What gearbox you got? Apperantly if you reverse for an extended amount of time with an LT77 box, it will starve the top rear gearbox bearing of oil and then from there on when in reverse you are putting load on the damaged bearing and get grinding noises, and this doesn't happen in forward...

I use Zinc 182 to paint the chassis, (similar to red oxide but better imo) I use Clear waxoil inside the chassis where possible (usually leave can in a bucket of hot water first so it sprays well! I dont believe in watering it down with thinners so to speak.) Finally i get my marigolds on and...

Thanks, It should't have to be manual if yer mrs is doing it right! :D

I'll take some soon

Been through all the V8 conversion before, i did think about it as i do love the V8, tis one of the best engines out there! However not many LPG fill up points where i live and the price is going to go up in the near future. I find diesel Jap engines reliable and they can cope with the varied...

You haven't got a clue! :doh: An intercooler is an excellent modification for a 19J, reducing charge temps can only benefit the engine, dont expect any more power or economy though! The only negative side of fitting an intercooler is that the engine has another component it can fill with oil...

I wouldn't waste my money on a 200 or 300!:) After i blow up the 19J, the 110 will get a jap engine for sure, i've got a 3 litre N/A diesel mazda engine that i can get hold of with all the fitting kit for a defender, that will run on anything from paint to used chip oil! I also have a...

A manual relief valve is a brass valve with a spring and ball inside it, it is threaded and the more you do it up the harder it becomes to lift the ball off the seat, this is a way of controlling the amount of boost pressure the turbo delivers. It is placed between the turbo inlet housing and...

Hi everyone, A year ago i bought a very rusty 110 pickup with a 19J in it, with the plan of restoring it. It had the usual faults, rotten rear crossmember, rotten outriggers all round, footwells, bulkhead gone by the hinges, and the bottom of the doors gone etc etc. I cut off all the out...
