I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to gearboxes so forgive me if this is a stupid question. In the next couple of months I plan on taking the gearbox out of my 109 to give it a refurb, the first time I changed the oil in there a synchro hub spring came out, the last time I changed the oil another...

Morning all, I've recently bought myself a full tilt for my 109 and have been toying with the idea of making my own door gutters, brackets and possibly sharks tooth rail too (I need to check the width of the bender in the workshop at work) as if possible I'd rather not throw the best part of...

Was driving on an A road this morning, doing 40 mph (40 limit) and I had a bus driver indicate and pull straight out infront of me from the bus stop set back from the carriage way, obviously being a bus driver means that indication gives you right of way...

Morning all, I've got a 1979 6 cylinder petrol and over the last 2 months or so it's started idling fast when the engine is warm, it doesn't bother me much as I don't spend much time sat idling when I'm out in it but I should probably find out why it's doing it. It starts up fine every time and...

I've been reading this forum for a few months now so I figured it was probably time I started being sociable and said hello. My knowledge of land rovers is nowhere near what some of you guys have but I'll see what I can do to chip in. I have a 1979 series 3 long wheel base truck cab with the...
