    Ignition Timing and Carb setting

    On the crankshaft pulley you should find a notch at near TDC, and a pointer fitted to the timing box just above it. Turn the engine by hand until the two line up (I use a dab of Typex on both to make them easier to see), and then turn the distributor, without the cap on, to where the points just...

    Problem fitting replacement door tops to my 110 - Help!

    The mounting 'studs' are welded to the frame of the door top, which allows you to put them on/take them off by doing up/ undoing the nuts at the bottom. Have you got a build-up of rot inside the tube? Do you have an M10 die that you couls run fown the mounting stud? When you fit them, give them...

    Defender 90 swivel ball seals

    Thed lazy way on the Series was to undo the slamp plare (10mm AF), remove the spirng from the seal, cut the old one in two and discard it. Then, using a very thin, fine toothed hacksaw blade, cut through the new seal at an angle after removing the spring. Cutting at an angle gives a better...

    Help help

    Had something similar happen with my NA, and to check what was 9not0 happening, I ran a bit of wire between the battery +ive and the pump solenois and she fired up immediately. Check the wiring between the starter switch and the solenoid as it could be a failing relay.

    Roll cage rear chassis mounts

    Are you competing, or is it for show? A roll cage is there to protect you when you turn over, and there should be no 'wriggle room' at all once it has been fitted! AS an example, on a Comp Safari, many years ago, doing almost 60 along a rough forest track when I hit a tree root and flipped over...

    Speedometer

    Last time I replaced mine, I disconnected at the gearbox, slipped the sleeve off, ran the new sleeve down the inner, then slid the new sleeve over that, which follows the original course and Robert's your mother's sister's brother!
