how are you quantifying "too hot" ?

condensor

that roof (inside) just looks like original perfect limestone paint, weird ! rear tub cross members are rusty but they dont look gone gone (only judging by the pictures) that said the military 109 have some serious payload and those things are whats carrying it into the chassis. invest in...

you'll die of old age before a honing tool will remove the lip at the top of a bore. but there is a more aggressive tool called a ridge reamer for that exact purpose.

thanks mr S1 :)

finished the welding, also had a decent wire wheel on all the other surface rust, plus a bit of hydate80 rust converter, lastly a word out to our sponsers Steve a.k.a gridman for donating a tin of landrover limestone coach enamel :D supplied to him in error (label says matt, contents is gloss)...

i know the engines arent particular powerful or cheerful, their unique selling point or feature is doing hundreds of thousands of hours slogging away with no trouble. yours doesnt have this USP. so is it worth spending money on it when that could be a.n.other engine ?

May 2015 this happened ! this morning i unbolted the drivers door, i removed the bolts from the door side rather than bulkhead. i'm under no illusion why the doors are floppy mind you (rust), just knuckling down with the work temporary door! transferred to the work bench (2 gold stars...

110 was released in 1983, so might be that

halgoen are actually the same amount of watts as a late model sealed beam. but due to them running hotter the inrush current is higher (the spike in current when you ask the filament to heat up from cold) to be honest even using relays on sealed beams you would see an improvement in visible light.

check your exhaust manifold joins, i.e to the head, to the inlet manifold hotspot, to the downpipe. air leaks in the exhaust can cause secondary combustion (with unused fuel) which causes the popping.

i've seen the (structural) sill rail for sale somewhere, galvanised. need to try and think where. would be YRM, or sp4x4 or bits4landy, or pegasusparts

visited the non functioning reverse light which had gone a bit melty inside after quite a bit of effing and blinding at rusted whitworth nuts and bolts i got the metal cover of the rear of the lights. inside was yet more scotchlock heaven, the earth wire for none function reverse light was...

i didnt spot the parabolics last time, they look ok and no horrible lean

if you are saying dipped beam work ok, but when push the indicator stalk for main beam you get no lights at all ? pop the lights out again and clean up the 3 spade plug (bend the H4 bulb tangs slightly so that they are under tension in the spade connectors and more likely to make good contact)...

the only environmental law regarding "clean air' was the crank case vented to the engine, which came into force in october 1977. for us this was simply an oil separator on the rocker cover, plumbed into the carb elbow. i've been through the official land rover workshop manual with fine tooth...

i made 85 posts in the last couple of weeks, answering questions and getting involved and will be using both forums, is that ok ?
