If it is ex-military, the date of first registration (assuming it's DVLA) will be much later than it's year of manufacture.

I replaced my tank a while ago and got a full set of fittings, I don't remember having too many problems removing the old bits. I do remember thinking that I might have struggled if I had used plain nuts and bolts rather than the proper captive parts.

I am replying to this old post because I had the same issue and this post came up on a google search. Hopefully it may assist someone else having the same issue and like me, is having a little panic. The front layshaft bearing, (the lower one) is a sloppy fit in the bolt on housing on the front...

Thanks for your replies, it's in bits at the moment, just awaiting a couple of bearings. I managed to remove the input pinion without moving the mainshaft, but only time will tell if I have to dismantle it further to re-fit the pinion.

Thanks for the reply, I'm trying to convert a TD5 R380 to a R380 Stumpy without destroying anything expensive.

Check the mixture adjustment, there is a small pin under the float chamber, it pushes the piston up slightly. If the mixture is correct the engine revs should increase slightly, then return to normal. If the revs stay increased it is too rich, if it slows it is too weak. Are both carbs opening...

I need to replace the input shaft on a R380 gearbox. I know that I have to pull the box apart and remove the gear on the back of the layshaft, but do I have to disturb the gears on the rear of the mainshaft ? I'm hoping that I can get sufficient movement by moving the layshaft forwards to allow...

Admittedly not a Land Rover, but when I was struggling to start a van after a top end rebuild, despite following all the injector bleeding ritual, I tow started it a short distance and it cracked up no problem. Could be worth a try if you have a mate handy with another Land Rover.

I have a LT77 gearbox in my 110, I have noticed that when I remove the drain plug / oil filter housing on the 5th gear extension housing very little oil comes out despite the main box being full. Is this normal? I have always drained the main part / front of the box first previously so always...

The parts book lists pressure reducing valve ANR1415 for a disc brake 110/130 without ABS. I would be very surprised if any non-abs system did not use a pressure reducing valve, it is very dangerous if the rear brakes lock up under heavy braking.

Have you tried running it in gear with the transfer box in neutral? If it still makes the noise then you can discount the transfer box and U/J's.

Thanks, I think that 750's are being phased out, I will be swapping onto 235-85-16 when I change, just need all four to wear out at the same time. The Sahara's seem to be on back order with most of the cheaper suppliers at the moment, which is why I was considering alternatives. I think I will...

Looking at replacing my tyres on my 110. I currently have 750-16 Insa Turbo Sahara tyres, but I'm looking at fitting Insa Turbo Risko MT. Other than the 5hite name, does anyone have any experience of these tyres? How would they compare with the Insa Turbo Sahara tyres?

I do wonder how many Land Rover leaks are actually condensation? After all there aren't many joints above the gutter.

Weird stuff with electrics is (nearly) always a bad earth.

I used to drive an early 300tdi Auto, it was as flat as a witch's tit. They are as numb as anything and like driving a 2.5 N/A with a slightly slightly faster top end.

Clutch not disengaging. If it was working when parked up check the fluid level in the clutch mastercylinder. Assuming there is sufficient fluid and the clutch pedal feels normal, your clutch plate may have stuck to your flywheel. Try starting it in gear with the clutch depressed and the hand...

I would expect everything except the engine mounts to be the same. The TD5 mounts are massive compared with the 300tdi. If you can weld, welding on 300tdi mounts is probably the simplest answer, or find a rotten Discovery II and chuck a TD5 in it.

Assuming that this isn't you, you could email these guys, they had the same problem as you. http://album.sixappealwheel.org/index.php/Walts-Albums/Range-Rover-Commando-6x4/album07?page=4

So standard Range Rover master cylinder with a non-standard piston?
