle' seats, intending the one in the middle of a back seat, where there was no convenient bit of frame work to hang a diagonal, allowing a lap-strap, right up until the late 90's. Actual letter of the law, didn't destinguish between middle seats in front or...

Its the same sort of problems as using the whole Disco Axles; would save welding leaf saddles to the bottom of the tube, but would give bigger problems elsewhere. The swivil doesn't actually fit, the flange drilling is a different patern, though that could be 'adapted' by filling the holes with...

If you haven't got the CV yet, check on the Paddocks (Though may have been Craddocks!) Web-site; was pricing up dampers and pretty sure that there was a CV joint 'Kit' on the front page, of 'Web-specials' and it was something like £30...... unless you've got a better price..... may be worth a look.

Some models do have a two piece cable, and yours may; theres a sender unit on the near side chassis rail, hidden behind a heat sheild, that contains a magnet and reed switch to give the EFi unit a speed signal. On later models with electronic speedo,it also provides the signal for that, and the...

14J=Sherpa engine, pretty well settles it, I think

Only problem I had with 100w bulbs was that burning hotter, the fillament would blow a lot more readily.

At this point, No. As said, I dont think it will have much, if anything to do with the engine running hot. Its an expensive part and a bludger to change. so I'd try and get to the 'root' of the problem and tackle that, before revisiting how much hot air you get in the cab. If you aren't...

I have a couple of 4-point (atachment) Rally harnesses knocking about; spent about a year in the back of my 109. In good nick, blue webbing......... interested?

Went to collect a motorbike once, coming home, and approaching a set of very tight bends, passenger asked me what the heck I was doing tapping the brake pedal...... "I've got a chuffing biker right on my bludy.......... Ah! yes..... tow.....bar...... that'll be the one on the trailer...... wont it?"

From memory, from 1965 C&U regs meant that seat-belts had to be fitted in all new cars. I think that there was a while that Land-roveres escaped being classed as a commercial vehicle, but by the time the SIII came along, pretty sure they were standard fit, and the regs said if fitted as...

Yeah, the 'load' that the trailer electrics are putting on the landies electrics is to high for the flasher.... you need an HD towing flasher, like the one on your P38.

Pretty close; though the water-pump shaft needs properly shortening to clear the rad; of which HD 4-core SIII item is just about able to cope with carb V8 power; but the devil is in the detail, and before fitting a V8 you need to make sure EVERYTHING else is as good as you can make it, from the...
