Although I am just guessing here, you may find that if it wasn't in the earlier brochure it was available through the special vehicle branch, which was far more of a bespoke rather than a package type specification. For example the utility...

It's kind of important to use the right terminology when you are asking about part of your landrover/car and what it does/how it works. If you don't know what it's called a photo is the best and quickest way to get a meaningful reponse. There is...

I don’t think they are. I had to fit them to my swb to fit a full tilt. I did exactly what you have said. I tucked it up against the capping and then positioned it at the right point to function with the tilt. Just make sure they are the same...

I do not have a direct comparison of the same engine 90 vs 110. My 90 is td5 and 110 a tdi. So they are very different setups. I will say from using the 110 regularly for hauling things about I personally do not think there is any driving feel or...

I had a similar issue with the station wagon body I rebuilt. I riveted an aluminium patch over the top of the hole and used tiger seal as a glue., then painted everything to give it a Protective layer, and I then used neoprene foam tape on the...

another vote for Ashcroft here. It is a recon of your current rather than a replacement but their turn around time is about a week (quicker if you drop off and collect) so the vehicle is not off the road for long.

As someone who has used and owned both what do you think a 90 does better? Other than having a slightly smaller turning circle due to length for everything else it is the same vehicle, same engines, same performance. There is no difference in...

I have never used a torque wrench on wheels unless racing. A 3ft breaker bar to two squeaks does the job quite happily!

I put a thin bead of black silicone in the bottom of the groove before fitting, slightly less aggressive than tiger seal but does the same job. They are supposed to be a dry fit but anything to help reduce water ingress has to be worth it!

if you get rid of the squeaks the rumbles and clunks become more noticeable, if you get rid of them you are just left with wind noise, and no one wants that!

None of those jobs require major tools or lifting the vehicle? I do all of those jobs on my driveway with each one (other than the screen) taking about half an hour. If you are travelling around the world and living in it surely that is even more...

If you're against replacing anything original with new parts then owning a Land Rover isn't for you

Another vote for atf over mtf for a lt77 from me. It’s cheaper and means you have the same fluid in pas and box so one less to carry.

I know they have a bad rep in military circles and the xzl’s are regarded as much better. It may also be worth checking the manufacture date of the spare. As just because it is good tread especially if it is what it came with from the army it may...

If it comes to it the drop arm I took the picture of on eBay was £18 and included a new ball joint. So if you are really struggling although relaxing a good part it will not break the bank.

My original TD5 drop arm had a notch in it and also the replacement has the notch in it.

That’s what I get for not paying enough attention to the people posting! If you don’t mind me asking what made you chose g90’s? I did t think they had a very good rep and thought they were crossly rather than radial? Sounds like you have panels...

If that is what yours is like then you should be able to lock the arm centred using that. below are some pics of the drop arm an box that I have out of the vehicle to illustrate how it work, from the pics it looks to be threaded so could use a bolt:

Are you sure you don't have this. It is just a cast slot on the back of the arm, the new ones for sale still have it (image below from an ebay ad for a new one). This allows you to put a correctly sized drill bit (do not ask me what size) into...

top of the pedal in the footwell footwell you have the circular spring. Each end of this sits in a little plastic cup, and there is a plastic insert onto the pedal where the spring sits in the slot: Link shows the little plastic parts I am...

Yes, 170NM (i've got the MOD document somewhere too).

From the depths of my memory I want to say it’s 170Nm but I will have a dig around my saved documents and check.

What style of clutch pedal do you have? If the later flat bar type the spring sits in plastic “bushings” that can squeak as they wear.

I agree with the above. A wheel nut is a wheel nut. I run wolf wheels on my series and td5 and am In The same position as @miktdish with the studs half a thread short and have no problems. I have not bothered swapping to the longer wheel studs...

If it has come through the skin, no, the alluminium has oxidised away into thin air. It's gone. It's passed us by and is on it's way to peace eternal, it's bereft of life and can best be described as ex-alluminium-num-num. Rub down the effected...

You're too late! I've done a deal myself for £7,350. And a big thanks to the guys who suggested it would polish up with some T-Cut because it does! The previous owner never, ever washed it so it got badly oxidized, but it scrubs-up nicely with...

This ^^ In a 90 you can carry people, things,, the dog. But only one of them at a time. If you need to carry more than one thing at a time you need a 110.

Ok, in general for 1 or 2 persons at the most, family has to be a 110.

I am going to say a few things. Stop looking at pretty, of course most sale ads like to show you pretty. Wanna buy this:D. Has manual AC but rust free. No scratches (to be seen;)). I may have said it, dont get sucked in by pretty, I guess at...

The rear heated window switch should be down by your knee between the steering wheel and the door. If you have a fog switch there then I would remove the little three switch panel and see if the wiring for the heated rear window is still behind...
