Thanks Paul - for sure I'll try this - simple and easy

The tyres are pretty big BF Goodrich ATs and threads are about the same - I'll have to double-check the pressures now that you mention it. I did check tyre pressures before and I still was having braking problems (on a trip in the Scottish highlands in horrible wet weather last summer - that...

Hi all. I have a weird problem that the local mechanic, to this day, doesn't believe: Only in wet conditions it pulls to the right when braking - very concerning at times what with oncoming traffic being over to the right. I have an '80s ex-MOD 110 with disks front and drums rear. Back in...

Thanks @jamesmartin - I'm on the lookout now for a replacement LT77 :|

Hi all, After a pretty recent transfer box change (because the output drive lost its splines - in another forum post here somewhere) this morning I lost 2nd gear - it popped and then there was no drive at all - as if I was in neutral. The stick feels perfect and feels like it's in 2nd gear -...

I'm so sure that it must be a fault in the transfer box because both props don't move when I go into 1st gear and have diff lock off but I'll do this test (and although I'm 99℅ sure I hope I'm not red faced after this !). The other thing you mention - that the output shaft splines might be...

It's more work but its less money (I'd need to get and replace the output shaft bearings and seals too - maybe there is a replacement kit on Paddock spares)

If only it was - that would be great as its a much easier repair. With diff lock off and the gearbox in 1st (or any gear) there is no prop movement so the problem is the transfer box

Thanks V much jamesmartin. The lever is fine so and working as it always did. Looks like the next thing I need to do is think about whether to use a transfer box from a discovery I have or to buy a rebuilt one from Ashcroft transmissions...

I started it up and drove it today (with difflock enabled so front wheel drive only). I notice now that the difflock/high-low selector doesn't feel right - it feels very sloppy - it does go left and ring (difflock on to the left off to the right) and it does to up and down to low & high ratios...

'Well it's not the selector - all that seems fine. Now that's I've got the tunnel cover and cubby box & panel removed I can hear that the whirring/grinding noise sounds like its coming from the rear output end of the transfer box (in front of the handbrake drum). I wonder did I break the...

When I don't have diff lock engaged (when I'm in diff lock off high or low ratio) neither prop moves - there is only a whirring / grinding noise that is coming from around the transfer box. I first thought when this happened was a broken half shaft or CV joint of something but then I looked...

Sad that my transfer box is making a grinding noise...

Hi everyone, This morning bringing my young lad to school, it felt and sounded as if one of the gear sticks popped out of gear but it was quickly obvious that this wasn't what happened. I found that I only had drive if I put the transfer box into diff lock and, when I did that, I could feel...

Rocky Mountain Spares are doing a "Overhaul kit for Fairey Overdrive Coupling" here: Rocky Mountain Spares UK > Improved Engineered Parts and Accessories for your Land Rover . I'm interested because it looks like its a job that can be done with 6 bolts holding the overdrive on and another four...

Hi All, First time posting on this site but I've been here lots of times reading up on people's opinions before I purchased things (plus the site has nice land rover photos which is good too). I've a 1972 S3 with a 19J 2.5TD engine but otherwise standard. I fitted a Fairey overdrive from...
