Nope, it goes from bulkhead to engine bay bodywork, the iner wing, so is the bulkhead supporting the wing or the wing supporting the bulkhead. Or i guess just stiffening but niether supports the other. So i guess i still dont know, and its not as clear as prev post would imply

On the passenger side there is a tie rod from the bulkhead down to the engine bay bodywork, looks a sturdy beast but non on the other side, any1 no what it does or what i risk if i remove it. Clearly its there 4 a reason but if i want to remove and then compensate for its removal i need to...

i have a ii1 with a 2.8 daihatsu n/a in it. Its a very nice fit and the NFU accepted it with no mods 2 the brakes, i thonk if it had been a TD they would have asked for brake upgrade as well. It goes through a siii gearbox. The other motor many would recomend is the izuzu, my local landrover...

agree wi betty, nfu wer the cheepest and more important more flexible with the engine swap. They also give bloody good legal advice on other things to members.

sounds like engine mounts because niose stops when you are moving, i had the same, 1 mount had broken but it only caused a problem in 1st pulling away.

was reading through this topic, how did it go, did you get it working ? I have a siia wi the 2.8 in and my siii gearbox is on the way out. wondering if the daih box was a better bet

make sure you keep enough original bits to keep th tax excemption, there is a pionts system. I have a series IIa wi a 2.8 daihatsu in it. I love it, the motor makes all the difference. It has SIII axles but who will ever no, it has a siii gearbox but the only dvla mod shown is the...

went to eastnor castle lro show and talked to a guy selling shocks, he seemed to no his stuff and very straight guy, told me i didnt need shocks, and he was selling just shocks at the show www.llama4x4.co.uk 01938850382. he was selling set of 4 for 150 quid that would go with the extra length...

Any 1 found a good way to stop water with an old canvas roof, gave it 1 coat of hot wax mixed wi veg oil (wooden floor wax) but while its better its not proof. any PROOVEN tricks. This summer is testing my resolve wi the softop

Just fitted a set to a series IIA, Its a better ride although i had hoped 4 more improvement. I would not get just any make, either rocky mountain or british springs, either from CP or direct from the factory. I dont think you need new shocks, the rocky mountain guy will say you do but his own...

Its worth it and not tuff, dont bother with bio just use veg. There is a bit to learn before you do it. Email me at Boozer@hemscott.net n i will send some stuff back. There is a good internet forum on yahoo, will dig out the address. The key is filtering, water removal, and heating the oil...

keep both, use te canvas in summer n the hard top in winter. I have a SIIa and have truck cab, hardtop and canvas, just no room left in the garden.

bodgit0, i have a 2.8 dahatsu sii, does the td give you a lot more ?

The other bit is the law about kidds, i think even if your vehicle does not have them as standard, mine does not 4 the middle seat, a child under 12 or under x inches tall must be restrained so cannot ride ina vehicle without belts or some restraint. so i can put a 13 year old in the middle seat...

Humm, didnt think about insurance. I think its just the middle bit to allow for the wheel nut cover but not sure. Guess i just hoped u would all say yup its easy,its 2mm and no big deal. The wheels looked cheepish and only 20miles from home. Oh well

I am told you can fit defender steels on a sii, but the alloys dont fit, however if you grind a bit off the alloy center bit they do fit. Any 1 tried this, does it work ?

I used 1 to clean off stone work on an old stone cottage, worked great, saw another guy use on an odd bits a steel, think they worth it bot 60 quid sounds high. they do use a lot a air so u need a decent compressor

Bugger me that was tuff, hack saw on some bolts, drilled 2 out. Un bolted the hanger from the body for 1 front spring and finished off in the shed. Yup used losts a grease, Leasons, spent to long trying to undoo bolts that wer never gona move, should have hacksawed sooner. Need a...

Humm, standard as can be, but, i wana use it, so if new spring designs make the ride better, i use em, new seats, yup. A have series II but previous owner put a Dahastsu 2.8 in it. It goes much better so i can use it for long trips. I guess i am saying, as standard as i can but not if it...

Stay away from the indigenous 1ns, look east.... and i dont mean hackney or france, As one of the few blokes with a woman who actually enjoyed the eastnor casle LRO show, i consider myself a lucky man.
