I didn't say after or before. It is as you say before as it wouldn't make much sense to be after. In open 16btdc In close 42abdc In peak 103atdc Ex open 51bbdc Ex close 13atdc Ex peak 109btdc From the workshop manual engine tuning data section (it is a diesel isn't it)

Yes, you can do it. But don't count teeth. (From memory) ep is 109deg, the teeth are 7.5deg so you won't get a whole teeth count. Use a timing disc.

Dunno, you can get Cav pumps for the 2.5 so I just assumed you could get 2.25 ones. But maybe it's al replacement or recon now.

if they said that it didn't have a chain because it had pushrods, then they shouldn't be working on anything more complicated than pushbikes. Your engine is currently a 3 brg. Unless you're a stickler for originality, I'd go for a 5brg as they're stronger. The only snag is that the 5brg is...

Just fitting or taking off the old one as well? I'd expect it to be about 2 hours, so between 80 and 240 depending on the garage.

Drums seem the most likely particularly if it's worse under heavy braking. Are the shoes making contact all around and are not contaminated? If you play with the adjusters, can you make the symptoms better or worse? Less likely, check for fluid loss anywhere and look in the reservoir as someone...

^ what he said. They're completely different part number which should give a clue. You actually buy the 11t bendix (244711) separately but I wouldn't like to guarantee it would fit (worth a try though as its a lot cheaper than a starter motor)

Oh dear, just had a look as well and I'm afraid it doesn't look good. Lots of complaints about the quality of work as well.

I got a front panel from them 2 years ago and they were reasonably prompt and hand delivered the item. A year is unacceptable and makes me wonder if they're in some kind of trouble. Given that it's a large sum of money, a personal visit might be a good idea. Did you pay by credit card? If so...

Doubt there's a series part on and I always worry about the source of the parts used for the "conversion". I suppose it's their own business (and conscience) but what if some poor sod buys it has an accident then becomes liable for all the back tax and using a cloned vehicle.

I'd snap it up myself but thought I'd give other people a chance. 1965 (apparently), can't be many like this from that year. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Land-Rover-Series-2a-Td5-Automatic-with-Trailer-and-Generator-/192089074920?hash=item2cb966ace8:g:-cYAAOSwEzxYQALs

Not seen any guides. But apart from checking the wiring differences (to get lt for the ignition), cleaning out or replacing the fuel system and the exhaust, it should be pretty straight forward assuming your replacement engine is good. If it's really a 15j, the front offside engine is different...

Get a new husband. One with a tractor should sort it.

Yes, the same ideas as above. Any fluid? Is slave or master leaking? These seem more likely than reattaching clutches (what ever that means)

Even if the knob is from a roamerdrive (which as far as I know it isn't), surely the only sensible course is to have a look at the unit. Did the previous owner's name begin with 'R' y any chance?

Don't know them but reading this thread, I wouldn't give them the benefit of the doubt if I were you. Get straight in there with a sale of goods letter.

Actually, that is quite nice. Be a real shame to break it.

Switch next to light switch is for instrument lights and interior light, however it's a nonstandard switch so it's time to trace those wires or suck it and see. Amber light is low fuel. Fan switch should be fast slow and off. Middle console is optional so the switch are personal preference...

The theory there is a risk but as look as it looks "series" i.e no coils, disks or defender front end, the chances of being caught are negligible. Mind there could be a problem if you had a serious accident. The chassis is the vehicle identity but if kept the same chassis and changed absolutely...

I've just got some of that! For years I used moly paste type ones in a tube. Then I go to get some more and it was "nobody uses that anymore, grandad". How the world moves on.
