Hi, does anyone run their Series without a front prop? how’s the steering? I’ve not done much more to mine for quite a while as I’ve been finishing another car off, however before that I found my steering to be wayward. I don’t expect it to be great, but it was not good, so, I have replaced...

Just fitted mine. Seem ok so far.

New is 181mm

Success! I’ve got the relay out of the chassis… at long last. A bit Heath Robinson granted, but using parts of my press and the engine lift I set up this. Moved a little. filth… Started the clean up….

Mines 164mm. I’ve ordered a new one too. I’ll let you know what that measures…

Brilliant thanks for that, they do seem “better” but wasn’t sure. Maybe they are pre oiled… another thought, do I need to use a thread lock sealant for the bottom bolt that acts a a drain hole? It would seem to make sense otherwise the oil will just run out past the thread maybe, or does...

That seems safer, I just need to get it out of the chassis to do it that way, otherwise it needs to be the scary method… out of interest, I have two sets of bushes. Both seemingly from Land Rover packaging, but look quite different. Which should I go for or is it likely to not really matter…

Awesome job! I now have the parts, unfortunately I’ll be building mine back up in situ..

I had ordered a britpart worm and nut, however apparently they’re unavailable (probably stuck in the suez or Brexit or Covid etc) so it’s been refunded and cancelled. It’s a sign to not use britpart! So I’ll check these guys out! Thanks

Shaft’s here. Looks ok do you guys mind telling me if you paid for mail air for about £12 or standard air for about £23? Package shows cost was 9.90 euros… don’t mind paying for packaging etc, but more than double is a bit steep!

No obvious problems specific to the chip, although I’ve not driven it much… bit stiff but that could’ve been the relay or numerous other things. the pitting is similar on both so, logic would say use the non chipped one I think. rebuild kit is britpart anyway, so I guess that’s as likely to...

Hi, stripped the steering box. Found this…. So, stripped a spare box to check that one. No chip damage however the bearing race is pitted. Thoughts on how useable it is from the photos below? Or, buy a replacement which seem to be britpart. Any experience with these? Usually it’s avoid, but...

That’s good news. mine’s still at Heathrow :-(

Ah yes, at LANGLEY HWDC… Heathrow…

Me too..

Should’ve ordered some bushes for them maybe?

I’ve now have confirmation of it being shipped and a tracking number FYI. I’m sure they’ll be in touch.

Hi, yes, got an email. Also I can log in and see the order on my account described as “processing”.
