I have recently purchased a LHD 2 Door RRC with a 2.4 VM Engine. I have not been able to test drive it yet, I was told the brakes were iffy and I live on a hill with a sloped driveway so its chocked etc. The vehicle runs and I have a strong clutch and brake pedal, the brake pedal gets firm...

I have just bought a 1986 2 Door that has had the back seats removed and boarded out like a van. I have ripped the boarding out and I am trying to locate all the seat components and refit them. I have bought the seats and frames but am struggling to work out what the locating brackets look...

Hi, I am after a pair of front drive shafts and CV joints for a late model RRC. It needs to be the type that has the removable dust cap in the centre of the drive member. Ideally shipped to me or close enough for me to fetch. My axle is empty so if you have all the nuts, washers etc too that...

I have purchased a late model RRC project that has a late model 4 bolt PS Box fitted, the vehicle came with no engine or gearbox. To make life easy for myself I bought a V8 3.5 15D Carb engine with a Torquflite 3 Speed Auto. The engine serial number shows it would have been from a 81-85 RRC...

I have a Freelander 1 Facelift TD4 and want to know if you can replace the upper strut mount quickly by not removing the shock/spring, just from above etc. A few weeks ago I bought 4 new shocks and 4 new mounts and took them to my local independent garage to fit. All was well until last week...

I have just purchased a RRC with no engine and gearbox. It is a late model that had the 3.9 V8 with GEMS distributor-less system. It had a scrap block in it which I have removed, I kept the 2 mounts that bolted onto the block. I am wondering what bolt on easy choices I had engine wise. Since...

I have a mint condition bobtailed RRC chassis with a very expensive rollcage welded on sat doing nothing in my workshop. I have tried selling it on eBay for ages and have not had any serious offers so I have decided to do something with it to make it more appealing. My idea is to build a 100"...

I have a trialer based on a series 2a that has been modded by a previous owner. Most of the non standard parts like the 200TDi are from a donor Discovery 1 Auto. I have a damaged intercooler and need to replace it like for like with whats already fitted. The body of the intercooler is what...

Can someone offer me some pointers on how to tell visually whether an 88" chassis is Series 2, 2a or 3. There is no stamped VIN as the dumbiron was replaced. Its a rolling chassis which has been shot blasted, galvanised and painted. It has been offered to me for a good price. The seller...

When I bought my Rover P6 2000 TC it had a seized engine, while it was soaking in diesel I set about buying new ignition parts for it, such as a new cap, points etc. When it was unseized, these new parts and some fettling got it running a treat. I have since sold the P6 and recently bought a...

I have recently purchased a Series 1 86" with its original gearbox, but the vehicle had no engine. So I decided to buy a Perkins 4.203, the one I plumped for off ebay included a LR adaptor plate. When the engine arrived I whipped off the adaptor plate and discovered the plate is much bigger...

Hi, My Series 1 restoration project is going well and I have turned my attention to a couple of little jobs. I want to wire up the water temperature gauge, my gauge is probably out of a Series 2 like several other parts on it. When I got my truck it was a dismantle abandoned project and...

I have a 1958 88" Series 1 that has got a homemade bulkhead that has no footwells. I bought it as an abandoned project. I have found Series 1 54-58 footwell repair panels at Craddocks but they are nearly £100 plus postage for a pair. However, eBay is littered with repair panels for later...

I have had my Facelift TD4 about 6 months, it was a dog when I got it which is why I only paid £400 for it. I have mopped up many faults and fitted many new parts but have never really had a sustained period of faultless starting. Cold Starts being the most annoying. I had paid for the...

Thought I would share this tip, not sure if its widely known but hey it worked for me and the results are great. As you can see in the photos my headlight were dirty / milky / scratched on the tops on both sides and no amount of washing would shift it. I took my wife's advice and used some...

When I bought my 2004 TD4 Facelift Freelander it had a missing latch on the big rear seat. I was able to pull up the red button on the top and unlock the seat but it was always a struggle. I decided to sort this out when I saw a new latch and cable on ebay, still in its genuine LR bag etc...

My 2004 TD4 Facelift was running ok but I was trying to sort out the warm start problem. I decided to replace the glowplugs, which of course involves taking the air intake manfold off. I tested the plugs with a meter and found that 3 of the NGK plugs we faulty, confirmed by the fact that they...

I have had my 2004 Freelander Td4 Facelift for about a month now. Having fixed all the serious issues, I have now drawn my attention to the ride. I have 3 symptoms : Firstly the MOT threw up rear shocks as an advisory with no explanation as to why but they look ok, no leaks etc. Secondly the...

Having fitted an EGR Bpyass Kit a few days ago, I decided to take my 2004 TD4 SE for a long run, after about 20 minutes out of the blue the exhaust started blowing. I pulled over and spotted the problem instantly, the end of the EGR Pipe that I had fitted the blank onto had sheared off probably...
