I fitted one of these https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/313276778283 Seems nicely made. Cheaper models are available, of course. If it's the TD5 you're buying for, it's a 16mm thread you want. I can't vouch for other species of Land Rover as I don't...

No there is no upper spring pad/isolator/clamp on the Defenders but they were fitted to the Disco's and RR's. https://gwynlewis4x4.co.uk/product/pair-anr2938-front-or-rear-coil-spring-isolator/...

Swopped over the master pushrods and all is well again. Had some issues bleeding the clutch but got there in the end, all back together and a limited test on the drive has given me good rev and first gears again. In case someone does a search and...

Think they are the same. What’s the problem?

Who said filthy was about dirt..? :vb-eyebrows:

Have a roll along but it's heavy to work with when full, plus lifting it on and off the truck when going to fill it etc, I take two 25 ltr plastic drums as well

What about fitting a (removable) tank onto the truck. And a bit of hose to connect it to the caravan? Then you could fill it up and no humping it back to the caravan.

Weather is filthier than a tratterer down ere. Plenty rainyblow. Funny but it seems regular here this time of year, just after swmbo's peonies flower. They gets battered.

I object to that. I'll have you know I just had a bath and it's not even summer yet. Although I couldn't see the bottom of the bath when I got out, it was a bit cloudy. Maybe next time I'll have the first bath instead of the oinker. 😁

Or welded it!

Take the round back plate off(by the handbrake) remove the gear. As splines may be worn & holding it on… Or some one has put a nut on the end of the shaft for fun

<smile> can't wait to see what happens when I take it through water - will that help the footwells drain out too. :D

@landowner Search Jacksons leisure They have the fiamma tanks and pumps. Also all the water fill points. I have the fiamma tank

Water tank… fitted to boats /campers have a large opening in the top. Put a vent valve in it & you can back fill these. Have 1 in the horse lotry. Cap is big enough to get hands in to put fittings into the side of the tank. Off for a search for you…

And… Stc3075. Fitted to wolf

Early ZF made ones had a spur(off to find a part number)

Check again… or send a photo of your cap

It’s a vent. Also if you put too much fluid in it will shoot out the hole.

I'm a big fan of Lanlin based coatings but the chassis does need to be clean and as much as possible rust free (rust treated) first and then its a yearly thing to keep on top of it. Lanoguard is the original and there are plenty of other makes...

Been Quiet while my Wallet Recovers. Have optimised my available settings and it goes very well indeed. 1/4 turn on Fuel screw, timing correct and aneroid set full rich. It flies, makes 19psi at full throttle and the EGT has still not breached...

Gearbox #3 going in along with a clutch change. Out comes the disaster that is an LOF HD unit and in goes a more gentle Valeo model...

Oil and filters today and a check over to see if anything looks out of place...nothing stands out for once,it'll get a good clean underneath and touch up paint where jack has been and coupla other bits that need a touch up. Pretty easy jobs for a...

Thank you for adding to the conversation, it's great to know I'm not alone. One of the first things we did before trying to start it when we rolled it out of storage was to drain the fuel tank and refill with fresh fuel. In addition, "Uncle...

And economy, from my experience. You get more instant power too, or perhaps that translates to more low down torque

Did a bit of welding on Saturday, did some more on Sunday. Guess what I did today? Yes that's right I did a bit more welding! Atleast I have finished that bit now, just have to do the next bit and by the time I have done that I am sure another...

So, following on from last week after draining out the fuel. The next morning, I only preceded to run out of fuel on the way to the petrol station! It became obvious quite quickly how unprepared I was, having broke down on a busy but narrow...

I am in touch with PolyBush, they have a couple of poly jobbers that can be adapted to fit. However I just thought someone might point me to a trader/site that recognises Metalastik 13/1899 and says "Yep, I've a couple in my parts...

As long as the switch’s are not important a cubby box will be fine. Reason… you won’t be able to see the switches when you use them.also make sure the cubby box does not have cup holders to interfere with switch’s/usb cables. Search mud dash...

What about looking at super flex bushes? Not metalastic but they also may have sizes to suit.

I am afraid this is not a Land Rover item. It is fitted to a torque tube extender mount to the body of a Grinnall TR7V8. The back axle is a Rover SD1 item, but extender mount is smaller than the Rimmers offered item for this vehicle, so it's a...
