    Off-road racing/comp safari in Holland

    Well... I have just moved to the Land of Clog and I plan to start some racing there once I have finished all the jobs on my motor. Anyone else in Holland who goes off-roading? Does anyone know where I can go to find technical regulations so I can make any changes necessary to my vehicle? I...

    Wanted. 2.25 5 brg petrol engine.

    You can have mine for free!!!! It needs a good recondition, but comes with carb, both manifolds, starter and pretty much everything else except for the alternator! It's a 5 main bearing one (1980). I am no longer in the UK, but the engine is sitting outside my workshop in Balham...

    big gay tyres

    I used to have those tiny little tyres on my Series 3 (Grizzly Claws) but then I manned up and got some proper tyres... 35/13.50R15 Mudzillas (like the Baja Claw). And with some wheel spacers and wide disco axles, it now looks the dogs bollocks :)

    Urgent problem with clutch/flywheel when fitting Rover V8 to Series Landy

    You're half right :) It would push the clutch further out but not the spigot bearing (sits behind the flywheel). I was a little worried about the level of engagement with the splines but after much research it seems people have used the SD1 flywheel successfully so guess it's ok. And I won't...

    Hello muddy folk! New here and have pics of my racer

    Hi, New to the forum (to ask a clutch question which is on the way to being sorted) and thought I'd say hello and show people pics of my Landy... called Boris! It's a Series 3 based vehicle with full MSA cage, Disco axles, disk brakes all round with bias adjustment, Fox remote shocks...

    Urgent problem with clutch/flywheel when fitting Rover V8 to Series Landy

    I think we got to that at the same time :) Thanks very much though. The release bearing would certainly cure the clutch problem! The problem was many sites apart from the two you found say that the SD1 flywheel is fine, though they probably fail to mention they use the 2a clutch cover it...

    Urgent problem with clutch/flywheel when fitting Rover V8 to Series Landy

    Thanks for the reply Ronsealdeath It's the standard Series gearbox (yep, won't last long, but it's a stopgap until I fit my Porsche engine and Toyota gearbox). Hmmm didn't know there were two bellhousing adapters you could get! Is the bolt pattern etc the same for the 4cyl and 6cyl? If...

    Urgent problem with clutch/flywheel when fitting Rover V8 to Series Landy

    *Pretty* sure I got it on the right way round and the cover plate bolted on nicely so guess it wasn't this? And with the clutch appearing to be around 15mm short of the release bearing (rather than long), I think that isn't the prob... but something to check for sure.

    Urgent problem with clutch/flywheel when fitting Rover V8 to Series Landy

    Thanks for your reply. Yeah I'll get my intro sorted this week. Just in a bit of a rush with this problem so had to dispense with formalities for the moment! lol Yeah the crank was already cut when I got it so haven't had to faff with that. The adapter fits on nicely with the crank and...

    Urgent problem with clutch/flywheel when fitting Rover V8 to Series Landy

    Hi all, I have encountered a major problem when I tried to fit my Rover V8 into my Series Landy yesterday. I only have a couple of weeks before I need to move the vehicle (moving to Holland) so it's rather desperate time-wise! So... I have a Rover V8 with all the usual kit to fit it to a...
