Take that blend motor off, its only 2 screws and it pulls off. The drive is D shaped so you can't put it back wrong. However, don't turn on the ign until it's refitted.

I know it came out of military use in the year 2000, as you mentioned about the colours, I have noticed some bits of yellow around the rain water gutter area I enclosed a pic.

I've done a bit of experimenting, that's why I bought the set of Continentals... I wasn't sure if 235/85/16 would be too big (wide), but it works. I definitely can't be going any wider without power steering though... and still retaining its...

Knackered things that are clunky should be replaced, I guess! Unless the car itself is clunky, which might just be normal in some cases! 🫣

It smokes more than Snoop Dogg / Bet Lynch (reference depending on your age) : /

If money’s a bit tight, I’d probably hunt for a set of used Wolf rims and then slap some new tyres on them, keeping the old ones as a spare. That way you can gradually upgrade your setup without dropping a fortune all at once. Plus, it gives you...

Hi Keith, is that on the drivers door (RHD) and which motor, I have not had the joy of taking the drivers door lock apart as of yet, all the others though :)

Nevermind, just had a back and forth with Allisport. I do need the second connection, no idea if some later carb engines had manifolds with a radiator connection or if it some aftermarket manifold. Either way, Allisport will add the second...

Honestly, I wouldn’t risk sticking with that old engine if it’s smoking and guzzling oil like that. Swapping in a TDI sounds like the smarter move, especially if you actually plan on driving it regularly.

Fer some, crime pays.

Eye has just bin given a temporary installer id for me alarm, by phone, when eye asked if a self install hippo can have access for just their alarm, to the fing in the cloud that allows yer to monitor yer alarm remotely by phone. Asked if it will...

It's a weekend driver only, and right now I'm still resolving issues and building up confidence so not really going that far either. I mean really the continentals I have on right now are actually alright considering they're 14 years old. I...

I would imagine they could be hard and interesting in the wet, if used as a daily you might find the tyres start to degrade quickly.

Replacing my leaky heater matrix with a Nissens Audi one, but am (literally) stuck removing the old matrix. Not wishing to take out the dash, I have cut away the supporting frame as per PaulP38's instructions. All looks OK to slide out the old...

I see you have edited this post which I had already replied to, which is why I do not recall reading the be a man bit beforehand. Over here we call that sly or under handed, ie untrustworthy.

Ah if is breathing heavy plus all the other problems, then maybe it is time for a swap.

On the studs I'm not totally sure, I have read some comments saying they do need changed, others saying they don't (with drums). On my 110 there is about the same amount of thread sticking out beyond the nuts all around, all about 1-2mm so im...

Well, I just might have made quite an expensive mistake... Allisport has the new radiator ready, which great. Obviously, I ordered the carb version with a single breather. Well, something bugged me. So I checked. And while I clearly have...

as per my last post I would be very interested to buy one of these please let me know if it is possible. thank you

Hi Oscar, would it be possible for me to buy one of these? Please let me know cost and delivery time @ [email protected] thank you very much

I think a tdi is a smart idea - I bought it to potter around london with the kids in - ulez and road tax free. Its an ex-dutch army lightweight, that was then a company's mascot - think it was loved, had lots of sillys added, but needs more love...

Thanks for your reply, I'll check this out, but yes it has a white rear axle & convoy light switch, vin plate has the number 46-KC-31 which I tried but no luck!!

Ahh, I thought this was a second step for some reason. So for example you drain 4.5L at bottom of radiator and then the rest at the engine block drain plug. Kind of a useless video not explaining that. So that means I can drain the entire coolant...

+1 on removing superlock capability. In case peeps don't know, it can be activated by either the fob, or turning the key twice in the lock.

Them tyres are too old, they will have turned to wood rather than rubber, maybe if they were free but they are not. As you have found tyres are very expensive now especially BFGs. If you have drums you have to change the studs for Wolf wheels.

Plus credit card currency exchange fees, customs and import VAT!

Just remember the correct grade of fuel, it's diseasel type £m-

Bench seats are by their very nature unsafe, even with seatbelts. To cover yourself it's probably best to do what Land Rover did. Seatbelt mount rails come up on Ebay now and again. The brace to the rear crossmember is available new, YRM probably...

Hi guys. I'm new here & would like your help on finding military info on my Landy, I have checked on Merlin but nothing found, is there any other way I can check,?? Thanks

That's (another) new one I didn't know about. Just a case of snipping a wire or two at an accessible part of the loom or latch out job?
