Thank you for your replies gentlemen.

Can I have some advice please. Two years ago I changed the original bulkhead on my 1962 3a to a refurbished one from a later 1969 model with the rack type windscreen wipers. The motor has now burned out and I want a replacement. Is the Series 3/ Defender one a direct replacement for the later...

Lincoln Green was an Austin Gipsy colour.

Thank you for your replies.

I have a 1962 Series 2a with an ex Discovery 200tdi engine conversion. The original Discovery alternator was removed for the conversion and a "basic" new one fitted in it's place. The S2a is negative earth. Which Amp Hour battery should I buy now that the original 70AH battery from it's petrol...

Hello there, Thank you very much for taking the trouble to reply and for the link. Problem solved. With many thanks, Ellis Griffith

Hello guineafowl21, I have just been reading your post on the TD5 truck cab rear sliding window catch. The same catch (n/s) on mine, a 2002 TD5110 is broken and can I trouble you to ask for the part number for the replacement catch and where you bought it. There are two, apparently. Thank...

Thank you all for your replies. When the Tdi engine was fitted a Series 3 bellhousing was used as it made the conversion easier by using a S3 slave cylinder as well. The 2a went in for it's MOT yesterday and I was able to have a good look for any dampness or signs of fluid leak - there were none...

May I have some advice please. Seven years ago my 1962 Series 2a 2286cc petrol was converted to an ex Discovery 200tdi using the original 2a gearbox. The diffs were changed to 3.54 to 1 from a scrapped Range Rover last year and now clutch slip has developed quickly on a clutch which has covered...

I thought so as well but apparently it is not.

Can I have some advice please. This topic came up for discussion many moons ago and I wondered if there's anything new on the market to solve the problem of rattling truck cab windows yet. I thought there had when I saw an advert for Garrison's rear window seal at £120+. Just as well that I...

I have been stopped twice to ascertain ownership but remember if you feel unhappy at the location where you have been stopped, especially at night you have the right to ask the Police Officer to proceed to the nearest Police Station and for you to follow him there.

Thank you very much, both. ZX1 it is then.

Gentlemen, can I have some advice please? Last year I bought an 02 Defender TD5 110 which had only done 400 miles or so over the previous 5 years. Total mileage is 110k. At first everything was okay but after a thousand miles of use I started hearing a faint but audible "buzzing" noise in 5th...

Thank you very much. I didn't know they fitted. In fact I have a pair of roof bars from a Discovery 2 here somewhere which I had forgotten about. I'll try those.

Has anybody got any recommendations as to the type of roof bars I should buy to fit the hardtop on my 1962 2a, please? I need to carry ladders with my 2a because my daily use pick up needs gearbox work and will be off the road for a while. Will an universal pair of adjustable roof bars fit or...

Does anybody have a late Series 2a dash top which they want to sell, please? It is the type from around 1969 onwards when 2a's were fitted with a single wiper motor situated in the lower left dash recess. Thank you.

Thank you gentlemen.

Can I have some advice please. I recently changed the bulkhead on my 1962 2a from it's fragile original to a rust free one from a late (1970) Series 2a. Because the later bulkhead already had the later wiper motor on the left hand side ,I kept this on and had the luxury of two synchronised...

Have a look at this site : www.technozen-electronics.co.uk Highly recommended but you will have to remove the 10AS Alarm module and send it. Removing the module is a horrible job.
