My transmission brake parts are real original 1963 and now worn out and I have problems with oil seals from time to time. I'm also fed up with the palava changing the shoes when I get the oil on them; the disc is high up and I've never had any damage to that area at all. Had the vehicle in...

Hi, Has anybody replaced the drum transmission brake with a disc one; does it break the rules for historic vehicles and is it any good?

Just finished a rebuild of my SWB 1963 2A that we have had since 1965 and now debugging the thing. The other day I found that although when pushing down on the footbrake all the wheels brake okay, I can push harder and the brake pedal goes to the floor. Today I replaced the master cylinder with...

Solved it. The two new parts (listed previously) from a well known vendor in Birmingham fitted perfectly and the 11 toothed starter motor fitted as it should. The problem was the flywheel housing that had previously been fitted, even though it had identical casting numbers to that of the new...

Hi All, Now restripped the flywheel and flywheel housing of the 2286cc 5 bearing 11H engine The flywheel is an ERC 6392 and the housing is actually an ETC 5927 (ETC6393). Can someone confirm that these are ok together and that the standard 2M100 starter motor should fit okay. Looking at my copy...

I agree the engine is an 11h that was fitted to a defender 90 and was fitted with the 9 tooth pre engage starter. unfortunately it has transpired that the flywheel is an earlier flywheel probably ERC6392 and although the 9 tooth starter will start the engine, it does not mate correctly with the...

Thanks guys, I believe I know what the problem is. As this was a very late series 3 engine fitted to a 90 landrover, the flywheel housing is slightly different to accommodate a 9 tooth starter motor to fit the flywheel (ERC6408) that fits both the 2.3 and 2.5 engines and someone has put a...

The engine is an 11H, the flywheel housing has been added later and starter access is under the exhaust manifold, hope this helps, regards Mike

Hi James, The teeth are the same on both sides. regards Mike

H james, this shows the teeth. will do a second one showing the flywheel through the housing aperture

Hi James, Thanks for the fast response. This flywheel has no leading edge on either side and is a new one. The problem I currently have is that I have already mated the engine, gearbox and everything together. It is now obvious that I have to split it all again as the flywheel is too far up in...

Hi All, I have a lovely late 5 bearing 2.3 petrol engine that I am installing in my old series 2A landrover. The engine runs fine when started and looks to be fitted with a series 3 flywheel housing and a new flywheel. The guy who supplied me the lot fitted a 9 tooth starter motor which works...

Hi All, # Many thanks for the responses. Put the oil down the cylinders, started up with the starter i was supplied. fitted an oil filter adaptor so I can use the later oil filters and half filled one with oil. Engine started and runs nicely. But now have a starter/ engine housing/ flywheel...

Hi, I'm currently updating my old 1963 landrover series 2a with a replacement 5 bearing petrol engine which has been supplied 'dry', i.e. no oil in the sump. Does anyone know how to put some oil in the filter and preferably the replacement fuel pump before I turn it over. It has been standing in...
