    What the heck this is? Part info needed.

    Hi James, great hearing from you guys again, you guys are this forums priceless supporters. I looked at the bracket but it has tightly fitted bushings but without a shoulder/flange. This looks like a bushing as Quakerman suggested, it looks as though a washer and a bolt was on it. I usually...

    Hi Kwakerman, hope you a re doing great. Yes it seems like a bushing insert, part of it is clean as you can see in the pic which suggests that there is rubber is around that part which moves. Thanks for your reply, always helpful as usual.

    What the heck this is? Part info needed.

    Hi Mates, I have this part which might be related to the timing cover or housing, seems like its a guide with a shoulder, do you know whats its for and where it goes? I have looked at the manuals and cant seem to find it. Thanks Mates.

    Very Leaky 300tdi Defender

    Its better to clean the engine thoroughly with some de-greaser and water then check for the source of the leak, this will be more a more accurate way to seek the leak.

    Exhaust Manifold Stud and why LR did this?

    Those are ideal, not sure if I can get them here, might have to import. They will probably be better than what I bought since they will have the tensile strength but yet allow for expansion. Sometimes stronger is not better when some flexibility is needed, between two different metals which has...

    Exhaust Manifold Stud and why LR did this?

    About 1.8CM. The studs have more than enough length and threads to accommodate the manifold, gasket and self locking flange nut. I will use the grade 10.9 new studs and nuts I bought, they have to be cut, but the shoulder and length will be perfect for the manifold, I will use those instead.

    Exhaust Manifold Stud and why LR did this?

    Hi Guys, been working on my 110 Rebuild on and off and back at it again, this time until its complete, a few more months I hope. While working on my turbo adapter etc, I wondered why Land Rover only has 13mm of threads on the exhaust manifold stud, fitted into the head which has 26mm depth of...

    clutch pedal

    Been importing parts like crazy for my Landy including all new brake and clutch parts. I did some research last year on a servo assisted clutch. There was a servo which came from an MGB which seems to fit with some mods according to what I read, I also heard that someone used to make an...

    R380 Gear Box Oil ? Yes I did search :o)

    Yes Redline is almost triple the cost here compared to what I used to pay in North America. I will use Pentosin MTL-2 for now and see how it feels. The climate here is humid and tropical as you know, so I might not have the same notchy or crunchy feel as you guys might experience. Cheers.

    As JamesMartin and I concur, the best oil is oil regularly changed. :)

    R380 Gear Box Oil ? Yes I did search :o)

    Goc3k, I used to use Redline MTL on all of my BMWs and most customers BMWs unless they had a specific request, never had any issues with full race, street performance or grocery getter gearboxes. If I could get the best oil for the Landy here regardless of cost, I would. I looked at the various...

    ignition on left hand side..but why??

    Its so old some of the contributors were banned LOL I am sure there is no way this was the intention for the Landy, but left hand ignition switches were installed on the old Le Mens and IIRC some of the old F1 race starts, where the drivers have to stand in a line in front of their cars. When...
