Hi guys. Can anyone help me? What would the part numbers be for front and rear brake shoes this would be for a 1967 109 military, also bleed nipple for the front shoes are at the bottom would it be easier to swop to the top? Also I will try one of those eezi bleed, my brakes pull to the right...

Can anyone recommend where to get the vent seals, I think defender seals are available, but I have seen where you cant close the vent because the seal is too thick, This is for my 1967 109 2a. I got some many years ago from Brockwell's just up the road but they just sell land rovers now no...

Sorry for my late reply, computer ended up catching a cold (probably con i virus) all up and running again now. Thanks for all the replies, yes; I put a screwdriver through holes to get them lined up, I need some work doing on a few things but with a "stay in doors" policy I just got bored...

Hi guys. I’m fitting the front floor plates to my series 2a and the screws I have seem a bit short these are 320045. I’m sure there are some longer screws, can anyone please help? Thanks all, regards Billy.

Thanks for all the replies, I just want the oil to warm up quicker ( it takes for ever and a day for the temp gauge to even start to get up to temperature). The worst engine wear is startup when the oil is cold. I will just take the oil cooler out and replace with a straight pipe and also remove...

As title says, Can the sump oil cooler connector be replaced with a sump drain bolt? And remove the oil cooler pipe adaptor from the oil filter. Does the oil cooler have a thermostat in the oil circuit (series 2a, 1967, FFR.). Are the pipe threads unf of pipe standard pipe thread. Thank you.

rob1miles, Thank you for the information, where the outrigger meets the chassis, there is a large rust hole in the chassis. I may be able to use my mates garage for a couple of days, with this in mind I'm thinking of prepping it ready and using the garage to do the welding. Can you give me the...

Hi rob1miles, It is a military, and yes, I know they are different than civvy ones. Yes £150, I would pay that, then at least I would be able to drive it, but I never thought about fabricators, that's worth a try. thanks rob1miles.

Hi Bobsticle, A welder, I use to work at a technical college, and they told me I needed to be able to weld so they enrolled me on some welding courses, but that was over 40 years ago, and I know you needed good rhythm, that's all long gone, cant even control the mouse on the lap top now...

Hi dag019, Yes; I would have a go myself, but there is no hardstanding, only mud, its raining, cold. and I would rather pay someone who has a garage, than have all the trouble of doing it myself. Maybe in the summer but that's a long way off, thanks anyway dag019.

my 109, n/s front of the rear spring outrigger, where it connects to the front of the rear spring is very rusty, and not giving much strength to the front of the spring, I am in Hampshire, can any of you guys recommend a place that knows land rovers where I can take it to get it repaired??

I have been rebuilding my gearbox, the 3rd and 4th synchro gear teeth are badly bruised. The synchro is a suffix "c" but the rest of the gears are suffix "d", I think the waisted teeth on the pinion may have done this damage, but I'm not sure, any ideas. And also are selectors for suffix "c"...

jamesmartin, Thank you very much, I wouldn't have been able to carry on with the rebuild until I knew which way it fitted, Thank you sir.

Rebuilding the gearbox on my series 2a. The synchronising clutch, I didn't take much notice when I took it out but the teeth on either side are different on one side they look quite worn, and on the other side thicker and looking better?? Does it matter which way it goes back, any idea's. I will...

my land rover is 88 with a transit 2.5 diesel engine. I busted the gearbox, I do have another 2 gearboxes and one of them I will use to keep me on the road. One of the boxes is a series 3 1ton box in good condition, the other box, well I don't know what year it is the number on it is 146002817...

Thanks, Turboman. I will look for a 2.5 petrol, I'm familiar with petrol engines even though they are thirsty, its just there don't seem any around at the moment?

Thanks to all, I will forget the diesel engine and look for a petrol engine.

Hi all, I've just brought a series 2a with a diesel engine 15J, I cannot find any information regarding changing over from diesel to petrol. Can anyone tell me if there is a petrol cylinder head and accessories that I can fit to use petrol. Sorry but this diesel I have is smelly and very noisy...
