    Can this be fixed? Clutch slave problem.

    I just met with the welder, he says he can fix it but it will crack again. I think I am going to go new. How stiff is stiff? How do i fix it if it is hard to move? It is hot and dry here, everyting needs 2x maint on grease and lube.

    Can this be fixed? Clutch slave problem.

    Shipping is the real problem. I just paid over 100GBP to get the other parts here! I am on my way to see the best welder on the island but I don't have high hopes for getting this square again. Anyone have an oem part number for this?

    Gear oil drip from prop shaft to dif connection?

    Well I pulled the drive shaft and the total oil was about 10ml. No more came out and the vsc is very tight! It drives great now. How could oil work its way up there?

    True, but the dealer in Aruba can only get parts for US spec trucks. You can buy a 110 in the US. Mine is 1.8 gasser from Holland. They won't sell me parts! A-holes! Even when I give them the Rover part numbers they still say no returns, no guarantee. AND i still have to pay 40% tax!

    Drum brake clip snapped! Ideas?

    All, I was replacing my rear shoes, cyl ect when I snapped one of the clips that holds the shoe in place with the pin from the back. :mad: Napa auto parts can't source it for me and there is no dealer on the island. Any ideas what I can use? Were these clips used on any other vehicles?
