Why did you have a Marina axle on your LR?

Original SW in good condition are valuable. Also, a CSW has 4 doors so do you mean a double cab with a small rag top over the loading area? Better looking for a 109” 3 door. The canvas cover and the hood sticks will set you back £500-750 and a folding tailgate £100+ trawl the web for the set up...

Also replaced the rear windows and seal kit.

Did the tappets this aft and refitted the rocker cover.

So the consensus is the vehicle is able to legally display black plates?

Troops, the build date on the V5 is 31 Dec 1979. Can I put black plates on it under the DVLA eligibility faff of 2015?

Rusty or broken reluctor ring would be my guess.

What grade of oil?

Lucky a garage will take it on. The local garage said no, and a mates mate who works for JRL said £800 on the drive if it goes well. I just did it myself, dead easy.

Plus the hub oil seal ;)

Normally says ended and item still viewable.

Nice looking truck. Don’t lose faith the team on here know these things inside out. Top tip, don’t ignore the advice. Good luck getting home and invest in a Nanocom if you can. If you can wait a bit I’m in South Lincs and can plug mine in to help you understand the faults.

What an epic trip, welcome.

Finally got round to fitting the new rear door. Went from this… To this

When we bled the brakes last week, simply stuck it in high and crawled underneath, no faffing. Same with the abs sensor brilliant access.

When Brian owned the p38 the garage refused to do the work. Prolly worried about it being stuck on a paying ramp.

I’m a useless mechanic. I bought the tools, the parts latex gloves, plus gas, map torch and it cost me about £200. Admittedly they were really rusted in, watch the videos, listen to the tips on here and it’s a doddle.

Just had mine done. Look great in black. They were a real state before they went in. Shot blasting and powder coating is about £40 a wheel + vat.

I got my gleaming shot blasted and painted wheels back yesterday, £160 well spent. Now to look for rubber. Paddocks do 7.50 x 16 Security ML814 Tube Type Tyre @£118 a corner. Anyone bought these?

Brake update. Plenty of air in the system and the fluid was a caramel colour. All changed including a replacement Wabco abs sensor on the front left albeit a repurposed rear cable. I also rubbed down and resprayed the rear bumper.
