How about one of those alloy tool box's you see behind the cab in pickup trucks.

That is why I was asking about year. In 1980 Land rover said they were going metric and some stuff was but not all. Now for some reason My 1990 Ninety has imperial brake fittings [I have owned it from near new so no one has cobbled it] Why ? when others from the 80's are metric! Tdi on should...

Pretty basic stuff, have a look at the You tube. Several video's on "how to" also showing the different kits available. Good one's by Britannica restorations ltd. As above do some free practice before making actual ones. What year is your Landy?

Yes, 14.2 is more like it. However A more powerful alternator that helps when you have heavy load items in use much of the time like winch doing a job like log hauling or playing in a winch challenge. At other times in every day running say after starting up it just replaces the charge in the...

Looking pretty good in that pic, must have been a good underseal [plenty of rubbish ones about] Truck may have been a sales demonstrator or something like that to account for date.

The above only works if you hold the clutch pedal down while doing it.

Known issue with R380 box is issues with 5th gear bearing, a change of oil may help in the short term.

Have your gear box's had oil changes in that time?

Has it been left outside some time? If so the ports on that engine/turbo have been open to atmosphere and done no good. You know Land Rovers and axles and gearbox may be usable, however value is as @Dippypud says in the chassis.

Drain the oil and see what bits come out. Was your clutch working right?

As above use it up bit at a time or mix with waste oil to make your own spray on preservative.

A couple of years ago I was driving my Ford Focus and was about 45 mins drive from home in the day when the battery warning light came on. I kept going thinking I would get back fine however after a couple more miles the electric power steering shut down [heavy like a series with a flat:D] I had...

Doing the above is not good for the alternator and can result in damaging the voltage regulator.

Once running a TDI will keep going as long as there is enough volts for the stop solenoid.

To check. Use a multimeter set in dc volts across battery terminals will tell if alternator is still working. It may be the bit that cuts the power to the dash charge lamp has quit. Engine on [and rev it a bit] and off. See if it agrees with your dash meter.

Good job then and nice you came back with outcome.

Should settle after a couple of adjustments. Has yours got the square hole in the bracket for a half inch tommy bar to lever on to set tension?

All those bolts you mention came free on my truck with just penetrating oil. A good ring needed for those swivel housing to axle bolts. Some shock helps. Heat is your friend with stuck stuff as your neighbour knows. No head left, angle grinder and vice grips with heat. Mine having a good...

You have a need then. Your old alternator may well fix to be an on hand spare. Swapped out a non working alt for spare a while back and got around to sorting it just the other day. New rectifier and brush/voltage regulator pack for £20 + post. If stator and armature windings are good often worth...

It is a shame so many folk, and not just farmers do not take basic care of their vehicles. A good clean underneath once a year and when dry a spray of preservative goes a long way. I was doing similar work on mine recently and all bolts that needed undoing did so. Thirty plus year farm truck.
