    Time Frame to Rebuild LT76 Transfer Box? Series 3

    Hi All, My MOT is booked for tomorrow evening, and low and behold I’ve lost drive to the rear wheels this morning. The prop shaft isn’t turning so I know it’s not the rear half shafts. Front wheel drive is working so I’m going to take a guess that it’s the RWD main shaft / or the flange. Can...

    What is this piece of paperwork for my landy?

    So after removing my land rover front dash I found a green piece of paper tucked inside one of the vents... I think I've attached a picture correctly, so this paper has my vehicle specs, with what spec and extras were chosen. It also has the correct vehicle ID number that is shown on my...

    Chassis Leg / Spring Hanger / Dumb Iron Fabrication ?
