If the £300 ones don't work, try these: NOS Land Rover Series 88 SWB Series 1 2 2a 3 Rear Mud Flaps & Brackets GLR304 | eBay at that price they'll be twice as good!!! :eek:

It might be possible, looks like it would be a pig of a job. It would all depend on whether you can access and depress the locking pin(s) that hold the switch to the barrel.

"...the MOD and Land Rover Ltd came to an agreement that increasing the torque setting of the wheel nuts to 125 lb/ft compensated for this..."

I think Wolf wheels have a greater offset requiring longer wheel studs. I have wolf wheels fitted (prior to my purchase) to my ex MOD 90 and the wheel studs aren't quite long enough. My MOT man comments on them each year, the MOD and Land Rover Ltd came to an agreement that increasing the...

I think you're right, a series one tilt is slightly wider

An interesting project, more info on the engine here: https://www.aronline.co.uk/cars/rover/sd1/engines-rover-sd1-six/ Looks like it mates to a lt77 box so possibly similar stud pattern to a series box.

Found it: Proceedings of (c6-friends.nl)

I read your link and it mentions a study done in South Africa, I have read that study (many moons ago - if I can find it I'll post a link) and as your link states adding 2 Stroke Oil does little for a diesel engine.

Have you sorted this problem yet? My money would be on the flasher relay, the older units had 2 terminals, the modern ones have three ( the extra terminal is an earth), try a new relay, they are fairly cheap. You could pull the old unit apart and clean up the connecters etc, I've found they...

I would have thought so, This switch advert appears to support this: LUCAS 35288 128SA LAND ROVER PRC2734 IGNITION SWITCH ONLY FITS 90/110 12v or 24v 5012445108598 | eBay I'm sure a qualified vehicle electrician will be along soon to give you a definitive answer.

It has to be OVER 40 years old before you can apply, in the April following its 40th birthday IIRC. So 10 weeks time.

Build date. Some Land Rovers aren't registered for years after being built. Ex military ones are a good example. Your V5 logbook should have your date of manufacture on it. If not or you think it's wrong, you can get a Heritage Certificate from Gaydon Museum.

If you want to change it's taxation class to 'Historic'. You need to tax it at the same time. That means you need to have it insured and MOTd (hence - on the road). HOWEVER if it is over 40 years old then it may be MOT exempt (providing it is not substantially modified - but that's another...

Yes I think you are right

900x16 tyres were standard fit to 1 ton (109) models and LWB TACR 1 Fire tenders used by the RAF. They 'fit' but they will raise you're gearing. 1 Ton models had lower ratios in the transfer box IIRC. You might have to alter steering bump stops to stop them rubbing on the springs on full lock.

At those prices I would imagine both vehicles are fairly 'sorted' and in good condition. If you don't know exactly what you're looking for, take someone with you who knows a bit about series Land Rovers. Its very difficult to say which vehicle would be better without seeing them both. And...

So what do we think? Genuine 110 prototype or a 'bitsa' knocked up to be tax exempt? Land Rover 110prototype,1981 109 station wagon body coilsprung 200tdi T&T exempt | eBay

Would the aerosol 'protection wax' from Toolstation and the like work?

The old lightweight is suffering due to damp. It wont start unless I dry out the dizzy with a hair dryer. I used to use 'Damp Start' ignition sealer but its not available anymore. Car Plan do one, has anyone used it? Is it any good? Or what else are people using to seal ignition systems?
