I think an engine rebuild is coming. Roughly how much for a rebuild to replace crank bearings, big ends, rings etc? Thanks Ian

I have a LT77 still in my motor with 300TDI fitted. Thinking about a gearbox swap as its getting old and tired. Quite like the idea of a R380. Am I correct to think that a stumpy R380 is a straight swap for the LT77? Do I need a different bell housing or can I keep what I currently have? Thanks

What can be done to get more torque at lower revs. Friend of mine I RTV trial with has a 200tdi that just seams to have bags of grunt at no revs. Want to try and get more torque at lower revs from my 300tdi, what can I do?

Hi Pretty sure i broke a CV joint. Big bang from near side and no drive :( Have ended up with no steering lock either. I guess part may be jamming it all up internally so its a bit knackered. Struggling like hell to get the brake calliper off. Cant get any steering lock on to...

Sorry for the question, but what is the best way to fit? Would you use a gasket or sealant? Thanks Ian

Clutch was slipping last week so have been assembling all the bits needed to drop in a new clutch. I decided to get a newer clutch pedal also, the 300tdi one with the different spring to make the pedal a bit easier. Just put that on and set it up so the clutch pedal is the right height from...

What's best way to fix leaky seal in the main bearing cap at the back. Is a gasket available or is it better to seal with RTV? Thanks Ian

How much noisier does a heavy duty clutch make the gearbox? It's clutch time for me and read a few threads that mention the gearbox being noisier at idle and read this on the ashcroft website also. Is it going to drive me nuts? Where is the best place for a heavy duty clutch fork, don't...

Hi 300tdi is squeeling a bit, thought it was the belt. Not doing it all the time, and when it does it seems to do it when the engines under load, knock it out of gear and it stops immediately. I have done a bit of searching and tried the suggestions, penny trick etc. In fact the...

Speedo cables knackered so need to change it. Why did Land Rover make two piece cables, is there an advantage over having a single cable in one part rather that joined? Curious to know why before I she'll out on new parts... Ian

Got an annoying shrieking noise on my 300tdi. Only happens for about the first mile of driving. Stop and it a good rev it goes away and Its hard then to say where the noise is coming from. Have swapped the fan belt for a new dayco one, swapped the belt tensioner pulley as the bearing was...

Thinking of changing brake callipers as I think mine are knackered. Struggling to identify the correct part number. Mine seem to have 3247 4600 on the body but how does that match to the codes starting RTC? Want to make sure I buy correctly before shelling out my hard earned. Thanks Ian

I have read a few threads and am now getting myself confused. Steering lockstops are wound right in equally. If I turn to the left I get more turns on the steering wheel but the tyre is about 1/2 inch from the radius arm. Turn to the right, getting a little less lock but the right tyre...

If I use standard length springs and add +2" shocks can I keep the standard brake hoses or do I need longer brake hoses also? Thanks for any help. Ian

Rear diff pan on the rover axle i just bought is a bit knackered having wire brushed away all the crud. Been looking for a heavy duty replacement tonight. Seem to only find what look like britpart replacements that i assume are no thicker that the original or the Gwyn Lewis one thats 6mm...

Last few days my 90 is struggling to start. Used to just turn the key, no accelerator and it would fire up. Do that now and it fires then dies. Needs a boot ful of accelerator to start it and then it will run fine. Could the lift pump be on the way out? Cheers Ian

Not really happy with my brakes, they work but don't really feel like they are working 100%. Have checked the vac pump and that's ok, checked the servo to see if the pedal sinks a little when you start the engine, that the pedal stays ok if depressed and engine turned off etc and the servo...

There are loads of threads about the stuff in blue boxes! I think I need a new vacuum pump for my 300tdi and don't want to waste cash I something that might not stop me when I need it. I thought sometime ago that I read something that said a part number that ends in G is a genuine part...

Went for a quick spin, washed the billing mud off and headed home. Turbo started to whistle a bit ad I thought hmmm that sounds sporty :confused: One mile later and its really whistling when on boost. Have had the exhaust and inlet manifolds off recently. Is there anything obvious I should...

Just getting round to an oil change post billing mud run. Axles done. Decided to do swivels as well. Looks like they have had one shot grease in them. Do I put ep90 in or stick with grease? I thought older land rovers were better with ep90? Mind you it might explain why the swivels...
