hmmm, took loads of measurements today and partially dismantled the pump. It looks like I will need a complete new adaptor assembly. As well as cutting and re-welding the lloy casting, the shaft itself would need machining to allow the bearing to be moved along it's length. There are a couple...

Here is a comparison of the 101/RRC PTO and the series cover plate to show the difference in depth of the dog clutches.

I don't thnink that the hydraulic pipe will foul, it should be higher enough up to miss the brake drum completely but it's possible, looking at the diagram that the pump part is clocked round a few degrees which might be to miss the drum. I'm going to have to spend some time today carefully...

It's horses for courses. £200-300 for a rebore and pistons and then all the other bits, new bearing shells (for my 19J at least) a complete set of gaskets for the whole engine. head rebuild kit. possibly a new flywheel, although I might be able to get away with re-facing it on the lathe. One...

Even at idle, tghe engine is breathing many many many litres of air, while the heater fan moves only a tiny faction of that in the same time. It is more likely to hinder the engine than even have no effect at all

Had a go at fitting the spool valve and pump yesterday. Spent quite some time fitting the spool valve because i made a bit of an arse of it to be honest. Looks OK in the end though. The reall problem came when I fitted the pump though. It doesn't fit. The clutch collar that locks the PTO...

I started the finishing stretch with the winch rebuild/fit by fitting the spool valve and hydraulic PTO. When I offered up the PTO it turns out that it doesn't fit at all. It fits the flange fine, but the casting is far too long so the PTO doesn't engage. The little dog clutch just falls...

Place local to me was £50 per cylinder, then the cost of pistons, rings etc. Thats why I'm not bothering with my 19j.in the 90. Im just going to fit a new engine

I'll swap you my tired 9 leaf petrol springs for your bouncy 11 leaf diesels :D I've now got said frigging great winch on the front. gill

If its jjust the washer part that's broken any push button would do i suppose. Why don't you want ot get another lucas one? Also why do you guys have posh two speed wipers? I only have slow as hell or stop. gill

As above Chris. It's amazing what can be salvaged. It's not really a question of can it be saved, it definitely can, but rather it's a case of how much you want to spend on it. By the time you've had a re-bore done, oversize pistons, new gasket sets, maybe new bearings, possibly a re-grind on...

Now that ive finished fitting my winch to the front of the truck, I set about fitting the pump etc, or at least I poked around at stuff thinking about it. I opened the top cover on the transfer box to look at how it was all going to fit together. While playing around I noticed that there was...

agreed. I'm glad I didnt paint it, it would have looked very out of place. I do intend painting the whole truck at some point soon, although I have been saying that for a few years now! When I do the rest of the truck I'll do the winch as well. I had a little spare time before a hospital...

I had one of these engines in an omega. It was a really nice engine, very smooth. Vauxhall in their ultimate wisdom though fitted the same autobox as their 2 litre petrols, which couldnt handle anywhere near the torque fomr the BMW engine. BMW used an uprated version of the same box, which...

I finished off the shaft yesterday to fit the back end of the winch together and also cut some steel plate to make a bracket to attach the winch onto the crossmember. I was looking for 1/4" plate but could only find 10mm. A bit heavy but it's not going to bend that's for sure! I'd put the top...

I've just dug out an old injector and can confirm that it is 1/4" BSP gill

I dont know the answer to your question off the top of my head, however a decent injector test rig should come with all the sizes you are likely to need. Also most diesels, built in britain at any rate, during the 60's - 80's are likely to all have the same basic injectors anyway. It tends to...

Just one thing to add to Big Sandy's post.... when you're removing the drum, you will probably find the need to use LR tool number 1, the trusty hammer. Wear some sort of eye protection. There's little worse than getting a sharp chunk of rust in the eyeball, then trying to rub your eyes with...

That's a neat bit of kit Darren. Might go down that route myself. I rewired a while back making up my own loom, but I only went as far back as the front wing just after it all came out of the bulkhead, so all the dodgy old black copper stuff behind the dash is still taking the full load...

I exhibit my battered old series three at the Farming yesteryear show at Scone Palace. I'm always in the light commercial section along with quite afew other landies. They are all of the rivet counter, better than they came out the factory type. While they are beautiful to look at, they...
