OK, we are smashing our heads in on this one. 2004 Defender, 15p Engine Cylinder head has been replaced at some point with a 2006 dated head. Car came in with a cam lobe badly worn (on injector cam lobe) Fixed that (replaced cam and injector cam follower/tappet assy). Found debris in sump, so...

Hi all, I'm looking for recommendations for a place to repair Disco 3 / RRSport modules:- In particular:- Body control Module / BCM / Passenger fusebox module (or whatever the damn thing is called...) Instrument Cluster. Any recommendations for a good, trustworthy repairer? Cheers, Mike

Quick question. Series 1 2000MY Freelander 2.0D L series. Bottom end is toast, so I'm trying to source an engine. Will an L series from a similar year rover 200/400 fit? Thanks in advance. Mike.

It's part number time! The car is a 50th anniversary D90. 4.0 V8 The engine mounts on mine are shagged, so new ones are needed... Anyone done their engine and trans mounts - what did you fit and were there any problems? I put cheapo britpart mounts on my RRC - all the mounts were the same, and...

Series 3 rebuild underway, lots of good news that back up the seemingly genuine 31k miles. Axle part numbers are:- back axle 90243435d Front axle 90164983e These would seem to be right for a Series 3 88" RHD. But the front axle is about 1" wider than the back. The wheels are all the same type...

A mate is restoring a nice swb s3 he has bought for £300 It's all there, a low mileage sweet diesel, all syncros working, and an overdrive to boot and in not bad shape apart from the chassis, that is completely gone, and a badly juddering clutch. He's stripped off the body, and made a strange...

Ok - bit of an oddball question... I've got a 1991 RRC with abs, the axles are in very good condition, with good swivels, new bearings etc,. ( rebuilt them myself 40 k ago, and they are in good order) Will these axles fit my 1998 defender, which has a damaged back axle, and leaking front...

The body on my RRC is shot, so I'm breaking it. Keeping engine. But everything else is available - make me sensible offers please on anything you want - but I won't sell you a small clip from the door handle - I have not got the time to start stripping the whole car down to component pieces -...

Hi, I'm gathering the bits to rebuild my 90. Now looking for brake discs and pads. I've suffered Britpart discs previously on my RRC ( they delaminated at speed - not fun.) Pagid discs at eurocarparts are about £50 a piece for the front, but I am seeing some discs that are half this...

I'm refurbishing the axles on my 1998 90. Will be fitting new poly bushes. Are the britpart ones any good?

I'm working on fitting air springs to my camper, It looks like RRC front or rear air springs will do the job, but I'd like a dead set of springs to mock up the install. If anyone in Gloucestershire area has a set of dead RRC air springs free to a good home, I'd be very grateful. Ta, Mike

I'll be breaking my RRC soon. I'm having the engine, trans and LPG parts out of it, but will either break the rest, or sell as is. Ideal for a Dakar converison. Anyone looking for a rusty rangerover body on a very good chassis? 1992, last of the non catalyst cars. Good chassis, brakes...

Defender 90, with 4.6 v8, standard 4hp22 and lt230 Can I use a 2wd rolling road, if I take off the front propshaft and run with the centre difflock in? ( taking it easy in the lower gears.) Is this sensible? I have a 2wd rolling road around the corner from my house, so it would...

Hi, I'm about to start tinkering with my 1998 v8 defender. It's running the GEMS ecu, it's a standard 50th edition. Not got it running yet ( bought as a project) Will normal obd readers work with it, or do I need something specific? Thanks, Mike.

Hi all. I've gone and done it - bought a 90. It's a project that needs a new chassis - so I'll be putting my 4.6 v8 in it. I have a lovely sparkly Richards chassis, and will shortly start building it up. I'll be rebuilding every bit that I fit - first up are the axles. What's the best...

Hi there, I've got a very good drivetrain in my '91 RRC. Looking for a 90 (1996 to 2000 my) possibly with rough mechanicals. Before I do - can I use my RRC axles on a 90? What are the differences? Thanks in advance, Mike.

Hi all, My rrc body is rusted to pieces, so I'm thinking of a v8 defender. I've seen lots of defenders that have obviously had a disco or rrc power plant fitted - what are the implications of this re: insurance. Is it not a modified vehicle? How can I tell if it has been re- engined...

Hi all, After 10 years of absolutely sterling service, my 1992 Classic has just scraped through the mot. It needed a little welding, but there is significant rot in all the usual places - too much to repair, so this is the last year for the vehicle in its current guise. Problem is, that the...

Been having alternator belt problems for a while. Fitted a rebuilt engine 3 years ago. Went to a 4.6 engine. The heads are off a later engine. All seems to fit ok, but I can't seem to line up the pulleys properly - thus I'm wearing out belts prematurely. all the bracketry fits ok, but it...

Ok - it's for a classic rangie - but the same discs go on loads of landies too - so I'll give it a try here. Anyone have a good supplier of rear discs? The Britpart ones delaminated while braking Hard at speed. Sort of fun for a momant (not) Have allmakes and bearmach prices - any good...
