    Home made rocksliders

    Made these today, a few pictures of how they were made Removed sills and used them as a template, drew round them on 40 x 80 box section to get the length and the radius at the ends Decided that I wanted the ends of the sliders to taper back in towards the wheel arch...

    Gearbox paint marks?

    Hi, I just aquired a gearbox for my 90, don't know much about it's past other than it came out of a 110 and its an lt77. There are two paint spots on the main box, one is blue and the other is green, side by side. Could it be reconditioned or what? any ideas, ta.

    Diff lock problem

    that's just what I was doing to check it was all working properly, I think it's fine just never realised that you could move the lever directly to diff lock without going up and over and then back in, suppose I've not had the need to use it to much so far, thanks though.

    Thats ok then, I guess I don't have a problem after all, Thanks, just need to find out why my gearbox or transfer box whines so much now, really bugging me, Its been like that since I got it, not getting any louder just a pain in the arse, changed the oil and all that, no difference...

    Diff lock problem

    not sure about that, there is a neutral between high and low, I just thought you had to go forward a bit before you could go over to the left to engage diff lock, maybe I'm talking crap though!

    Diff lock problem

    Hi all, just wondering if anyone has had this problem with the diff lock - I noticed today that when the lever is in high and diff lock off, if I push the lever over to the left it goes straight into diff lock, without going forward a bit into neutral then left and then back into diff lock as it...

    timing help needed please

    What your saying is not correct, when 1 and 4 are at tdc one is on a compression stroke and the other on an exhaust stroke, next revolution they are other way round so 1 should be on compression stroke for setting the timing

    timing help needed please

    Could you be 180 degrees out with the crank turning twice for every single revolution on the cam, I know it was a common mistake in the past

    Starter motor problems?

    have a look at this, its an extract from a description of a 200tdi starter It might be worth mentioning that there's a directional clutch behing the starter dog - you should be only able to turn the cog on it's own in one direction.

    Starter motor problems?

    Don't really know, but I think it must be part of the bendix set up cos mine was throwing the bendix and spinning no prob when it was on the floor but would'nt turn the engine when it was in place, the guy tthat fixed it more or less told me it was probably this clutch that was gone before he...

    Starter motor problems?

    I had same problem with mine about a month ago, took it off and put it to a guy who repairs starters/alternators etc, said the clutch mechanism in the starter was faulty, fitted a new bit and charged 30 quid, said the starter was good and the fault was a common thing on these starters. No...

    Wheels/tyres

    What's about the biggest tyres I can fit on a 90 with no lift on suspension that won't give any problems, height, width and so on. Also wheel offsets? if I get new wheels. Any pictures to give an idea how they might look, Thanks.
