I'm replaceing the wire cables that go under the axles on my Sankey, and yes its a pig but the old ones had turned to dust. Can someone tell me the gap between the axle and the tube with the cable in? And yes I should have measured it before I cut them off........

I'm about to fit some new door tops and I'm fittng the window channels and ally bits. I have 2 spare bits of ally, about 10" long x 3/4" wide and flat. Found a set in my leftovers box from last time so I must have not known then either! Where do they go?

This weeks episode about building the replica (continuity?) XKSS seems to have been filmed in the JLR rebuild centre. Its worth watching for the panning shots and background where there are cleary quite a lot of Land Rovers of various types being prepped for sale...

This is a great series of videos about stripping an engine by someone who has never done it before and just takes their time. The back story is that the car has been mapped, the engine has blown and the dealer is refusing to touch the car so she decides to strip it down herself and video the...

OK bear with me, this guy has done some interesting things, its pity there is not more technical detail on how. He's claiming 5x the original HP of 70 so around 350. Look out for the engine data to a tablet, discs all round and rear A/C. And the grill has not been moved forward!

I'm looking for ideas. My bonnet mounted spare fills up with water and now ice which dumps onto my screen once I reach 50, ok I can see one obvious answer but I got a used cover off e-bay, its really good quality but its no use as it balloons up and I can't see where I'm going. Yesterday I...

I'm about to order a set of new door tops. Mine is a 1970 S2A. At the moment it has S3 type plastic catches under the windows. I'm trying to decide whether to opt for the same or fit the S2 catches above the glass. My choice is about usefullness, safety and security. We do quite a bit of...

This is described as a 67 Series 2A with a lot of Series 3 parts.....I'm thinking All series 3 parts. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Land-Rover-LWB-Diesel/323791750283?_trksid=p2485497.m4902.l9144

Just come back from an overnight trip, around 200 miles mixed motorway down to single track. Getting a lot of judder pulling away with the transmission jumping about. Clutch should be good, and gearbox was ovehauled a while back, but I don't recall fitting new gearbox mounts. Engine mounts...

Found this on e-bay while looking for tyres. Could be a bargain if you need one as it looks like an orginal. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Land-Rover-Defender-wheel/123504298030?hash=item1cc16e082e:g:SWsAAOSwaXpb4xPu

A great day out with 100's a classic vehicles and a good turn out of Series. An autojumble and in past years some very reasonably priced 2nd hand tool sellers. I usually come home with a stock of spanners, sockets and air tools..... Last year some mini-pipe wrenches (50p) an aviation torque...

I'm just about to buy a new tube. I run 235/85 16s and the tubes are around £20, but the 7.50 - 8 x 16 tubes are around £10. Are these really the same tubes or am I missing something here (and not just £10!). What size tubes are others running? thanks

I have the S2A type heater tap - the brass one with the little handknob. Its starting to leak and there's no obvious way to get it apart. Its 1/2 BSP and the same as an early Morris Minor. Anyone know how these are made? The knob comes off but how does the spindle come out?

I know the 2 bottom bolts to the chassis bracket are nuts and bolts, the top one apprears threaded into the steering box,but i can't get a good line of sight onto the rear one, is it bolted or threaded into the box? thanks

My Perkins seems to be quite hard on fan belts, its a single 1/2" belt and a 70A alternator. The alternator pulley doesn't get a lot of contact angle and with the low revving engine the belt needs quite a lot of tension or it slips. I think I'm getting 6000 miles out of a belt if I replace when...
