Ifitted MkII Polo (VW) beltsto SI for a friend- his was differentinthat it had a 'cage' but they fit, work and are cheap. visit a scrapyard andd they're CAF (cheap as f**k). I madeplates (well,local blacksmith ddidd) to anchor them on 'seatbox' but they fit elsewhere with a little ingenuity....

I said inanother thred - LROI didd an article onthis - £750ish or learn and put together your own kit.

Servo is 'power assistance'- your SI/II/III can pass without it - test relates to braking, not how hard you have to press pedal. Check for contaminated shoes (previous fluid leak etc) and ridge on drums first-stopping full contact between shoes and drums. 'flap wheel' in drill (but buy a cheap...

Ptooie. Only RR classic worth having is a t/e 200tdi (or a hc modded 3.5). Or a 100" with Series b/h & body. Friendd has a 3.9efi with mods(and 5 seatbelts!) but teaching your son (10) to drive 2nd LR (140 bhp and auto) lets us have 3 5-pt seatbelts (in his),3 in mine and panels fixed with a...

do the plugs not work or has the bulb 'popped?' use decent battery to try heating plugs. If they work, they warm up (oops -that's a bit obvious)- remove from bores and ensure decent contact between them and engine to check (NB (nota bene) - adding a new (extra) earth strap always helps - Polo...

Thermostats (wax) operate on water temperature. Rad and expansion tank caps operate on water pressure with different rated caps having different strength springs - At a higher temp more pressure in system - leads to opening rad cap (against spring). Wax thermostats use system in reverse (as temp...

Don't want to sound ignorant or owt, but why would you need to fit an expansion tank? If system heats (pressurises) too much and blows water, you should get something more efficient in the way of cooling (electric fan, military rad, bigger rad etc)

Lobbit infrontofme! Think the move to USA may cost too much.... Don't forget the axles catch first. My 100"sits lower than it should but has articulation better than most coillers. And no weight. (well,compared to Discos etc) Guarantee my 100" out-performs that both off and on-road. Can't do...

What's a "shock link"?

High compression engines are far better than lc engines. EFi unit should be interesting. If you're just selling I'll offer £50 for the lot (condition as seen) delivered to my door. Brand-new LC engines found for <£300. Not the ultimate Landy engine - I have a 220bhpMazda perkins copy that pulls...

Sorry just found post - (ddropthekidds) - diff problem. But I think same prob wasmentioned here sometime earlier - little searchingof threas should help...

There's a post IIRC describing this problem. detent screw on side of lever base? Shortsearch didn't turn it up but as I'm spending moretime repairing keyboard ("D" doesn't or repeats and spacebar just oesn't unless I use Landdrover special tool no.1 (ball-pein) I'm strugglingto search without...

Don't want to sound like harbinger of doom but could rings have cracked/broken? If it's stood for a month you should crank it over by hand a few times first to move oil about a bit and free up anything like slightly siezed mating faces. Not suggesting it is but possible? Or even just...

Hi.Either fit military rad or modify front end. My 100" used Volvo 264 (V6)rad with Nissan fan. I've posted elsewhere about using 205 diesel van (twin fans) setup and if you can fit 2.7 engine, you can make thermolectric fans fit. My only problem is changing it from 25a '78 Fiesta (MkI)...

I'm Mr. LR but I know LR/Hummer limitations. I've seen Hummers doing some amazing stuff,but I have to say that as I have a special rollcage, I've tried and tried and stiill done the same as Hummers.Hummers can be modified to amazing degrees, but Landrover drivers try harder..... Tried f**kwit...

Free-wheeling hubs. All you require without the downsides. BMW do rwd vehicles but if you want a 2wdLR might I suggest you're sick?

And no-one should ever think about buying adaptors etc to allow you to refuel your lpg vehicle from your household gastank.... Only possible concern with modern vehicles and chip-pan fat - detergents/additives/lubricants in modern diesel. Still, my Perkins 4203 will happily run on a mix of...

Why did engine 'go'? If vehicle serviced properly it doesn't even have to be done by main dealer for warranty to still be valid. I had bad experiences with two main dealers as all I wanted in both cases was parts (both under £10 but was willing to pay £50/60 for an hour's inconvenience) and all...

London taxi(blackcab) tyres?

You need a set of wiresnips (or similar) for this. Changing shoes, very narrow cable ties help me when changing shoes.Wrap them around slave cylinders (I use approx. 3or4mm wide ties)and tighten to force fluid back into master cylinder(but to prevent contamination just to hold pistons in...
