    Wiring loom question

    i'll guess they are but again i guess there'll be differences between the S1 and S2/2a harness so if you're buying one i'd obviously specify the model/year and any modifications you want to the harness personally i'd build my own for a S1 or S2/2a to my own specs and directly onto the vehicle...

    Wiring loom question

    a 2a loom won't fit a S3 and vice versa without major bodgery so if you're buying a loom get one that's correct for the vehicle if it's an all steel dash/bulkhead it's a 2/2a, if there's lots of plastic it's a S3, i mention this as it appears you don't realise that the clocks and switches...

    Hensey’s M57 powered series

    a defender front end on a Series just looks a bodge in my opinion and when talking about giving the ability to put bigger engines in, that's tosh my dad (many years ago) put a 3litre IoE engine into his '52 swb without having to move his grill that far forward

    Blooming gearbox

    the rattle you hear when in neutral with your foot off the clutch pedal and ticking over "could" be the shudder springs in your clutch friction plate over time they can become slightly compressed and loose which creates a rattle on tickover, it's not necessarily something to panic over but...

    2009 TD4 won't start

    have you tried that spanner in the available space ?? i'm not sure a straight ratcheting combination spanner will fit the length of my standard cranked combination spanner made it difficult to get in there but i needed the crank and length to get it on the head of the filter to undo it...

    2009 TD4 won't start

    Thanks for your response, much appreciated although that wasn't the problem as such as we had in excess of a 1/4 tank of fuel the filter had been changed with minimal priming of it, almost dry so as soon as the engine initially fired up it used the little fuel in the high pressure injection...

    First proper test drive- some issues...

    and to fix your brake pedal issue you might want to attempt spraying some wd40 around the pivot of the pedal waggle the pedal like mad and hope it works its way in (gotta remove the oblong cover to get at it) and then to assist the pedal return to it's correct resting position put a second...

    2009 TD4 won't start

    it seems it's time to stick my nose in this section, a lad i work with changed a fuel filter today and now the engine refuses to start we've tried drawing fuel through the filter with a sqeezy bulb primer and drawn diesel into a tub then reconnected the fuel line to the high pressure pump...

    How hard to....

    as the others have already said, put coil springs under a Series and it becomes a modified motor, quite heavily modified now if you don't tell your insurance that it's been modified in this way you'll still get cheap(er ish) classic insurance BUT if you have an accident that requires your motor...

    salisbury gear ratio

    i have swapped an early Rover (1950s) 4.3 pinion and crownwheel onto a late 4.7 metric carrier when the need arose, the problem with early parts is mostly to do with bearings being imperial and the case being machined to suit the smaller bearings so i'd still check out Crown Differentials...

    salisbury gear ratio

    i would expect any 3.9 or 4.3 salisbury diff (for a landrover) to be a custom machined one. the only ratios i've heard of are the Series at 4.7 or the early 110 at 3.54 (although Salisbury were fitted to other makes of car but i've no idea if those would fit in your case) if both axles were...

    Series IIa service help

    you might consider checking and adjusting the brakes, find all the grease points six on the props and six on the steering it might be worth adding a little oil to the relay and checking the oil in the steering box then there's the swivels could probably do with draining and refilling air...

    200tdi or 300tdi?

    yes you can keep the capstan, you may need to have a modified crank bolt/drive dog made up and maybe a shortened driveshaft for it, if your engine carries any bracketry to support the engagement mechanism you'll obviously have to modify that to suit i've not even bothered attempting to refit my...

    Towing - what does the manual say?

    there's nothing about weights on my 109 2a plate as far as i recall

    200tdi or 300tdi?

    i "could" use extended bumpstops, i decided against them though to keep maximum articulation (i think i posted that earlier) when laning/offroad

    200tdi or 300tdi?

    lifting it lots is fine if you want to chop the tunnel about but both mine sit under standard tunnels and unmolested bulkheads all that is "needed" is a 1/2" lift to prevent 99.99% risk of contact, so if you only raise the engine by fitting spacers or taller rubber mounts then the pulley gets...

    200tdi or 300tdi?

    you've got it, springs on full compression (bumpstops type compression) and the pulley can/will hit the axle case just beside the diff housing all i can really see in your picture is the upper portion of it, waterpump etc' cast iron pulley will chip and crack, the pressed steel pulley...
