I wish I could find one, they are not to bad to restore, every panel bolts or screws on. Though if you keep the original 2 star engine they are a thirsty beast,

I have done a few V8 conversions on Series motors. The best way is to drill out the spot welds of the two inner panels in the foot wells and weld them back in further out, then make a new flat panel to go in between. Looks factory when done. As stated above a 6cyl bulkhead dosen't help

When I was a lad it was common to search for Rover P4 diffs of 4.3:1 ratio but on a series 4.7's and an overdrive is best. some good info here. Land Rover gear ratios

Broken converter flexi plate ? hence no CKP signal and no drive. You need to start investigating, if the starter don't turn the engine remove it and see what is going on.

It could be any number of things. As Datatek says the most common is water ingress to the NSR modules. If you can hear audio part of the system is awake so check the power and grounds to the screen and also the wake up feed from the CJB. I have recently fitted a new screen in one which was £5K...

Yes, I had a UR Quattro at the time with K jetronic, I took the metering head of with all the pipes and injectors and connected it to the machine, opened the flap and watched until all the injectors were spraying as they should. Being a mechanic was so much eaiser back then.

I use to use one years ago, it was just a high pressure pump and tank which we connected to the fuel system, pulled the fuse for the vehicle pump and then ran the engine on cleaning fluid. Worked good too.

If your fluid level isn't dropping the new master cylinder is faulty.

I have just hotsprayed mine with synthetic, I used 1 ltr etch primer on the bare metal, 3 ltrs of primer undercoat, 3 ltrs of gloss on the body (had some left over) and 1 ltr for the cab (again had some left over) I didn't use any thiners in the paint but used 5 ltrs of gun wash to clean up...

As mentioned above it is most likley to be broken springs in the 3rd 4th syncro, if it has been forced into gear the syncro might be twisted. It is a straight forward job to remove the bell housing and the syncro and fit new springs, won't cost much either if you do it yourself. A pic of a 3rd...

this might help none metallic colour

If you are struggling to remove a drop arm, take the box off, put on the floor and wack the arm in the middle with a lump hammer. It usually takes no more than 3 hits.

Hi guys. I haven't been in the workshop much, the mother in law has copd and is proper circling the drain. Understanably the Mrs isn't to happy so whatever they need I try and be there, hence not posting much. However I have done a few jobs. I fitted switches and warning lights to the dash. I...

That wear on your intermediate shaft brings back memories, I have changed many that looked like that. Jai has a 1 ton box, would be perfect for trialing.

Very common failure, I have changed two last week. Most dealers keep them in stock and it takes about 10 mins to fit.

Well done it is a credit to you, makes me want one.

Have a look at the height sensor, the rubber end on the link rod splits.

These Defenders do have a speed limiter and a CAN bus between the IPK and the PCM on which the vehicle speed is broardcast. I would get the speedo fixed first and take it from there. I have seen a few of these with stripped splines on the shaft between the gearbox and transferbox but I haven't...

The temp sensor is at the back of the cylinder head, this is hard wired to the PCM from where it is broardcast on the CAN to the instrument pack. I have seen some faulty instrument packs. Best thing would be to Datalog the temp from the PCM and take it from there.

I used to have a 86" an it never had a roof on all summer rain or shine, i would fold the seats down when I left it and kept a waterproof jacket in the underseat box. i drove it in some proper downpours and never had any electrical probs
