Hi...its certainly not a pristine original and even then i'm no expert on these as its our first landrover but pretty sure these rear door panels are original and how they were. We still need to find a couple of sliding window knobs as they were missing for the back but are present on the front...

Yeah due us buying the vehicle as a fresh water flood insurance claim, and not in a running state when we purchased it, although I suspect the rusted chassis was more the reason for it to be flooded, we had no real history of the engine and box, I think the box probably sat with water in it for...

I dont think that was the source of the noise, clutch release bearing feels and spins OK and even though the loads are different that bearing spins all the time, when clutch is foot off gearbox input shaft and gearbox layshafts spin, when clutch is pressed gearbox is not spinning, ours was...

Thanks for reply....it looks like it will be going back in, have replaced mainshaft front roller bearing, all other ball and tapered bearings and seals so hopefully no more noise when foot off clutch and output shaft seals will keep the oil in!

Yep that sounds like me! frustrates the hell out of my son....

Yep always a fine line between false economy and real value!

Thanks for the replies guys...my problem is I'm an aircraft engineer so at work its simple...just get a new part! in real life the reality is its not ideal and will probably go for years like this...just not allowed to use the work probably at work! will wait for a few more comments but it looks...

Thanks for the reply..it is a 4 speed box, you need to double the price of your pounds to get NZD and delivery from UK is expensive, I guess the intent was just a quick cheap repair but its grown so just looking for cheap alternates and was hoping to get the 'it will be OK just put it back in!'...

Thanks....its a 1983 county with the original running gear, imported into NZ from the UK 1997 with a touch of rust, then fresh water flood damaged, my son purchased it 2 years ago first time for this sort of project, quite satisfying to get it back on the road but as mentioned we are now trying...

Finally got our year long re build and re certification of our 1983 county 110 finished and back on the road....didnt really know the condition of engine and gearbox pre rebuild as it wasnt on the road when we purchased it so mainly focused on just getting it recertified after all the rusty...

Thanks... appreciate the reply. Even there it seems so many diagrams start at 1987- I'm guessing most part are still common to the 1983 and on. Looking forward to reassembly now that we have chassis back from being blasted and painted, you guys over there are so lucky to have access to so many...

My son and I are currently reassembling a 1983 Land rover 110 County and are just after part number manuals, can someone tell me if the Retroanaconda parts books that are for 1987 and onwards are still applicable for the earlier 1983 110's or is there another book somewhere that we should be...
