Hi chaps, need some help please. 2.5 n/a 110. Changed the timing belt and tensioner on my mates 110 for him, I used this guide;https://forums.lr4x4.com/topic/7880-25-na-timing-belt-replacement/ I lined the timing marks up and after I fitted the belt wound the engine over on the crank with a...

Now i'm sure some of you old farts(like me) can remember when water pumps had grease nipples on them. Ive just bought a new water pump for my mates 2.5 na and the water pump has a hole where I assume the grease nipple used to go. Is there ant reason I could not tap a thread into the hole and...

Mines started leaking. It's a 2.5 petrol. Are the twin lipped versions the ones to go for? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LAND-ROVER-RANGE-ROVER-V8-OIL-SEAL-FRONT-CRANKSHAFT-VITON-DUAL-LIP-ERR6490G/391831818559?hash=item5b3aff113f:g:qIEAAOSwIdpZ22DL

Hey chaps. Friend of mine has just got a 110, the rear springs are buggered, siting very low, fronts are fine. He tows a sankey field kitchen and has the landy loaded as well. He has asked me to find and fit a new pair of rear springs for him. Landy just has rear springs-no helpers fitted...

Mate of mine(think of the kenny everett diy character) has managed to have a bit of a wiring burn out whilst fitting a spotlight switch. He has sorted it all out but the fuel gauge has stopped working. He has asked me to try and fix it. Now I really do not want to take his dash apart and be...

My mates seris 3 petrol is on my drive leaking like a sieve! I'm pretty sure its coming from gearbox/transfer box. I asked him about it, 'been doing it ages'!FFS. As a quick bodge, can the gearbox and transfer box be filled with grease? He is looking for a new g/box/t/box.

Couple of friends came over last week, 1 of them has a seris 3 lwb and the brakes needed looking at. Mate fitted new cylinders all round and shoes, tried to bleed the brakes- usual story-bloody nightmare! Could not get the air out, 1st pump to the floor then the pedal came up. We ran out of...

Hi chaps, Been doing some work on mates seris3 brakes. Ive come to the conclusion I need a pressure bleeder. Ive read good reviews about the eezibleed system, but does any of the caps fit a seris 3 fluid resivior? Its the long round type, rather than the flat type. This type...

Found this in my dads garage. Brand new old stock. On the box it says ford, however, after a quick google it seems it also fits the 2.6 seris landy. It also looks like it would fit the 2.25 as it has the adaptor plate fitted, but cannot be sure. Thought I would see if it is of any use to...

Right chaps, I know this has been done before. In the next few months I may have a windfall comming my way;) At the moment I have a 110 with a 2.5 petrol in it, I go to MV shows all over the country in it, but don't use it as often as I would like because of fuel costs. Ive been looking at...

It comes up alot about fitting different seats to a 110/90 and losing the underseat storage. Here's how I did mine. I am not saying I am an expert, or what I have done will suit everybody. By pure chance I was chatting to a driver at work and he said he had just bought a rover 220 turbo...

Hi, Ive got a LT77 with the dreaded outputshaft 'clonk'. Until I get a chance to fit another gearbox, could I put a heavy gear oil in the transfer box to help quieten down the clonk? Something like this maybe; Silkolene RHINO 140 Classic Gear Oil Your thoughts.
