    Series 2 Series 3/ Defender wiper motor compatibility

    Can I have some advice please. Two years ago I changed the original bulkhead on my 1962 3a to a refurbished one from a later 1969 model with the rack type windscreen wipers. The motor has now burned out and I want a replacement. Is the Series 3/ Defender one a direct replacement for the later...

    Series 2 Suitable clutch after 200tdi conversion

    Thank you all for your replies. When the Tdi engine was fitted a Series 3 bellhousing was used as it made the conversion easier by using a S3 slave cylinder as well. The 2a went in for it's MOT yesterday and I was able to have a good look for any dampness or signs of fluid leak - there were none...

    May I have some advice please. Seven years ago my 1962 Series 2a 2286cc petrol was converted to an ex Discovery 200tdi using the original 2a gearbox. The diffs were changed to 3.54 to 1 from a scrapped Range Rover last year and now clutch slip has developed quickly on a clutch which has covered...

    Rattling truck cab rear windows

    Can I have some advice please. This topic came up for discussion many moons ago and I wondered if there's anything new on the market to solve the problem of rattling truck cab windows yet. I thought there had when I saw an advert for Garrison's rear window seal at £120+. Just as well that I...

    Got pulled over this evening...

    I have been stopped twice to ascertain ownership but remember if you feel unhappy at the location where you have been stopped, especially at night you have the right to ask the Police Officer to proceed to the nearest Police Station and for you to follow him there.

    Series 2 Roof bars for a 88" hardtop

    Has anybody got any recommendations as to the type of roof bars I should buy to fit the hardtop on my 1962 2a, please? I need to carry ladders with my 2a because my daily use pick up needs gearbox work and will be off the road for a while. Will an universal pair of adjustable roof bars fit or...
