Yes, the end cover has shims behind it, you can take some out. LR helpfully seem to have put a mix of sizes in so you can try a few combinations. You'll need to stick the balls in with grease and do it up each time. There's a torque figure for the steering wheel in the manual. Basically you...

This has been coming for a while, key I believe is the emissions and environmental element. Changes (tampering?) with emissions controls will be a crime. In reality I think this crept in in 2018 but its only now getting enforced. This will come under the COP26 banner so I recon its...

Mine is under 2" at the rim and its not rebuilt, but everything is adjusted right.. Jack it up, get someone to keep rocking the steering wheel and see where the lost motion is. Something may be loose, my steering box was moving, check the drop arm is tight on the relay, shim the steering box...

The clutch mechanism on the S2A is very well made so its very unlikely there's a failure inside the bell housing. Compare the old and new slave cylinders and check the pistons are the same. As above, also swap the master cylinder as they wear.

Agreed. I ran 235/85/16 BFGs on std 5.5 rims for 5 years but when I needed a new set I bought a set of 6.5" Wolf rims. The 235/85/16 sit much better. The wheels cost me £140 for the set 2nd hand and I saved that by buying Yokohamas instead of BFGs. I think the BFG s are over priced, its worth...

I got prices for my one off Perkins manifold and really got the impression no one wanted to do it, they were making too much money doing Porsches and Ferraris. I've been looking at the component prices and they are very reasonable, £5-£10 per bend so I think I could build a manifold for around...

I think I would go for 4, spread the load and more safety margin. Tent looks great.

Jack up one wheel and turn it and count the rotation of the prop, then halve it. Check for oil fillers in the diff pans, Series have the filler in the diff not the axle, Range Rover diffs often have no filler as its in the axle. You can get a diff pan with a filler for about £25 but it has to...

Having been in a similar situation on the south Coast, a Sunday, 90 miles from home and a burst heater hose, I taped it up and did a search on google maps for "car spares near me" and it brought up an independent motor factors a few miles away. Made it with 30 mins to spare. He had spare...

Yes, I think it was the 3rd one. Two had not made it from one MOT to the next so faced with the choice of leaving it off or trying something different I opted to put the next one on with only the small end tight and set the larger dia to just slide. I got the idea from my Merc where the...

Do we have an answer to points or electronic yet? Its hard to answer without knowing.

The new ones last about a month. After the last one I put the new one on and only tightened the small dia, left the large one with a cable tie just tight enough to seal (ish) but loose enough to slip. Its done 2 years now.

Agreed, points or electronic? Try the condenser, just because they fail and they are cheap.

My mistake, I was looking at the bolts through the crossmember for the NATO hitch. While mine has a mil rear crossmember the drop plate is welded to it..

We have the Dormobile roof and in summer a roof box on the cab roof so were are 2..2 M and don't fit in most car parks. I use google street view to check, I also phone the local authority if its critical. Some are very good (Hampshire, they know all the heights and have a few spaces with no...

Check the prices in the US as post can be quite cheap and these don't weight much..

Out of interest I looked at the google reviews. A very high percentage are from people where this is their only review. Then looked at our local MOT place (which is good) for a comparison. Most reviewers have 10-20 reviews. Could be they are getting friends to post reviews?

Similar good experience with a set of wheels. I recon the 2 options are, shiply, or hire a self drive van.

As above, could lead to no end of hassle as the chassis number will always come up as a 110 for tax, insurance, MOT etc. Not worth the paperwork.

Had a look, they look like 1/2". UNF as the heads look to be 3/4 AF. I seem to recall looking at M12 and finding them a bit loose.
