    Series 2A 1964 SWB...Advice Needed

    All depends on how bad the chassis is, the steel used in 1960's chassis fabrication did not have much in the way of corrosion resistance when it was smelted, i.e. chromium was not added to the melt. If the present chassis is really bad I would forget trying to patch up and just buy a new chassis...

    Series 2a Alternator Upgrade

    Get an auto electrician to check what the regulator fitted on the current alternator is allowing through, you might be surprised. Series 2 vehicles were fitted with dynamo's when originally built, so someone has already altered yours and it would be a good idea to have the wiring checked before...

    This months LROI has an article about replacing Series I leaf springs and the troubles they had getting the correct ones. At end of day they removed one or two leaves from a Series III set and fitted them. Worth a thought if funds are tight.

    Landie or Shogun

    Depends on where you are and what you are using them for. Just finished a project in Oman where our two 110's spent a huge amount of time out of service waiting for spare parts and repairs when compared against the other fleet vehicles which were Land Cruisers and Toyota's which just refused to...

    66 Series II Dormobile Interior

    Right then, all the mechanicals done, just the wings, bonnet and doors to refit and it's off to the paint shop at the end of this week. What I am missing is inspiration on how to fit out the back end. So a simple request to beg, borrow or steal any quality colour pictures of interiors that...

    springs and dampers

    Hate to point it out, your first post does not say you have fitted larger wheels. You have used the word 'however' which can be an adverb of degree and conjunction. As a conjunction 'however' usually means 'but'. It can precede or follow its clause or come after the first word or phrase...

    Range Rover Supercharged

    Seems a reasonable question to ask whether the supercharged RR could be impoved upon, or whether as has been suggested that I leave well alone. Quite a few around here and most appear standard i.e.'out of the box', unlike so many other marques. If the rich arab kid's are not having them...

    Price of a Series Truck Cab?

    If you get the right person yes, had one of mine advertised for sale and got the usual bunch of tyre kickers just looking for a day out round my place. What is it that drives folk to try and pick faults with a 30 year old vehicle complaining that a mate told them this is not good, thats a...

    Even more annoying questions by me :)

    Correct.......trapped water becomes the electrolyte which dissolves the zinc in the hard to see bits. Engineering solution would be to prevent that water/moisture getting trapped in the first place, but them we are talking about 'Land Rovers'.:)

    Even more annoying questions by me :)

    Galvanising is not actually corrosion resistant, zinc looses electrons quicker than the metal it is applied to and oxidises.The zinc is slowly consumed over time, but as long as some remains it slows down the disappearance of the metal parts
