@dag019 Spotted this. Unsure if the site they purchased it from still live It gives you the idea of what can be done https://www.the-t-bar.com/forum/22-cjj-s-guides/93532-how-to-fit-a-modified-alternator-adjuster

I have never considered a smooth belt. Will go and have a look what I can find. I have tried serrated bolts and washers but made no difference hence looking at other options. I will take some measurements and buy one of the turnbuckles along...

I know and I am on my second new alternator pulley for that reason, but am beginning to get fed up with it. I know it is not just me and is quite common. I was looking at the second AC position alternator mounts and if that would solve the...

if you are dexterous enough you can do it through the ashtray hole rather than removing the whole dash top. But if you are replacing I would advocate for mounting spray bars on the wipers and fitting a y-piece in the washer hose and feeding out...

This is where I have mine for my discovery 200tdi using the original TD filter housing and filter.

Feel free to say this is a foolish idea, I am spitballing here before comiting to anything. I have a discovery 200tdi with a 100amp alternator, unlike the defender 200tdi, the alternator sits on a sperate belt, the setup works very well but I...

Little car ramps will probably not get it high enough to be comfortably wash the underside but will be better than sat on the ground. There should be a flap over the rear light already but it stops at the bottom of the body and not cover the...

For anyone else looking to replace swivel balls, the one using 606666 bearings top and bottom is FRC7065 which was superseded by FTC5366. Based off that I assume FTC5105 is for the railko bush

Buy or make yourself a set of large floor ramps. I got mine off a chap who made them for his military trucks, is just angle and flat strap welded together. You can also make you own little mud covers rather than spending out for the...

Follow up question, is the casting the same on the later style hinges as pictured above? Can you swap the modern "sealed for life" pin for the old fashioned brass ball and spring bolt affair? Or did they change the design and it is an either or...

Thank you, I assumed the lower two were supposed to be the same. The lower red one is one I had in my spares box, the upper white one is an original from my 1988 station wagon. I assume as long as I get a pair the same it doesn't matter what the...

I have just noticed the rear door hinges on my 110 are not the same. They function and work correctly with no issues. But I am hoping to get a pair at Malver next week to rebuild and paint so I can continue using the vehicle. Are the hinges...

Far to complex a setup! Pic taken from my Morocco trip, couple of hammocks is all you need.

Another vote here for a 300tdi as the engine you want. but in tersm of the body style it very much depends on how much of a camper you actually want and how many of you there are. You can get demountable camper bodies to fit in the back of a 110...

No idea on recommendations but when a friend had his bulkhead repaired (foot wells and top corners) it was significantly cheaper to get a mobile welder to come to him and do the work than it was to take the vehicle to a garage. He then stripped...

That is definitely going to be a problem once the door top touches the new doors seal, but currently we are not even that close! I did wonder that but I think it is just the photo. I had these apart to rebuild and replace seals and they sat flat...

I have some strips of Ali so could try a strip along the front edge and see if that makes any difference.

That was my thought. But not sure how to tell. It’s an original Ali door top with an SP panels door bottom. But that’s the same as I have with all four doors.

Do you mean the rods themselves? I made up stainless ones when I fitted these door tops but as these are the later style ali door tops the rod is removable so bending it should be possible as long as I get the orientation correct. But surely it...

You would need to remove the door seal and have a carful look. that might be caught early enough that it is just surface and you could get away with a rub down, rust converter treatments and some new paint. However you may find when you remove...

Can anyone help with how to align the door top on split doors. I am happy with how to align the door as a whole, an although in the pictures below the alignment of the hwole door is not perfect that is not the issue. I have same issue with all...

Hi Mike, not sure where you are seeing this. Suspect it is just a fault/bodge on some sites, as they only want to use one type of tyre sizing, e.g. Width/Profile/R/Rim These tyres should be 7.50 x 16 Meaning they are 7.5" wide, with what should...

They should be a captive Bolt plate with nuts rearward. I replaced mine with 20mm stainless bolt which was a fiddle to install but less of a fiddle than getting the rusty captive plate that just spins out in the first place!

I would say our inner cable sits in about 5mm from the end of the plastic clip. Remember aftermarket stuff, in general, only ever sort of fits.

If you have HD springs at the front but then don’t have extra weight at the front e.g. winch etc. you will likly be sitting high at the front. Potentially if you just have a factory front end without heavy extras you would Be better with standard...

The bouncing of the speedo is due to the cable not moving at a constant speed. The speedo cable is a twisted cable and can act like a spring, as it bends around in the outer sheath you can get tight spots, resistance or binding. Not enough to...

If you are wedded to LED you need to spend real money to get good quality ones. The cheap units themselves seem to be full of reliability issues. Even once you have good quality reliable LED light units you then have the issues pointed out above...

Seems Edge is ACEA C3 spec, ie pretty std stuff. Mannol 7715 on ebay, 61 quid for 20 litres, under half the price of the Edge. All people need to check is the ACEA spec of the oil, and they will be just fine.

So the chassis has a chassis number on it and that matches the v5? Something is properly amiss if that is the case. is the chassis number itself authentic, has it been hand stamped or that part welded onto the chassis? If you have a chassis...

Another vote here for Ashcroft, they have reconned both my box gearbox and transfer box several times. Last time I used them I dropped it into them (local enough for me to do that) and it was delivered back to me a week later. The reason they...
