Just tighten up with a usual length ratchet handle and socket. If your bolts are original worth getting a new set. Some come with pre applied thread lock. [no spring washer used] Not only does it keep em in but is better than using copper slip...

Standard drop plate for series at John Craddock £23, couple of fat washers will do instead of silly priced plate in @Wildefalcon post. Bolts will be imperial size.

Yeh gave them a good clean.

Remember which way the fuel pipes go. The link pipe between the carbs has a restriction for the return These carbs are simple as above needles or float stuck. Gentle tap with a bit of wood on the base sometimes frees them up

And I did not bother painting them.

It may be worth a double check that the crank flange and flywheel mating surface were totally clean.

Could result in clutch judder but this is just a guess. How and with what did you measure it?

Got some of the zinc plated ones when I fitted new door five years ago, still good and I live by the sea.

It wasn't me, way over my head. I worked on aircraft for 24 years but the car system is beyond me. It took a guy who knows the ford engine to work it out. Took him 30 mins.

Turns out to be a fault in the immobiliser system. Rear passanger door wiring damaged sending an error signal to the ECU.

Who would have thought, well done for finding the problem.

Ask the stork to take it back.;)

Some of the old seal kits did both slave and master, on just did not need all the bits for the slave, like I said no guaranty.

The cylinder seals for your slave may well be STC 500090 from LR parts [ no guaranty] Do not pull the rod as can be a git to replace through the slave hole. To clean out the housing remove tunnel, gearstick and access plate and blast with an air...

Shure needs an inner wing to bolt that res to.

It's one of those modern plastic coil sprung things. A car of some sort. Probably got those fancy wind up windows and such like.

10 hour job on a lot of vauxhall cars, at £60 per hour. Makes a lot of vehicles beyond economic repair. It's one of the reasons I keep my Landrover.

That's what I thought, not happy as they are.

The modern made stats are often rubbish. Last year I had 3 replacements when original failed after many years. Number 1 did not work at all, 2 packed up after a month. Number 3 a new in the box original Waxstat still fine. If you want to know...

L R Center LRC2332 for a set of longer studs.

I think it was the first major job I did on a Landrover. Tried to pull away at a roundabout and lost all drive. Had the presence of mine to jam the yellow knob down to get moving and prevent an accident. Drove for a few months before I...

Having been involved with 4x4 trials have seen many a shaft/diff break including some of mine. Many moons ago with my series 2a I lost drive and later found I could not remove NS shaft. I had chained other end of axle to a shed stanchion and...

Synchros wear with use and age, but the boxes are always been of a design where a slower gear change than your normal car is required.

Try "Automobile-catalog" for info on your truck's specs. Western power one's usually have either large rear body's or hydraulic platform on them. So likely HD springs ect.

Yea I know that it is hard to measure and do it just by feel. The last time I replaced mines master I could not get it to bleed at all. Turned out the new master was gooie inside and at the first press piston stuck at the bottom though doubt it...

Have you checked the amount of free play the pushrod to master has? It is only a very small amount but if too much no brakes. No freeplay and brakes will stick on some.

HRC1924 Lists as a front hub for Discovery 2.

Some think grease will stay in if seals are iffy, but it is not the case. The one shot stuff when warmed up will leak like the gear oil when seals are bad. Is the oil system better? Series Landy's used it and so did the early coil spring ones...

You are correct Gear oil 80/90 is what mine uses being a 1990 model.

Renewing front shocks and spring pans on mine. All turret rings nuts came off with none broken [pays to oil them] One turret had a rotted out section, did not want to wait for a replacement so welded in a patch.
