The fact that has no number along with narrow arm brackets, larger axle end caps, swivel housing style suggest it is the original axle. I fact it looks just like my 1990 one [which is original] with more rust. Not that bad though looks like it will clean up well. I have repaired brackets and...

Most likely is what @SimonBrown says in above post. Hot spot due to poor injector spray pattern. Black puff is the 200's excess fuel start system working, good for getting dirty looks at the supermarket car park. :D

Yes, try and get what is already on your truck.

Recon the above will give @Kremers lots to think about. I have no idea what sort of off roading there is in Cyprus. However a much simper way to improve the capability of a standard Land Rover would be to fit locking diffs or perhaps better in your case @Kremers torque bias diffs as they need...

For later vehicles like yours it is one shot grease. Do not mix anything.

And if you want the correct gear knob for a 2a it has a flat top unlike the round series 3 one in photo. Available from John Craddock Land rover parts.

No I do not, but try John Craddock

MUC4071 is for 5mm glass.

Just so you get this right Land Rover Ninety and One Ten models built before 1990 are not Defenders. The Defender name only came in with the arrival of the TDi 200 engine model.[same as disco] This can be important when ordering parts. John Craddock has what you need here in UK.

Disco washer NO. Same washer used in 2ltr 2.25 and 2.5 engines up to 1990.

The shims you need are already in there, it is a case of removing one or two to get the preload right. They are of different thickness and it is a case of try it and see. Example remove the thinnest shim replace pin and if still to loose put it back and remove next thickest and so on until pre...

Its called "speed wobble" because that is when it happens usually induced by a bump in the road. Loading up the drive train [accelerating] can act as a damper but is not a cure. Have you done the swivel housing preload?

Does this mean you have not yet checked/done the swivel pin pre load since this thread was started? Swivel pin pre load job does not need the hub removed unless pin or bush is worn. Jack and support axle. Remove wheel and disconnect track rod [and steering rod for nearside.] Have a feel of...

Judge Dread 1995 film the city taxi cabs were based on Land Rover 101's, not that you would recognise them.

K-seal in the system will sort minor leaks for a good time. Can be used with Blue antifreeze.

Lots of Landy's doing their stuff in 1965 Syfy yarn "Crack in World" about scientist who's project to use an atomic bomb to release thermal energy, of course it go's wrong. Mostly Series two hard tops to see but the Landy hero is a battered open top 88.

It was me, my Ninety has series metal caps. Whack on with rubber mallet with smear of sealer on the edge.

When my old Honda 125 caught fire as I was riding along [ things got rather hot down below] I was glad to do a quick bail out.:eek::eek::oops:

Rails of correct section available from YRM. A mate fitted a gas strut on his, says it is nice door can remain open on a side slope or in wind. However when he opens door a bit off it goes flying to a crash as it stop, you have to hang on to it. It is of the type that fits at the bottom instead...

I have done mine's intermediate shaft front O ring seal as above. Moved trans box back on two extra long bolts and then push shaft forward just enough to renew the O ring.
