I have had ongoing probs like yours. I file down the braking material...usual just the part of the shoe that show contact marks with the drum. Have to go back a bit sometimes...crap aren't they.

Heard of lots having trouble with it...you screw a bolt in...if the bolt is snug it will act as a piston and put pressure on the diaphragm...which boost the fuel supply which is what is does as the turbo send extra pressure to it....req more fuel. Think Richard Glencoyne mentions it on his website.

Steve its supposed to be left with a vent to the atmosphere...otherwise you will prob get odd results. I just cut the pipe on mine leaving around 6 inchs....pointed down toward the ground....nothing inside to get dirty. Or you can fit a filter of some sort...but it should not be plugged.

If you have FWHs fitted lock them once a month for a few miles the get splashed with oil then...a few lock to lock turns as well.

I'm not sure they are even 16inch.

Look ok....maybe better than some new ones...as somebody else said....lookout for rough bits on the chrome that could nick the wiper seal...if you find and just smooth off with a very light file.

Before you mess with the timing...the pump boost pipe from the old turbo that goes to the injector pump....how did you terminate it at the pump end....this is important.

Has the heater box been by-passed? Hard to tell with those pics.

Water will flow into the heater is the thermostat is open or closed. If the valve near the front of the engine is not fully open water will not flow around the heater body. Just looking at your first post...says Santarna....do you have one of there engines fitted...if so there could be...

Real smart truck.

Well plenty of off-roading and bumping off and on lots of kerbs later. I think some people may look for problems that may not excist...dont believe everything you read in the news papers. Ok you barreling down the motorway in your landrover with your wheels that contain inner tubes...on...

No guys I don't think you thinking this though. And please no need to been downright rude....I have owned and driven landrovers for 50 years. I remember tubeless tyres coming on the market...no so call safety bead in therose days. Ok lets try again...you have tubes inside your tyres... you get a...

No its not....I am aware of the beads....nonsense. How the bloody hell does a tubed tyre stay on if the beads are so important. Been on mine like this over 20 years...

Fitted tubeless 205x16 to my tubed type rims many years ago and never looked back...no tubes fitted Std Series LWB rims. My mate runs the same...not a problem... won't come off the rim believe me. Much more reliable than have puncher prone fast deflating tubes...and a big weight saving. Nick.

You would end up with even more heavy steering that you have now...dont do it.

You can hear a bad wheel bearing if you spin the wheel. Nick.

I will have a look Ed and get back...do you own an old series now?

Your welcome...glad you found it interesting. I used to go into Landrover dealers here in the UK when I was a young boy...and collect the Landrover literature...I was keen on them even then. I still have it all...inc the production line tags that came attached to mine...I bought it new in...

the 2.25d was fully rebuilt at 100.000mls...it laster a further 100.000 mls...and was then kapt...bore size over +60...so I found a 200 engine to fit. After removing the turbo...box has also been rebuilt twice all by me...nobody else has ever touched it....in its whole like.

Yes...but both I have needed to patch a bit...the chassis has had its rear x member and a few outriggers...spent most of its life outside.
