c-alex, To be honest I didn't measure the load before I installed the led's. There were a bunch of wiring issues to be sorted and some of the original lights needed to be replaced, so I went for a complete changeover. What I do appreciate is the increased brightness that the LED's provide. I...

I tried to get my original 35 amp alternator rebuilt, but no parts were easily available in Canada. I upgraded to a generic 65 amp unit (same as used on backhoes and other tractor type things) with no issues. I'm moving to a two battery system with a split charger and an AC voltage converter...

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy Wrenching for 2019!

The PAS box is in! Here are some pics of the installation should anyone else want to do the same. First shot is the bracket for the pump. The Alternator fits on top. Second shot is the comparison between the old 'armstrong' box and the new box. Third shot is the location on the frame where...

Rob, I don't remember exactly which seal I used as I ordered two different ones and chose the one that looked the best. I believe fitted: Rear Crank Oil Seal - OE Manufacturer ERR2532G I think that either the Dowty or the OE one would be fine, but the real issue is whether you greased the edge...

Thanks, Dickey. My rig is LHD so I imagine that my setup will be mirrored. The reservoir will end up where it ends up. Cheers, Colin

Thanks, Dickey le Frog. I would appreciate that. Colin

Awesome. My bracket has the slotted holes. One less thing to try and find! Thanks!

Like this? Is there also a tensioner for the PAS belt? Thanks, C

I am going to convert my 'arm-strong' 12J 2.5 NA to power steering, if possible. It is a bit of a bear to maneuver at low speeds in the woods and I am not getting any younger. I know that some of you purists will scoff, so scoff away! The truck is a LHD 1995 ex MOD with am MA serial number. I...

Have to replace the gasket for the water pump. When I took out the leftmost bolt some oil came out. Does this bolt block off an oil passage?

What a hellish job to do. Not difficult, but quite a process to get to the little bugger! Here are before and after pix with the old seal and the new seal in place. Cheers, C

Didn't know that there were core plugs on the cylinder head. I thought that they were just on the cylinder block. I would check sites like this to be certain before I remove any more: http://www.albrit.de/NAV.cfm?PAGE=343325&SPRACHE=EN I did not change them when I rebuilt my engine. Good luck. C

I bought a VDO gauge and electric sender from: https://www.cip1.ca/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=VDO-350-040 and the corresponding sender: ttps://www.cip1.ca/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=VDO-360-002 I attached the Rover Oil pressure switch to one of the t's to keep the dash light active...

Less than a week 'till this show. I am looking forward to seeing some unique rovers. Cheers, C

I always thought the second half of the speedo (100-200kph) was pure British optimism! My 12j's 68bhp and 1.67 transfer box might get me to 100 on a long downhill stretch if given enough time. C

Adam, Did you get this sorted yet? C

I have an exMOD Defender 110 with vented discs in the front and solid discs in the rear. Would it be better to rebuild old calipers with stainless steel pistons and new seals, or purchase new AP-Lockheed calipers and save on the rebuild time/hassle? These seem to be quite reasonable from...
