Hi I am moving the engine forward, I bought the car with a 2.8 v6 and was quite impressed with how it drives but it was a bit smokey. So I have bought a 2.9 fuel injected V6 the beauty of this engine is there is plenty of room to move it forward. I've always been a petrol head so diesel was out...

As above. I have acquired a good LT77 to go in my series 3, unfortunately it didn't come with gear remote housing or stick. so anyone got one tucked away? Mick

Well I bit the bullet and ordered a Ashcroft plate that connects a LT77 to a series transfer box all looks quality stuff.I found a lt77 gearbox with good output splines and allegedly all gears good. If anyone is interested I'll put pics up as I go.

Hi all Well for various reasons thought I would fit a 5 speed box. My car has a 2.8 cologne engine. The conversion I am using is a Steve Parker conversion I emailed Steve who said the conversion would fit. So I obtain a gearbox and try it :-[ the slave will not go into position I can't...

Just repaired the MID on the Range Rover L322 with the non bond cable from AK speedo, it's 99% working one of the small boxes with FM in the F has a pixel missing everything else is working fine. It was quite easy to remove strip and fit the cable. But getting it back together was a pig. Mick

Sorry a James missed your post, yes you can see the shaft moving quite a lot I would guess 1/8 inch that's backwards and forwards in all forward gears engine not running foot on clutch. Mick

Cheers for the replies guys I would have thought if the bearing had gone it would be noisey in all gears firs and fourth work perfect no noise, 2 is a crunch when gearing down and third seems to jump out but doesn't, but won't come out of gear until you push it in then it frees up. Prob going to...

Ha who ever overhauled the gearbox had obviously wicked with a hammer it's fairly chewed up. I made a large socket fit and tightened to 100lbs thought that was the torque. But there is a huge movement when selecting gears. Mick

hi all The gearbox that is in my series was reconditioned box but 6 months after instal it started sticking in 3 gear. The PO was going to remove and send back but because of family problems it got dumped into the back garden where it stayed for a few years till I got it. I have now got it...

Cheers for the replies guys the chassis could be some kind of surface contamination haven't had it long enough to look into it been concentrating on getting it on the road. Mick

I guess the gear box went?

Well here's my series three back on the road it languished in the previous owners back garden for a few years. Fitted new foot wells and welded the rest of the bulkhead, changed to a truck, new wolf wheels with Kuhmo mud tyres and a quick roller paint job ( was camo ) going to do a rolling...

if the gearbox falls through wouldn't mind the second chance. Mick

Hi Rhys First I would try on the correct forum. Saying that spaces will solve your problem but so will winding out the stops on the hubs, this does lessen the turning circle. Mick
