They rot in the same places as a disco. Hard to find a nice RRC that has not been butchered. Saw 1 the other week pushed out of a bush make £5k no engine or box(was a 2door but still rotten)

Today I did the massive long job of cracking off the big nut on one of my rear trailing arms... I thought I'd see how tight it was as the front bush is well past its best and needs replaced. It turns out the answer is not that tight...

We live in EX16, so I'd like to think we could come by. Assuming the FL2 doesnt go into limp mode too many times on the way there! If I tow it there with the 110, will the 110 get firebombed when I arrive? : )

I had a session on the handbrake this morning. It's been getting less effective lately and as I suspected, oil has been getting inside from the transfer box. I'd got a new kit of shoes and springs so I put those on, and a new cable. I got a new...

Lead gets it of 😃😃

Who cant find the throttle pedal?🤣

Need flywheel for timing pin.

Engine type would be helpful for people to answer your question.

Or that the earth lead has come loose and the battery is earthing through the handbrake cable?

Changed the radius arm bushes on the drivers side to match the passenger side I did the other week. Had to cut one of the bolts off as there was not chance it was coming out. Went back together no problem which is good. Britpart yellow polybushes...

Somewhere I think, when I start on it I'll be sure to make a thread, if not for anything else than the motivation from the well wishers! 😊

They have a long power cable length normally ,my relays are on the upright by the radiator for easy acsess. Main power lead is fed off the starter solinoid,saved me going back to the battery. Switching is done off the old headlight circuit on to...

Thanks, not much time for it at the moment but it’s always there when I have got time! I’m missing my blue one a bit so will be glad when this is done but we are a way off yet!

Use a set of jump leads to test. Also can use the leads as extra earths,then if all good just put some more on

If it cranks by hand,all is free. Have you used the same starter motor? & is that free ? What type of starter is it?

Older wiring has trouble passing the current needed, have you a headlight relay fitted to help ease the job ?

Can you fix any thing to zip tie /metal strap these under the bonnet.

Mate! Just caught up on this, spectacular thread, and work! I'm in the middle of doing up a house that we're living in, and keeping my 90 on the road and family life etc etc is taking up alot of time right now, so I'm in awe of your motivation...

Just an intermediate update. The infrared thermometer arrived this afternoon. Cylinder head 79 degrees at the back 78 degrees at the front, top of rad 68 degrees. Fitted new Britpart temp sender - this sent the dashboard temp gauge just below the...

That would mean you got a later speedo cable for an earlier motor. The later speedo drive ends are very small

Used up some old yoga matts, bit of carpet glue and some paint for some much needed sound proofing 👌🏻 works a treat still going to be noisy with M/T tyres but at least I can chat with passages now lol

Not a simple pull out but it is just a push fit if I remember. A lot of wriggling and tapping with needle nose pliers and screwdrivers. There’s an o-ring that seals it and it can grip quite well

Can you drive a bit with the speedo head out and the cable disconnected and watch to see if the cable is rotating?

No cable in the middle is correct.

Is the clickeing the glow plug relay? Or is yours under the bonnet Nothing else clicks near my fuse box(early glass fuse type)

You would enjoy that… the mounts are all in the same places and floor pans etc same design.

If you want to sell, or fancy me doing a commissioned job, let me know 👍🏻

All sorted. Replaced the a frame bushes, bolts, and the rear fulcrum. I have come to learn that heat, angle grinders, and more force than you think are required. All good fun!
