To the OP - not sure where you got to with options for senders/gauges etc but this looks like a good source for lots of different size options for sender adaptors, gauges, senders etc. I personally haven't used them but if nothing else it gives you a good idea of what's available out there...

These guys have service kits so might be able to help with just the bolts. Service Kit - AVM Free Wheeling Hubs (dingocroft.co.uk) Cheers..Ian

This is the thread I was thinking about - might be some useful info for you OP Series 3 - Volt meter/oil pressure gauge meter/clock? | LandyZone - Land Rover Forum

I installed a set of three gauges last year - voltmeter, water temp and oil pressure. For the oil pressure I made up an adaptor which mounts in the same hole on the oil filter housing that the standard oil pressure warning light sensor fits, then allows both the existing oil light pressure...

That is a genius tool - need to get one made asap. To the OP - basically follow the same principle of having one end on the piston seat and the spring already attached. I have always used a length of para cord with a toggle on to thread through one of the spare holes in the shoe or looped...

I assume you have tried the UK DVLA history service/MOT checker. Check the MOT history of a vehicle - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk) Just had a quick look using the reg and they show MOT history going back to 21 Sept 2005. If you have the numbers from the V5C document then you should be able to delve...

I have exactly the same thing in my 1982 SWB - the leisure battery (140ah) allows me to run extra work lights and 12v power sockets and I also hard wired in a decent capacity inverter so we can occasionally run power tools if we get a machine in a field needing a quick repair. I went down the...

Excellent - thanks for the reply. Confirms my thoughts that the current arrangement wasn't right. Looking at it I think the adjuster bar might be a handmade replacement as well as it's fouling the side of the front cover so I'll probably re-do the whole lot. Appreciate you taking the time to...

Looking for some advice. Been replacing weeping gasket on the front cover on my 1982 2.25 diesel. We'll see how successfully when it gets hot! Just wondered if anyone had a picture in situ of the correct fitting of the bottom bolt for the alternator adjustment bar - the slotted one. When I...

I wanted to do exactly the same as you a few summers ago - the picture shows how I sorted out the belt mounting point (this is after the summer when I had refitted the hardtop). These bolt in three places to the top of the tub and I think I only had to drill one hole. They are well braced...

To the OP - there's a reason why these threads need to ramble for a bit - gives people like me a chance to see them as we don't get to the desk most days, and then we can occasionally chuck in something (maybe) useful later. On the original question, I have just changed to new tyres and went...

Am I the only person who finds this very unwelcoming to the original poster - someone who looks fairly new to the forum and LR ownership. I'm not quite sure what your intention is with this answer but basically condemning someone for not currently having the skills to do what you consider...

Do you know what - maybe he/she just likes and appreciates having a Landrover and is not mechanically minded. Maybe he's an absolute ace with computers or building bridges or flying planes - none of which I can manage. Doesn't stop me from using my PC, driving over the Forth Road bridge or...

Something must be in the air - had exactly the same thing happen to me yesterday. Just pulling away from a T-junction on a quiet country road so nothing even remotely rough, clunk and then no drive. Not too far from home so had a mate pull me back to save any possible further damage. Exact...

Yup, totally non standard - like I said I wanted something that would work with roof on or off so was just putting it in as a possible solution for the OP depending on what he wants to do When it came to me the top fitting was through the actual hardtop skin and the reels were fitted closer to...

Pics of the install of the hoops/mounts mentioned above - hope that helps to show how they fit. Obviously this is probably overkill if you are never going to take the roof off - this way though I can elect to unbolt the roof and still have the belts working and strongly mounted. Think they do a...

Hi there https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LAND-ROVER-SOFT-TOP-RAISED-UPPER-SEAT-BELT-MOUNTING-Defender/324188347038 I used these brackets/hoops when I wanted to take the roof off during the summer last year - the top belt mount was bolted through the side of the hardtop with strengthening washers each...

Apologies, slight hijack here - question to Cornish Rattler on your photo above - where did you get the roof lining with the radio and speaker mounts from or is this another home made masterpiece. Found some fibreglass ones in Scotland but they appear very expensive (£350 - £400). Might be the...

I think the AGM and or lithium ones need a DC to DC charge system to work properly which are more expensive - there are loads of good youtube videos explaining the pros and cons and what you need for each type but like you I came to the conclusion that keeping it simple was best for the...

Sorry - should also have said in post above that this is not suitable for AGM batteries or any of the fancier new types apparently - advised by my battery supplier that these type of relays will only work with lead acid batteries. Happy to stand corrected if someone else knows better as I'm no...
