Hello Chaps, I am trying to figure out how to get my 1988 110 to have the correct shift pattern for the transfer case. I have searched the internet and studied my parts manual and see that the shift arm and corresponding lever were 180 degrees out from normal. My shift pattern is backwards for...

Hello, Just picked up a new to me 200tdi and the number on the block behind the injector pump say 14L. I can't seem to find that in my travels on the internet. Can anybody shine some light for me. Thank you.

More questions for you guys/gals: I can't tell of any modifications but this is a 1980 Series 3 109 but has a full size window instead of the split. Is this a normal thing or a Santana thing? I need to replace it and would like to get one of the heated windscreens as next fall it will be in...

Hello folks, My question to you is: Is it normal for a 109 diesel fuel tank to take fuel slowly? I can't get to the first notch on the fill handle without it backing up in the neck and shutting off. Normal or clogged vent do you think? Thanks for the opinions.

I know this has been covered and I understand springs are handed but has anyone ever seen the drivers side compensation done this way? (LHD Santana). The spring perch on the drivers side is about 1/4" taller than that of the passenger side. Also the drivers side spring stack is 1/4" taller than...

Hello all, I have seen that the diffs from an early Discovery can fit in a Series 3. My diffs need rebuilt but and I was wondering if the ring and pinion from a Discovery will fit the Series 3 diff. My way of thinking is that since I have to replace everything anyway just put the ring and...

Hello all, Quick question on the transmission brake and its seal. Is there a torque for the brake drum? I looked through the pdf manuals I have and couldn't find one for the install of the drum. I am asking because I installed mine and just went snug until I could drop the split pin, the next...

Are these engines 2.5s? One is in my 1980 Series 3 109 and the other I have been stealing parts from. My Series 3 by the paperwork should have a 2.25 in it but this one is different from the vehicle as the wiring has been cobbled as well as the throttle cable. Thanks for the help.

Good afternoon all, I am here with more questions. Were there many types of overdrive units? I have this one below and am trying to identify it so I can get parts for it, namely shims and bearings. I have a pdf version of the Fairey Overdrive unit. Internally the shafts and shims are all in...

I started my gearbox rebuild adventure today. I could only go as far as pulling the seat box out though as I have 3 cracked ribs and can't bend/lift very well. I have a friend coming in the morning to finish the removal for me. The gearbox will be interesting as it is a bugger to shift into...

Greetings, Can you folks answer a couple of questions for me. What is the bracket on the back door? Not the missing one but the one that is currently attached and looks like it has small silver reflectors in it. Second question, has anyone seen fender flares like the one that is broken on...

I have been searching through the site and read to avoid Britpart. My question is where do you all get parts? My shopping will be mainly online as I am in Spain for a couple of years until I head back to the U.S. and then it will still be all online shopping. I can get some parts here for the...

Hello all, I just recently rebuilt my master cylinder on a 1980 Santana 109. It has the dual circuit with servo system. My question is this. Does the master cylinder port fluid to the front and rear at the same time or is it progressive. I notice it being progressive and seems to port the...
