How is the engine running, any after market modifications? Any issues with air flow or fueling problems? Any stumbles or hangups of engine speed? The reason for the question. The shift pressure is always based on engine torque signal. BUT if the engine torque signal does not match actual torque...

Could be NRC5478

It isn’t that difficult. There are two separate parts MOT and road fund license both based on the vehicle registration date. MOT The vehicle becomes exempt from needing an MOT when the vehicle has passed 40 years since registration date. Simple! It has the proviso that the vehicle hasn’t been...

Next year clean the steering box and the chassis below it with brake cleaner or carb cleaner.

And here is the top mount for the seatbelt on mine:

I have one you are welcome to have: I am close to the M1/M6/A14 junction if you head up country anytime?

As seen here:

There are 4 brackets (336577) across the back each have 1 larger bolt maybe 3/8” onto the roof back panel, and 2 smaller bolts maybe 1/4” holding the bracket to the tub. The 2 corner special bolts. And about 8 bolts maybe 1/4” on the top of the windscreen.

My series 3 has the same setup as the Defender. Shown here: https://www.lrworkshop.com/diagrams/land-rover-defender-body-chassis/body/cab-body-panel-fixings_52651 You will probably have to drill the holes for the number 2 bolts. So, 4x no1 and 2x no 8 plus the washers / insulators/ nuts.

I have a 109 and can have a look tomorrow and take some photos.

I fitted an o ring on my rope, just pull it down to the eyelet, it stops the water running down the rope.

I took my Defender to a Halfords once and they said they couldn’t test it and gave me bollox about rolling road then they switched to class. My conclusion was that they don’t allow the 5 year old employees to drive them. The brakes should be tested by being driven on the road. I always use a...

You need to check the timing if you have gone back to points, as it is probably in a different position.

Looks like a standard distributor with an aftermarket conversion to replace the points with an electronic pickup. If you pull the rotor arm off, the grey bit below will probably just pull off -revealing the shaft with the lobe on it. The other bit should just unscrew and a new set of points and...

I have adjusted my bonnet because it was a bit out of line and tight to pull the release catch. Also fitted new hinge bushes at the same time. It will be best to just assemble and adjust when everything else is done - before fitting grill.

It hooks on the slider and pokes up the hole halfway along square cutout.

Apart from advisories on steering box oil leak, seat belt damage and brake pedal rubber worn a couple of years ago, mot has been passed. Mileage looks about right on mot check as well. Mot expires November.

Is that a Defender axle? It looks like it has the groove to hold the rubber caps on?

That looks pretty original apart from the cigarette lighter socket and the hazard warning lights. There are a few bits that aren’t ideal with poor covers on wires, but apart from tidying them up I would leave that bunch if everything is working. To get at the speedo cable you need to remove the...

Ref “A” These square warning lights normally have the function illuminated. If you look closely you can normally see the wording. Common warning lights are: Choke - on petrol engines only Park Brake - obviously handbrake warning light Brake - this is only if it has a dual circuit braking system...
