You almost nailed it. ;) Rather than putting more work on the mods, the tech article creator could (be required to?) also post a "feedback/questions/corrections" thread in the appropriate forum and link to it in the tech article (being sure they are subscribed to the feedback thread) and include...

Probably the one near you, it's "up north" ;) About 6 miles from Boulmer. Or to keep the Rover content, the one where Mastora is.

I'd been trying to decide on a 4WD for a few years, looked at Jeep CJ's (I was aware of Rovers and admired/lusted after them but there was no dealer anywhere close), then Jeep J20's, then finally decided on an International 200 1 ton 4WD pickup, but decided I couldn't afford the $4500 price of a...

I made my own. If that helps I'll get a pic later, if no one has posted a TF install before hand.

I don't really get the "like" buttons a lot of forums are going to, or at least when there isn't a corresponding "dislike" button. As for the overall interface, it's not particularly obnoxious, then again, neither was the old one. I don't care for the banner bar always showing, but it's not a...

Ashcroft sells the stubby bellhousing I think you might need for it to fit up correctly. I don't know how well the shifter will work, but you should be able to turn up a shifter assembly from a knackered Defender R380 to fit to the one you want to install. I've never driven an LT77 so can't...

Are you able to inspect them before bidding? I came across reference to a news article where some Northumbrian Water Rovers were damaged by vandals/thieves back in Jan.

Unless you're planning on towing something I wouldn't install a tow ball, it will just be something to dig in on slope approach/departure.

I'll poke around on their web site and see what I can find, maybe they have a rep in the US or UK. Thanks, but no luck there. :(

I'm looking for a source for the heavy gauge flag terminals and haven't been able to find them. Anyone know a good wiring/lug vendor in the UK who might have them?

I've posted off and on a bit and realized I never introduced myself. Not a lot to say, I'm a 57 year old computer geek, though I've done a few other things over the years for money. None of them illegal or unethical luckily (I got fired from a job rebuilding turbos in the 80's because I refused...

That should do.

Land Rover, of course, has a special tool. I've used both a slide hammer and the method I've outlined in this link. 3-Bolt Flange Removal I highly recommend heat.

Not really. Even the cables on most winches are too small IMO. And yeah, those red handle switches don't have the capacity. An 8,000lb winch is going to draw anywhere between 350-450 amps at full load, so I consider the 250a switches too small. The more underrated the switch the more volt drop...

Thanks for the reply. My problem was that different sites seem to indicate differently, some imply all D1's, some say D1 through 1995. Microcat doesn't distinguish for the D1 based on VIN, though they do list the same head and bolts for the later D1 and also DII's, but don't list the washer for...

Why couldn't this have been posted in Dec, when I'll be over? :( You'd be able to call it sold.

Did Rover quit using the head bolt washers, PN 602098, at some point? My wife's '97 4.0 didn't have any. Or did the last person who had the heads off just not reinstall them? Is there anything special about them? Any reason I can't just use a high strength thick washer for 30 cents as opposed...

For a torque wrench, IMO consistency is more important than accuracy. You should calibrate pretty much any torque wrench in your garage, especially if it's new to you or it's been banging about for a while. There are directions online for the steps for doing it. Which brings me to why I say...

Don't look at it as, "this is going to be a bugger, I don't have a farm jack". Look at it as, "Oh my, looks like I need to buy a new tool. :) "

Might have a read here: Massive play in 1997 disco I Steering It was addressed to someone who knew that the ball joints were bad, but it all applies.
