If the centre diff is in the unlocked position then it enables the front and rear propshaft to spin at different speeds for cornering on the road as every wheel will travel a different speed. In slippery conditions if you are stuck in mud or snow and don't lock the centre diff it will send the...

In a Land Rover with a centre diff you can engage difflock whilst moving and disengage it. If you see an obstacle that you need more traction for then engage difflock on approach. However the general rule is no difflock on hard paved surfaces any surface where the transmission can unwind is...

Has someone in the past played about with the injector pump, causing high egt's under high load?

I normally take the lower radiator hose off, take the thermostat out and then a heater hose to completely flush out with a hose pipe. Connect everything back up and fill up whilst checking for leaks.

I've got a full length canvas roof in blue for a 109 for sale. 1 or 2 small holes in it but doesn't leak. Fabsilled before it went into storage, getting rid of it because I thought I may use it during summer months but the effort involved in removing a truck cab for a few months a year is the...

Well mines been off the road since 2002 so I have no insurance from Which to claim. I believe the standard clear glass is readily available and auto glass and the likes can get hold of and fit it. I think the later heated screen is more difficult to source. The only reason I did it myself...

Problem is you're really only using the series 3 for its tax exempt ID. The running gear won't be series, the chassis won't, nor will the steering. A better starting place would be a rotten defender, you'll already have the axles, bodywork, suspension and depending on age the 300tdi and...

If anyone is after a windscreen for a Range Rover classic try your local landy parts place first the quality of the service I reviewed from Devon 4x4 was top class. After trying paddock all were special delivery and after sending payment they would say the windscreen couldn't be delivered due...

I've finally done it. It's taken me on my own 7 hours today. But finally and thankfully the ordeal is over. Never want to do one on a Range Rover again. And now it's raining so hopefully it doesn't leak.

So effective you'll have a defender with a split windscreen? First rule of modifying any car don't build something you can already buy. If you want a series 3 get a series 3 and accept its flaws but enjoy it's character. If you want the comfort of coils and power steering get a defender...

Well I've heard of two different ways, windscreen in seal first then fit them to the windscreen frame or fit the seal to the frame and then the windscreen. Anyone have any views on what's easier

Bought a replacement windscreen for the classic and I'm really struggling to fit it. All brand new deals and windscreen. It's a 1984 non heated not that that should make a difference, anyone got any tips or can explain the easiest way to do a screen. I've done defender screens which are easier...

The clutch on my Range Rover slips really bad. I did a basic test before in 4th gear holding the brakes with a tiny bit of revs and it stalled. However today I went up my half mile long farm track and it just slips constantly. The engine revs like its in neutral, I held the brake when moving and...

If it works in low and not high the problem sounds like a rear half shaft These are easy to remove and check. Could be high range tooth is completely chewed up but you'd know if you had managed that. The other thing is to jack up the front so both wheels are in the air put it in low and try...

I've towed with a series 2 109 with 2.25 diesel and then a 200tdi. 2.25 is a pretty sorry state of affairs for anything over 1.5 tonnes. The 200tdi towed my Range Rover classic and 1 ton trailer so 3 tonnes all in and did well no low range needed. Also towed with a modern hilux the auto box and...

I personally don't think it will be a classic. The Range Rover classic was a groundbreaker at the time, it was a car that defined Britain and in it you see the brilliant and awful of British design and build quality, it has a stylish look and feel of the 70's and 80's yet manage to be...

Does anyone know if the splines for the front wipers remained the same throughout production? I've got the pin style wiper arms on my 84 classic but had to cut one off to get the scuttle panel off. The hook style wipers are readily available to buy and offer more choice of blade in more...

Probably spent about £400 so far. I just need a new windscreen and wiper arm, then put all the body panels back on, then fill up with fuel, put proper coolant and get the headlights working. Put some new tyres on the refuted rostyle wheels and do the rear brake pads. At this pace it should be...

The suspension was completely overhauled before I got it brand new everything suspension wise then just laid up. Drove it for about 15 minutes today and stayed in the middle of the temp gauge, got all the rear lights wired in today and all working, started repairing my tailgate as I was going to...

So for those who have seen my resto thread on my Range Rover classic I've finally driven it and it's nice however the clutch slips and is right and the top of the pedal travel so I'm guessing it's clutch change time. I've changed one clutch before on my series 2 but that was when I dropped a...
