I can't remember exactly how much I took out. I'll take a photo in the morning if I remember. Are you keeping the TDI oil cooler? Or series oil filter?

Back of the head, back of the block.

Seriously though. You've a brick with huge tyres and very low gearing using an engine designed when petrol was cheaper than water. It's not going to be competitive with anything, bar a petrol HGV.

They're great on fuel. They love it.

If your want economy, buy a Yaris hybrid. Or a Dacia jogger with camper insert.

Including jerry cans? Or standard tank? Think it's 20 gal. MPG is from 5 to 20, depending on road, load, engine and gearing. Say 12? For a V8. 20 for a diesel.

Richard hall has a kit that ensures the carb is ethanol resistant, he reworked the Indian knock offs to be decent. He's on eBay. Glencoyne engineering.

Think so, the suffix A had a different reverse gear, and you've to change all gears to match, if you can get them. Get the parts manual out and start writing down the parts you need.

Fix the vinyl.

Earth lugs gets my vote.

'71 series three bulkhead around the vent:

The concern being that the relay can sheer, but the manual nature of the steering makes this impossible. Thus putting electric PAS between the steering wheel and the relay carries risk. Which is why so many go with hydraulic PAS that replaces the relay. P38a steering is a good option. Or...

Is the power steering pump powering the shaft, yet still using the relay?

I'd go nuclear on it. Including ordering lots of shims. Reason being parts supplies are drying up. A major manufacturer of series box parts went bust recently. Plus air freight....

If the sump isn't entirely flat then adjust with a Landrover service tool such that the flange between the holes touches the block first. That way the bolts will tighten the gasket throughout.

Right angled screwdriver.

Series part will do.l

Gasket with a very, very thin bead of sealant. Nothing worse than pulling ropes of sealant out of an oil pump strainer.

No, RR original. Started as a 6.2l. increased capacity to power the air con fitted as standard in the very late 60's.

Okay. A multimeter is a great tool. Don't need a top brand, something £20 or so will do. It will tell you if you've got 12 (or 24) at a wire. So you can see where the electric stops. That, with the wiring diagram, allows you to find what's not working.
