Hi, So whilst I've been away at Uni, my dad took my Landy in for its first MOT since being rebuilt. It failed on the near side front wheel bearing. But I put new wheel bearing in during the rebuild so it can't be because they're worn out. So I am thinking maybe something is too tight or too...

Hi, currently there is about 30-40 degrees of play when turning the steering wheel before the wheels begin to move. So I am trying to adjust the steering box (No play in the ujs). I've got the 6 nut Gemmer power steering box. The I've removed the locking nut but the threaded shaft with the...

The old one was not a two part one. In the end I just forced it and it seemed to just about go one. Probably will pop off soon but at the moment, it seems to be good enough :). Cheers

Hi, I purchased what I think is the correct cable to replace the one that broke. I've got a 1987 (D reg) Landrover with the original engine, transfer box and gear box. From this I ordered the speedo cable with part number PRC6022 however when I come to fit it, the metal square cable is about...

The wiring isn't an issue it's just the connection to the water tank. I imagine I'll have to plug the old hole and make a new hole so a cheaper pump will work. I just wanted to check on here if anyone else had encountered the same problem and had another solution :). Cheers

Excuse my lovely clean thumb nail!

Hi, So for some reason the pump doesn't work for the windscreen water jet. Removed the pump and tested it by direct wiring it directly to battery and nothing happens, no sound or anything. So I imagine its fooked. So anyway, the parts catalog says part number DRC2713L however the ones for...

Yeah turbo, knew i read it somewhere :D cheers

Ahahah it was just me being stupid :D It can only go on one way! It was the turbo to manifold gasket that can go in two orientations and I know have read that the raised side must go on the uppermost side.

Turbo man, they may well have but this was the part that came in my order from LRdirect :).

ETC5898 | GASKET TURBO ELBOW>INLET MAN | Land Rover | Defender 1983 To 2006 | Britcar (UK) Ltd This is the gasket in question. There is a trough/peak center thing in the middle. you can make it out on the photo. Profile looks like this --^--

Hi, Quick question, the gasket from the turbo to exhaust (land rover 90, 1987) is a metal shim type one with a raised centre 'bit'. What way round does it go? I.e. raised side against the turbo or raised size against the exhaust? I've read the answer somewhere, but have forgot and can't get...

Cheers for the responses guys. Although it seems it will not be an issue, I have decided it'll be best to just get a full set of the same size and it's one less thing to worry about :)

Angle grinder :D

Is it because the Hub cap will stick out of the center piece of the alloys? cheers

Ah that sucks, cheers Marmaduke! Would it be 30mm spacers?

Hi, So i decided not to go with them. Decided its best to keep an eye out for a full set of goodish tyres on alloys. May work out cheaper in the long run since i'd have had to get them fitted and balanced and then spend time painting my steel wheel. Because I've a disco rear axle, so have disc...

Cheers for the response guys. I've found a part worn set that has 6mm tread left; insa turbo rangers 235/75 r16. Going to have a look at them this afternoon and decide if they're worth the £100 he is asking for. Seems a bit steep to me but don't really know...

Hi, quick question, will putting 225/75 r16 on the front and 235/75 r16 on the back mess up things? I know there is not a huge amount of difference in the size but want to make sure I wont be damaging anything! Got a 1987 90 with original running gear except a discovery axle at the back...

shame, thanks anyway.
