Hello. I have the seat belt mounting tubes which go inside the back. However seats were not supplied with tubes for under wheel arch so thanks for pointing that out. Images on internet are not clear. Is it just 1 bar per side under the wheel arch or is it an assembly?.

Hello, I have purchased 4 inward facing rear seats for my 1984 land rover 90. They are genuine Land Rover parts (2nd hand). Is there information anywhere on the forum or internet on where to drill the holes to mount the seat base, seat back and seat belt rail?. Any help much appreciated. Regards...

Ok thanks - there appear to be 4 bolts through the chassis rail to the box - Silly question but does this mean it is a 4 bolt?. There is a male conical part in the port in the box that mates with a female conical part on the old hose. It looks like an olive to me and new hose has one pressed...

Ok thanks for all your good advice. Sounds like mine should have a drain as topping it up with EP90. Don't think axles have been changed. It is all original and in standard form. Thanks again CSB167

Ok thanks for advice. Did go over head bolts twice when it was fitted so will leave alone for the time being.

Hello, I have just replaced the head gasket on my 2.5D NA. Started ok and so far so good. I have read on some forums about re-torquing the head bolts after a period of running. Is there any good general advice on this. No mention of it in Haynes manual. Regards Chris

Thanks for all your help on this. Will replace fuel filter and oil to start. Not getting consistent feel on lift pump when priming. Lever position at which I get resistance is never the same and gradually reduces - is this normal?. Also just noticed crack in exhaust between first...
