Hello all, I am redoing this 2.25 petrol, and I find that the piston rings are probably very worn out. Can someone tell me according to these pictures if new rings are needed; or a complete new piston? Thanks! Personally i think new rings, since on the piston themselves they have a gap too...

As some of you have kindly helped me out on previous other rather scattered posts of mine, I figured it was only wise to maybe make a more "general" post of the stuff I am trying to do. Not only since it gives other members something to "follow" if they like, but also to contain posts and not...

Hi all, I bought a 3 bearing 2,25 petrol to restore. I have an engine stand, just not the bolts. Theyre 7/16 unf bolts. I have some on order, but i would like to start today and get it in the stand. I read on this forum that there are some in the bumper assembly or something? This true? Anyone...

Hi all, yesterday my landrover ran terrible. Stalling at idle and losing oil pressure for a short while after which it regained itsself. Checked the oil, DRY. Completely dry. While it was always full. So something is amiss. When I checked under the bonnet and filled it up with a litre i had, i...

Hi, I recently started losing clutch pressure; now to the point where I have 0 pressure and cannot use the clutch. I suspect there is fluid running down the pedal, but since it has rained heavily here; i cannot distinguish it properly from plain water. It carries so much gunk however, that I...
