The original drum handbrake works very well Never needed to up grade

Will fit just need a Ashcroft gear stick adapter

salisbury arb rd20,old early type locker Side gears wanted as splines worn on mine Any parts for locker considered or possible whereabouts of spares Thanks

Ok I think the spring hangers are different as well When I did the rear chassis on my 109 the 1/4 chassis was enough but I still had to replace the front spring hangers as well as some lower middle chassis sections

What do you mean? I've just looked again at the one on eBay,it looks good or I'm I missing something?

Nope it's listed 109

Land Rover Series 109 2/2a/3 Rear Cross Member With Extensions 143404365043

One on eBay now Listed as used but looks new

Every time I go I come back with some real bargains This time was no different Exhaust down pipe no rust £1 Defender Koni adjustable shocks all most new £3 Series chrome swivel ball like new £5 Good Turbo with manifolds £20 And so on

What's wrong with the 2.25 diesel? I would not start fitting other engines as you will lose the series experience My diesel is not bad on fuel for a old classic and is plenty fast enough with the write diff's and a pump tweek

One sucks for the servo and the other is the exhaust That same vacuum pump used to be fitted to fords with the old Peugeot engine

This is in no way a replacement for the defender What a load of s**t

Off road coarse was crap and expensive,didn't bother with the show as it's always the same and expensive

7.50 16 looks best on a series and no loss of steering lock Any bigger I thinks has more disadvantages and is a waste of time My 88 is 2.25 diesel and I turned the pump up and now it's got plenty of power

Spare wheel on the roof. I don't like it on the bonnet and rear door is still a pain even with a swing away but roof mounting works well. Getting it down is easy but best to have 2 to lift it on to the roof.

Smaller steering wheel obviously

What I did to my 88 and 109 was fit early defender or Range Rover diff's (109) salisbury out of defender Diff's can be picked up for as little as £20 Both are 2.25 diesel with 7.50 16 tyres and the gearing is not a problem now.

Yep I aqree 3mb it should be I would pull one apart before putting it in Most will be worn out and new parts are so cheap for the 2.25

Everyone knows hybrid land rovers are being built, that's the great thing about old land rovers you can build it yourself. It's not being done for any reason apart from building something you want Noone is interested in the pieces of Land Rover bolted together apart from some people As for road...

Most people fit a tdi because the old engine was slow and smokey But that's just the way they are
