who is alex rover !

they are too wide for 5" landy steels for sure

top job on check list the water pump and reinstating the heater (as it was february and i drove home in hat and gloves and 2 coats due to the roof vent and doors bowing out :D ) i drained the system using the plug on the bottom of the radiator, and the plug on the bottom of the block. in...

break a halfshaft fella

hindsight though! i think if i had known all the stuff i know about now, i might have haggled a bit better :D i took it back to the garage that sold it to me, who also happened to be a pretty clued up old school land rover garage. (RST land rovers in essex)

i realise that most of this thread will be past tense and drip fed by copy paste, but here goes !! our gran passed away in 2015 (in her nineties) and a small amount of money filtered down from the will. i wasn't expecting anything to be honest so it was quite a surprise. i didn't want to...

glad you got it sorted, nice thread for future reference/searching too

agree, but i think i remember in his thread he had to cut out the wing mount holes and move them :confused:

that's a neat job, i like it ! it doesnt stand out like a sore thumb in satin black like yours, i've seen some in defenders where the metal plates are brushed alloy or stainless steel, too much ! maybe judicious use of black vinyl would "series it" down into the surroundings i have a copy of...

i've bought door bottom repair sections, rear tub cross members (galvanised type) rear tub replacement floor panel (4mm) the top hat sections that go under the rear floor plate, galvanised front wheel arch mud shields plus A2 stainless bolt kit, centre seat box tool tray, centre seat box lid...

yeah lots of excellent polyurethane seam sealants on the market that are rated for structural bonding.

nice resto this :) my first landy (i say that like it was years ago, but it was only 2009 !) was an A reg ninety, 2.3 petrol. fond memories !

i cant fault the make do a mend, have a go attitude. :) if you do go down the route of replacing your rear tub supports YRM in uk sell galvanised versions (now with correct series support brackets) they also sell the top hat channels which run north south under the floor, and floor plate...

santana were turbo charging the 2.25d in the late 70s, and goes without saying land rover turbod the 2.5d in the 80s. the 200tdi is of course a straight evolution of the same engine. why ? market trends and disgruntled buyers who wanted more than a terrifying 60 horsepower pushing a 1.5 tonne...

just to clarify, are you asking if you can use the heater blower as an electric supercharger ?

diesel 11 leaf springs have 70lbs more spring rate.

owning and working a series 1 does afford a bit of confirmation bias :D

cant really answer that, load on the fan couldve been getting an assist from high pressure coming in through the radiator. could be engine rpm (and thus voltage) related. no point having an inquest really, it doesnt sound like there is an actual fault, rather just an deficiency someone hasnt...

completely agree with sausage, get the fan off the landy fuse board. electric motors are basically a dead short circuit when you ask them to accelerate from stand still, so you get a huge spike in current which rapidly falls off. i think this huge spike is probably overloading (although the...

in my opinion its not even worth rationalising. try and put some oil in, worse that can happen is you waste 10 mins because its full
