i bought a new one from keith gotts a couple of months back with no problems at all, took them a couple of days to get it in.
-
well u drove that day i was glad about the 8274 though
-
most series landies lean a bit, have you driven it much after the offroading or have you just parked it up? they tend to recover a bit and sit flatter afterwards
-
34*11.50 jt2's on 15*10 rims, arches trimmed just a tad a landrover is what you make it, some prefer the series look, i prefer the defender look
-
A34 i believe, on the way to a comp, they always break down at the most convenient times
-
thats J&R i think, bit of a one man band.
-
white smoke is normally head gasket
-
do it if u want to, its a landrover so its meant to be modified this is my 'series'
-
there is no centre diff in a series landrover, its either in 4wd or not. if its not the linkage then its the sliding dog stuck inside the front output housing. its probably been left standing in 4wd and siezed inside.
-
i remeber seeing heated screens for series somewhere (cant find website at mo) but i'm sure they were about 130 quid the pair
-
AFAIK they are all nut and bolt, mine are
-
wot he ^^^^^^^^^ says, use a series top housing and top hose
-
i cant help (wrong country) but why didn't you shove it into reverse? i know these things normally happen quite quick though. as already said, post up some pics
-
fitting 11" front brakes to a swb is fine, gives you twin leading shoe and are much more effective.
-
v8 efi air box, easy to mount and connect to
-
i'm fairly sure a series has one large spade and the rest are 1/4". def are all 1/4" AFAIK
-
the transfer box does need oil in it, i suspect that the oilseal is old and leaky allowing oil from main box into transfer box. as for bleeding the clutch, is the new slave cylinder installed the right way up? the bleed nipple should be uppermost.
-
a def part will fit a series, IIRC one of the terminals on the back is smaller on the def part though so your wiring will need changing to suit
-
you say you 'redone', exactly what have you done? if you've had them apart, did you change the oil seal between main box and transfer box? i suspect ypu're filling the main box and its flowing into the transfer box, this seal is never brilliant anyway.
-
are they real albrights? (which i suspect they are copies) then you wont find cheaper. personally i wouldn't fit cheap copies.
-
change the diff seal, the diff nose bearings can only be changed if you rip the diff apart. is there any play in the nose bearings? there is a thread in tech archive of how to cheat to do the swivel seal the easy way, the thread is for a coiler but it is the same for a leafer.
-
the adjustment is on the bulkhead screws
-
they've shipped me panels within the uk and they were well wrapped in sturdy cardboard boxes, no damage whatsoever. i think alot will depend on how they are handled when shipped. the door panels i bought off them were genuine lr aswell, a fraction of the rrp.
-
they're probably the same pillocks that sit on the centre lane of a motorway doing 50 mph, another hate of mine
