Exactly. It is autojumble territory. And I am expecting a big box of rusty hubs that I will need to rummage through to find the correct ones. Unfortunalty the examples I have are all fitted to vehicles! I have some pictures of what I need and...

Can you be a bit more specific. That sounds like exactly The sort of information I am looking for.

I know I posted this before with no results but I am going to ask again as Newbury spares day is at the weekend and I want to make sure I am buying the correct parts. I am aware of the difference between front hubs with the older versions having...

if you are getting it reconditioned anyway then I would agree and suggest there is very little risk in a second hand one. just get the cheapest 1.2 you can find and then send it to Ashcroft's for a refurb. I believe Ashcroft do offer a conversion...

The serpentine fan belt is another give away. 200tdi uses a v belt, 300tdi uses a serpentine.

I think the R380 reverse switch comes out the passenger side under the floor, and the lt77 is on the rear as you have stated. The switches are also different with the R380 (at least mine) using an econoseal plug and the lt77 using spade...

If you look around the scappers you'll see what went wrong with the defender. After the TD5 they started putting transit engines in them, engines that offered more power and faster accelleration/top speeds etc. The yards are full of these cars...

that will be the wire that has earthed without a fuse. What was it connected to at the end? by following it back hopefully you will find where it has contacted to earth out.

I plan on removing the load leveler (boge unit I believe) I do not have one on my hardtop and am happy with the setup of that so am just going to replicate it. It needs new suspension anyway so will just fit the appropriate rated springs. I am...

On more sensible work towards refurbishing the station wagon body to swap onto one I have now finished rebuilding and painting the second row door tops. These were bought fully stripped so thankfully all the parts were there to put back together...

May be a little premature as it needs a lot of rebuilding first but couldn’t turn these tree slider steps down when they came up for sale (thank you @bluehaze). Although they will certainly need to come off again fitting them is the easiest way...

It would say exported if it was no longer in the country. I have just been through that with my 110 as it had all the marker for being exported but never actually left the country. So that marker on the dvla shows it is a least uk based.

I will give it a go over with a wire wheel And then may sneak into the dishwasher when the wife isn’t looking before giving the inside a final buffing.

The place that did mine previously acid dipped the bulkhead before repair. So the internal rust was removed that way first. I have one that I am in the same position with for my station wagon. But if I can’t get find somewhere to acid dip it...

Feels a little like deja vu but I am once again rebuilding brake calipers with stainless pistons. I have done this before on both sets on the 110 and the fronts on the 90. The set being rebuilt this time are for the station wagon as currently the...

Unfortunately cannot help on recommendations but I have a related question . Has the number of companies now making new replacement bulkheads increased and killed of the companied repairing and galvanising? Looking at the current price of a new...
