Smith & Allan EP 90 Gear Oil API GL4 20 ltr on eBay (end time 14-Jan-11 14:50:33 GMT) I use this stuff and its fine for a gear box where the tolerances are mammoth.....

I had a funny knock in the really cold weather we have just had. The knock has gone now though as its no longer minus 15.... It would knock when you were accelerating in 3rd and 4th gear and only when the engine was cold. I thought that it could be the big ends or the tappets. I know that the...

When brought my new engine, it came with a genuine Zenith carb attached. It was a 24v military recon engine. I was using it in my 12v 88" so distributor, starter motor and new alternator went on. I used the genuine Zenith carb on that engine until recently when I decided to put a new...

I have ordered some Caustic Soda Crystals so I will see how they go. The reason I want to do this is that I can see at least 8 layers of paint and where it has been scraped by trees etc, it looks a real mess. I think I have have some Nitro Mors at home as well so I can also try that...

Hi, Im going for a complete respray and I want all the pannels back to bare metal. What is the best paint stripper to use for Red Oxide and any other layers of paint that are on there? I am fed up od sanding..... Cheers Yannis

The Series 3 speedo has a high beam light and indicator light built in. (well I think thats the combination) However, before you get a new one; take the dash out and disconnect the speedo cable, now drive along a short distance, does your speedo cable turn? If not, then the problem isnt...

Would that not be possible, I could always just add some weld if I ground to much off ;)

Not such a dumb question. Some one could have just told me, "It will be stamped on them" The crank should be fine, however I am thinking of replacing the bearings with the engine still in place, so unless im top notch with an angle grinder, it will not be having a regrind. All depends...

Right, there is a knock in my engine and I expect its the big end bearings. What size do need when ordering? STD,+0.010, +0.020, etc?

£41.50 inc postage? Also, when you buy the rebuild kit, don't get the cheapest one you can find or things wont fit.... as a friend found out.

I have a carb for sale if you want it? It came on my military recon engine, it was on there for abuot a week running just fine untill I changed it for the new carb I had fitted to my old engine. It has been my spare up till now, but its taking up valuable space in the garage. Its a...

I have now fitted the kit that I brought. One of the best and cheapest modifications I have made to the Land Rover. I advise you all to go out any buy one now... Call it a christmas present from you to your truck. ;)

I have gone for; LAND ROVER SERIES 3 - 4CYL PET ELECTRONIC IGNITION KIT on eBay (end time 29-Nov-10 20:13:05 GMT) (2nd one down on original list) I will let you know how it goes once it arrives.

My next major project is rebuild gearbox and fit V8 to new chassis and then move the rest of the land rover accross... I have the spare gearbox in bits and ready to rebuild. I dont have a V8 yet as I am reaserching EFI vs Carbs. I dont have a chassis yet as I have no where to store...

Are those 101 wheels and tyers? Is the stud pattern the same?

Hi, I used a discovery air box, I am going to post some pictures in the Power thread that I started as we have a bit of a discussion in there about airboxes. Watch that space...

Do you have Defender axels on there now? Im loving the bottle round the dizzy :) Im looking at fitting an EFI V8, I know the wireing is going to be a chalange but hey... Did you have to cut the bulkhead at all? Did you have to move the engine mounts? Did you have to move the RAD...

Good point V8jon, however im not sure what I can really get out of this. As you say replace the glass, but that will only be a few kg, maybe synthetic winch rope would make the same diffrence. Dr Pepper, I have mounted the box on the front left wing (looking twords the bulk head) I made a...

Do you have +2" shackles on the front? Does this not point the pinion down to much, and the front prop foul the x-member? I see you have a V8? Can we have a picture of this as well? Is it EFI or Carbs? How do you find it? What G-Box is in there? Did you do it your self?

I have fitted a K&N, im using a Discovery air box and homemade snorkel. I am looking for a electronic ignition system as per my new thread. I did do a search but there was no up-to-date information. I put on a new carb last night, that has made things much smoother. I will look at a...
