Like I said, about to move house and new item fitted this morning. Am clearing garage and spare starter motor does not figure in my list of things I need to keep. I agree it should be refurbed but I am not in a position to do it myself at the moment.

Genuine Bosch / LR starter motor ERR5009. Every now and again (one in ten?) it clicks and fails to spin. I would rebuild but imminent house move means replacement with new item carried out instead. Rebuild and keep as quality spare? Owned from new and has covered just 56399 miles. £20 ono...

Two pairs of SGS 6T axles stands (3T per stand), four stands in total. Height range 370mm to 560mm. Bought for my chassis swop last year (cost new £41 / pair), these are now surplus to requirements as I have a third pair for normal use. Willing to split and sell as two pairs. Collect from MK43...

"What did you think of the spafax mirror? I have debated fitting some for ages" Not certain about them hence why they have now been on / off a couple of times (currently sitting in bubblewrap in the garage). Generally they are good and slightly bigger than the standard LR heads so if you have...

Climair clip into the window channel. Had mine fitted for getting on for 10-years now with no problems. When you first fit them you will find the glass a little reluctant to fully close but the felt soon adapts to the deflector and the window closes fully again. I was worried that they may...

Now sold. :D

Pair of Life Hammer tools for getting yourself out of a sticky situation. Keep within arms reach (one for you and one for your passenger). £5 the pair. PM replies please.

Now sold. :D

Pair of 90 rear tub stays. Surface rust but will clean up just fine. £10. PM replies please. Willing to post (at cost) or collection from MK43 (Cranfield Beds).

I fitted a Demand system to my 300TDi 90 last year. Nicely made.

AWR5988 looks to be the correct number for RHD but his photo is of a LHD which I believe is AWR5987.

"As you can see i have been coating the nuts and bolts with Lucas red sticky grease. I am doing this as a little experiment to see if it will add some protection to them. I might even incorporate a coat on all bolts when i do a oil services." I have always made sure that all fixings are given a...

As the VBS Encore looks so much like the ZU this made me look into whether the ZU was still available. It is and while more expensive is rated at 1400KG against the 1200KG of the VBS. These are my ZU's (long gone now) showing how the drive-flange is visible. A great tough wheel.

Challenger wheels are steel but your link is to VBS Encore (which in turn look to be a copy of the ZU and of course the whole lot are Mach5 lookalikes). As above, there is no centre cover and they are designed to show the drive-flange. Over the years I have seen several attempts to cover the...

My old 2.5NA D had the manual ignition switch and that required 5-10-seconds in mild weather and 15-20 seconds in the winter otherwise you were wasting your time. That said, as long as you pre-heated it then started on the button and ran perfectly (when it failed to catch immediately I...

How about Richard Hall at Glencoyne Engineering (Banham)? Never experienced him first hand but he certainly writes (LRM) like a decent and honest person and is LR through and through.

"Also is 30mm a good size or would you go wider." Why do you have them fitted (i.e. is it to allow non-standard rims to be fitted)? Do you need them to be wider?

"@Litch Your dash looks modded e.g. the hex head bolts. Does it pull out from the binnacle or just attached that way? If you want to get to the dials etc do you still have to remove the whole binnacle or does the front pull away? Sorry for the interogation :eek: been working behind mine and it...

I can tell you that the Durite sender is the same thread as the Defender 300TDi because that is what I am running (and very good it is too). Based on the assumption that 200TDi & 300TDi senders are a different thread then yes, you will need an adaptor.

As I said, I bought mine off Ebay but it wasn't listed as for a 300TDi or anything like that, it was a generic adaptor and you have to choose the correct threads at each end. Bought it from a place that dealt with specialist parts (kit & classic cars etc). Having had capillary gauges in the past...
