Hi all, does anyone know the thread size of the manifold to carb studs. for the life of me I can't find mine and don't want to spend £20+ to get new one from suppliers. Does anyone have a couple off a broken manifold? Thanks chris

Can I put some silkaflex down there or is that just futile? Thx

So I’m trying to replace the rear main seal and what a f***ing **** design. After much effort one side has now split. What are my options pls.

where does the servo pipe connect pls? somewhere on cam cover I assume? thanks

Okay thanks. Any photos of the size of hole you can get away with?

Hey 👋 I wonder if you good folks could help me please. I got a servo brake box off a later defender (i'm told) It looks like I have to cut away the top part of the bulkhead to allow it to fit is this the norm, or do I have a servo which will not fit/work? Many thanks

I spoke to Sandersons and they said they should be okay with standard dampers. However I acknowledge the good points made above. Therefore could you recommend some good upgraded dampers. I will not be doing very much off roading. Thanks.

Hi I purchased a set of these for my S3 and can't seem to compress the rear axle to fit the standard shocks. Do I need longer ones for these? If I do I'm a little ****ed off because a bought new standard shocks all around. Thanks...

I'm going to use gear oil as that's what they recommend. Thanks all.

1 pint then according to the manual if I have understood it correctly.

excellent thx. how much would you put in? 200ml?

so I would need to add some diff oil to those separately them? there appear to be a bolt that unscrews to fill. Next question would be to what level?

does the front axle oil filler, fill the outside parts as circled in red on the image attached? thx

Just got my V5 back. Car now historic tax so free. Bizarrely the car also has 12 month tax on it even though it is currently not insured. So much for them checking properly. I didn’t apply for tax just to change the class. Cars all in bit anyway being restored so no issue anyway mister plod!

okay thanks, mine doesn't have a dog on it and I bought this lock tool from Amazon for tenner and works well. Just wanted to confirm it's lefty l;ucy. So thx for that. No for that large piece of scaffold tube and a breaker bar LOL

Thx @Ratae. I'll investigate further. On a slightly different note. is the thread on the front pulley normal right hand thread, so lefty lucy?. As trying to undo it and it's not budging or perhaps it maybe be a reverse thread and I'm tightening it LOL!

on a slight different but related note. It didn't come with a distributor. Does anyone know which dizzy I need and does it matter if I get a later one with the electrics built into the side or do I need an earlier one. i.e will this fit? Rover V8 Lucas DLM8 Distributor For 4x4 Engine 1990

Thx. Will do although probably wont start the rebuild until later in the year. I will of course create a thread about it. Thx all

did anyone manage to get thread size for these. As I want to block off mine.

Thanks. They look just like brake unions so I think I just get some new ones and blank off use the pipes.
