The Haynes manual gives two different instructions for setting the Steering Idler Upper & Lower Levers. In section 11.9 it says they should be set at 90 degrees to one another , whilst at 11.13 it shows them set at 81 degrees. Can anyone give me the correct setting please?Thanks.

Also depends if your landrover is series 2 or before as they where 90 degrees for both.
Series 2a and 3 as per the diagram above

That's good to know. Thanks. Mine's a 3, Lightweight, with 2A bits. Its a '72 Reg, so I imagine they were using old parts up. It has S3 Headlights, but a S2A dash, with central ignition

Thought all lightweights had the dash in the centre?

Oh. Good point. Got any photos? Mines 72, and the dash I have for it has the key in the centre, so would love to see it.

So this is my 1972 ex RAF Lightweight dash in non RAF colours, which I will be changing in due course. Wiper motor cover missing, & non standard Indicator stalk obviousely.
