Hi Mike I'm rebuilding the gearbox for my SWB at the moment No special tools needed and the parts are very cheap from john Richards surplus For all the parts needed I'm looking around £140 in total Not bad for what will be a recon box

James I want to use the defender short bell housing so stripping the RRC gearbox to replace the constant pinion shaft I may as well replace the parts you mention at the same time. Just to clarify is ftc1428 the part needed for a lt77S to be fitted with a defender original 2.5NA lt77 short bell...

The price of defender gearbox's I think are very high,I visited Ashcroft and met with Dave Ashcroft but he was very busy and I got the feeling he was not really interested,I guess it's easier to sell recon box's than selling parts to people wanting to fix their own gearbox's.

A question for any gearbox experts (James martin), what input shaft do I need to fit a RR lt77s to my 110 which had a 2.5NA with a lt77 gearbox still fitted. It has a weak 2nd gear synchro and also the gear ratio spacing is not good now I've fitted a 300tdi. The replacement gearbox I have is a...

I don't see why it would be a problem. After all people have been fitting all sorts of engines in to land rovers over the years. Take the example of the mazda 3.5slt engine which was a very popular fitment in to land rovers a few years back. That engine was originally fitted in to a commercial...

Boost pin is a better way of getting more power than just turning up the fuel screw,which will result in over fueling at lower rev's. I fitted a cheap boost pin and it fitted perfectly.£12 99 ebay special.

I can tell you Avon rangemaster tyres are very good on road wet or dry I throw mine around country lanes,as for mud they are as good as any unless you try to compare them to full on mud tyres.

Had a bit of luck at the scrap yard last week In a pile of wheels I spotted four 7.50x16 tyres stacked in a neat pile On lifting the top one up to check that they were land rover wheels and what size they really were I was amazed to see the top 3 all with goodyear g90 tyres were green deep dish...

I have avon rangemasters and they are fitted with tubes, they are tube type tyre and they have ribs on the inside. These are very old and have been fitted for years with no problems I was surprised as I though tube tyres would be smooth on the inside so not to wear the tubes. Very long lasting...

£18 buys a hardened steel pin as oppose to the none harden stainless steel pins The grade of stainless steel the boost pins for sale are made from is still harder than the mild steel unhardened pins plus the grades of stainless used to make the pins is still more corrosion resistant than mild...

At £12.99 I can replace if it does wear lets say after a year or two All boost pins for sale are made from mild steel or stainless I've not see any for sale made out of stainless that is any harder than the pin I bought Mild steel or stainless it's your choice I can say it's a very easy and...

Mild steel corrodes £12.99 with postage IS cheap But then I could have paid £55 for a boost pin made out of what ?

I fitted a boost pin from ebay the £12.99 one. Looks well made. The results are very good, more pull through the gears,well worth doing.

I think the mazda engine is about 130 hp so not a massive amount so over gearing it will only help on motorways. My engine conversion was done by M&D many years ago. The only way to get more speed with less engine rpm is to fit a transfer box from a early 3 speed auto range rover and that would...

A tdi is 2.5 and a mazda 35slt is a 3.5 and if a 2.5tdi is going to do 30mpg a 3.5 is not going to be more economical. If you read the reply I made earlier on you would see I own one of these engines in a range rover for over 9 years.

30 MPG is more like it and that's on a good day.

Mazda 35slt engine in my range rover classic with zf hp4 is the best sounding and performing diesel in my experience Owned this range rover with this combination for over 9 years.

I may have a couple from range rover classics,I think they are the same as a discovery. Located in Cambridge

I have two if your interested Make me a offer

I think from my experience you will be fine.
