    Well on would hope check would be done. I had similar issue with a tractor some years ago when adjustment was not done.

    New clutch lasted 243 miles

    Possible there was no free play at clutch master cylinder rod, the result is like someone riding the clutch pedal all the time . Clutch does not fully engage and so slips some and will wear out quick.

    Landrover 12j rocker cover

    Rocker cover center stud fixes into the rocker shaft block. If this the case then you need a replacement or a thread repair to sort.

    Gearbox

    Think you will have to stay with the 9.5 due to flywheel location pins. With old landy's one often just does not know what others have done in the past. 2a diesel models do have 9.5 unit.

    LT230 gaskets

    Two each their own, but I still like old method of paper gasket smeared with grease. Next time something gets opened up someone will not be struggling to clean off silicone like I recently did with 230 I sorted last year. If you do use silicone do not go daft with the amount used, stuff...

    Death wobble and swivel pin preload.

    Were the duff bush's poly type or metalastic type. Six month's is a short time for any type. There sure are some poor quality parts about these days.

    Problems starting and temp gauge issue after work on instrument wiring

    When up to working temp the thermostat opens to allow coolant to rad. Most will have a thermostat that opens at 88 degrees so your reading there and on the top hose should be somewhere near that. Top of rad close and the lower down the rad face cooler.

    Problems starting and temp gauge issue after work on instrument wiring

    You can check your engine temp with a hand held IR temp reader, aim at thermostat housing, top hose and radiator just after you have stopped.

    Stubborn Fuel Filter Remical

    An easy way to gain access is to release bonnet stay and lean bonnet back against screen, support with a long stick for safety. As I remember the 19j filter is the old type that does not unscrew. A bolt on the top/middle part of housing goes through filter into lower bowl. Undo bolt.

    Death wobble and swivel pin preload.

    Clicks can come from partially seize UJ, have had one totally seize and boy did that result in a vibration that nearly shook steering wheel out of my hands. The joint in question was well hot but when cooled I was able to drive home. Not saying it is your issue though. Click could be coming...

    Battery warning light with new alternator

    Pretty simple check, with volt meter connected at alternator output when engine running you should have 13 to 14v showing. However as yours is a fitted for radio military model than it would have had a 24v system. Has it been converted? This is an issue in that previous owners have often...

    Death wobble and swivel pin preload.

    Clonks while moving off/slowing down are usually related to axle play both front and rear in places like the various rods and links and bush's that attach them to chassis. A classic is the A frame joint on top of the rear diff but this would not be anything to do with original issue. Clonk on...
