Off roading at the weekend and lost all drive to all wheels. Centre diff had packed up previously. Pulled the rear halfshafts out today - All fine. Pulled the diff out and the little gear (is it a planet gear?) on the diff pin was in pieces, so that explains the rears. Both front and rear...

Running a 3.9l v8 (could be a 3.5 i don't know how to check) ran it very hot last week after losing the alternator pulley (whoops). Fitted a replacement alternator and topped thye coolant up and took it for a spin. Took a while to start then ran ok until i got to a junction when it died. took an...

I have a 1977 range rover. I need to replace the alternator but the new terminals are different. There a re thee terminals on the back and i am stuck on two of them. I have a brown wire and a brown and yellow wire, anyone know which goes where. What happens if I put them on wrong way round...

I'm guessing theres a few on here who have bobtailed a range rover, but it didn't come up in my thread search, so here is my question How difficult is it What approaches are there Roughly how long does it take (I appreciate that this depends on how good a job is made) Any pitfalls Thanks...

I have a load of S3 parts, so here is my question (S) Will a series 3 hard top fit a 90 (I heard from landyboy that the diff between a 88 and a 90 is th ewings but wanted to check :) sorry jon!) Why would someone fit a ford tranist 2.5d turbo into a 90? ok its a series 3 forum, but i'm...

I always used a 90 for towing long distances in the past and for a short while (wash my mouth out) I used a bitsa mushi...however I have this question: What will a series 3 petrol or diesel tow (and I mean in your experience not what the book says, although that would be a start - I think thats...

I'm Gutted My Sherpa engined Landy with Rangey axles is through the MOT apart from 1 weld. Unfortunately that weld is on a steering component and they won't pass it. Heres the problem. Range rover axles, running on leaf springs. The rear steering track control arm (whatever its called, the...

did i miss sodbury sort out? i heard it was at beaulieu this year..may the 18th, but then someone said aril the 5th. Anyone know for sure?

Just picked up another land rover with an overdrive :) I want the overdrive to swap for my noisy one, but want to keep the donor landrover mobile. Does anyone have the appropriate bits that I could buy for a consideration? If theyre available new does anyone know where from I'm looking...

My Land rover is actually quiet enough that you could hear a radio in it...so I'd like to know how others have fitted them. My V6 has the stereo slung under teh dash with speakers in specially fabricated mounts that go by the back lights. My Sherpa has a shelf in the roof which could hold...

Just swapping the truck cab roof for a hard top I have lying around, I have replaced the seals around the base of the hard top where it goes onto the tub, but can't recall if there is supposed to be a seal of any description at the front. I have vague recollections of having such a seal but...

As per my other thread, the sherpa has an IP leak. The engine is I believe a 2.5 and its out of a sherpa van. I need to try and source a replacement IP and I wondered from the vague description above whether anyone knew what it was fitted with and whether its used on any other vehicles. I can...

Sent two for MOT this week, my daily drive (sherpa) failed on hub assembly, steering assembly, washer jets and a fuel leak, they quoted it at 260 including the MOT which I didn't think was too bad but on investigation the fuel leak is from the pump. See other thread. The other one which I...

I did a quick search and couldn't find the answer to the above so I just wondere dif anyone knew roughly how many series 3s and earlier were left, maybe info from the dvla or something? Another forum I am on did a listing for triumphs a few years ago and it was scary how fast numbers were...

cut out the sherpa gearbox crossmember today, its either hit something offroad or been jacked up on it and caved in.....on balance could have plated it - woul dhave been quicker. The replacement one looks good on there though. Got to weld the cross member in front of it as well, but thats...

off the top of your heads...does anyone know the diff ratios of a standard series 3 and of a range rover (i'm guessing a 73 one). I have driven my 'new' diesel landy today and it feels pretty slow compared with my old one, top speed is certainly less - per sat nav -I just wondered if its the...

you get a 'new' land rover and the gears disappear 5 miles from home....after a while i got second, but it popped out on overrun, eventually limped home at 19mph...... symptoms: can't engage gears, neutral feels very notchy, like the selectors are out of line....clues?

Well not exactly...13 litres of diesel, 5 litres of veg oil. tescos finest at 81p alitre from tesco express. Filled up in their car park :) But I did the mile home and all is fine (probably hasn't mixed itself up much yet, but we will see) My other landy is on its way to being fixed up so I am...

so I have been under one of the series today (project peugeot lets call it) and the rear cross member is sound, may have been replaced, but where it joins the chassis its full of holes. I reckoned it wanted a cross member with extensions (£50 from paddocks) or even one including the spring...

**if this should be in a different area, please let me know and I will move it or at least learn for the future! ** I am after an overdrive selector lever. Mine has snapped (before I owned the car) Let me know if you can help, what you want for it with postage etc...pms are probably easiest...
