    1991 110 CSW Salisbury Diff freeplay??

    Engine and gearboxes all long overdue for a level check. Even if it doesn't need it, it's a good habit, which can save you some real trouble in the future.

    1991 110 CSW Salisbury Diff freeplay??

    It seems quite a hollow sound. Are you sure it's all greased up good? Three nipples on the prop, diff oil (flush it if it's gotten low), swivels (don't trust the one-shot - check it), transfer box, gearbox, all are hollow and should have enough oil in to deaden sounds fairly well. Should be more...

    1991 110 CSW Salisbury Diff freeplay??

    Doesn't look too bad, a fair bit less than 1/8 turn. If you can feel a knock, look to suspension, with the drivetrain unloaded you will only hear a clunk.

    Rear crossmembers

    Membs the rear cross. Can't ask for more than that. I'm sorry. I'll go away now.

    Newbie, brake disc issues

    Presume caliper is fitted correctly, mating surfaces clean etc. I would pop in at your local parts counter and pick up a pair of FTC1381 for around 20 quid. If you explain the situation, they should take them back without questions if it turns out you have funky calipers, although you'll want to...

    Fuel tank???

    Assuming you've got the tank out and in a dry place, if it hasn't dried out by now it's probably diesel. It'll lose its smell as the solvents evaporate, leaving behind an oily residue. Always best to assume the worst where safety is concerned anyway, and there's no sense in giving the MOT man...

    Series 2 Attn: Rivet counters - which colour was this?

    Nah, you can get knock-offs now for a fraction of the price.

    Series 2 Attn: Rivet counters - which colour was this?

    Chevron paint, available from local motor factors ;)

    Commercial d1

    Good looking truck mate. Lovely colour ;) If you've got smoke and mileage, see to the head gasket before you get any real harm. Could be anything else, of course, and it'll probably go on forever anyway. Almost regret doing mine, it cooks the clutch, but I've got some other drivetrain issues.

    For Sale breaking series 2+3+defender+discovery

    How much for a front prop to fit D1? RRC or fender will do it.

    Newbie, brake disc issues

    Just done a google image search and FTC461 looks all wrong mate. If you've bolted it down good it should all go together like clockwork, but one or two surfaces do have potential to interfere if not fitted together dead straight and tightened down evenly. Manufacturer isn't all that important...

    P38A Range Rover Wheel and tyre

    Just turn it round so the flat bit goes on the ground. It'll be a smoother ride with the matching ground contour.

    Fuel tank???

    Guessing, since I don't have a series or know enough about them, just want one. 1 Vibration dampening. 2 Sweating in hot weather. Expanding vaporised fuel condensing when forced through a tiny gap in an old seal or join. Or just trapped moisture. Is it fuel?

    https://www.gov.uk/request-information-from-dvla You won't get far with that, so good luck. 'Course, any Landy will make a spectacular gift.

    I think you can ask the local constabulary. They might charge a fee.

    Disco 1 klingon clock

    Mine only tells the time on the darkest nights. At least it doesn't sparkle in daylight or whatever it was.
