    THAT circlip on the primary shaft

    It's a swine, and crucial to the end float, I think. I've used a half one to set end flat and then put the proper one at the end. Ensuring both the same width, of course.

    3.0 tdv6 rebuild advice

    I suppose it depends on the engine and remap. Something with a lot of engineering overheard can be safely remapped by a competent tuner. Volvo offered a remap for their five cylinder diesels with full warranty. The remap was done by their in-house tuners, polestar. Who are now a manufacturer...

    101 swivel hubs, grease or oil?

    Typically CV joints need grease, similar to defenders and range rovers. Oil is better than grease for UJ joints, as the tiny rollers need lubricant.

    I've just bought a 101 Ambulance... (YAY ME!)

    The two tyres above are original Goodyears. Surprising the 1" difference in diameter. I'd be happy with narrow tyres, not into monster trucks.....

    I've just bought a 101 Ambulance... (YAY ME!)

    Cool, out of stock, though. I'm waiting to see the diameter of these fitted on @yfo866 's ambi. This because I'm a little bit concerned that they might be too small. This is a new 9.00 C16: And a used one:

    Series 2a - Vertical play in front wheels

    Can you get the same preload using the bearings as the Railko? The Railko bushes have never given me trouble with standard wheels.

    Series 2a - Vertical play in front wheels

    There are shims under the pins that hold the hub to the swivel. Held in with four nuts and lock tabs. Remove a shim until solid, then once tested, replace the Railko bush and set up according to the manual

    Okay, I've one possible option I'm following up on. How accessable is the 101? It's a Lisbon based classic Landrover outfit.

    Series 3 Parabolic or leaf springs

    I've parabolic springs. I like them. If you go for them, you'll be better off buying new shocks. Gas type, and maybe extended jump hoses. I've mine for 15 years or so. But multi leaf are good, too. Just need to ensure they are kept mud free.

    wonky

    The 1/2 ton, air portable was fitted with different springs to the civilian models. Jones sell them. Standard civvy springs will fit, and parabolic, so your choice.

    They don't. Less leaves.

    Is there a 101 buying guide around here?

    I feel your pain. Yesterday I had the luxury of not being the family driver for once, and spent most of the trip coveting the various barns I saw on our two hour drive along rural parts of the M4. Note to self. Do the lotto.
