on heavy good's vehicle's with cranked steering rod's they use a sleeve on one side with a left hand thread on the outside and right hand thread on the inside , so you can adjust the tracking without taking the steering knuckel's apart.

output is likely to be in the region of 100 amp .

so the spacer is only used on the 2.5NA and TD engine's ?

NSS means "not sold seperate" between the two gaskets is a plastic spacer around 5mm thick

i'll have a look inside the 4 bolt then , i have the rebuilt kit. now i only need to find a drop arm and nut for this one (i gues the 3 bolt doesn't fit the 4 bolt)

hello all ,
as some of you may know , i'm building the "eurover 110" , one question i can't solve at the moment is do i go with a 3bolt steering box , or is a 4 bolt really a beter option .
i have the (used) original 3 bolt from a french LHD 110 (probebly around 1984) , and i have a 4 bolt from a salvage yard , (should be from a discovery 2) both need rebuilding , but wich is the better/stronger option.
i know the main difference is a brass bush in the 3 bolt , vs a bearing in a 4 bolt.
what about the hosses , the engine is a 200tdi (defender spec) , do hoses exist for a 200tdi pump to a 3 bolt ? or do i need to get a custom hose made (or swap to a older steering pump).
so , i need some advice 🙂

The first time you get bogged because you forgot to engage them when leaving the road you'll realise why so many people don't like them.
There are benefits for people who use their 4x4 on tarmac only, but the benefits for vehicles that work regularly are outweighed by the negatives.
the Belgian army had a really good solution if you only drive on tarmac , remove the whole front axle and drive shaft, put a rigid beam axle in place and fit a limited slip rear diff .....👀

and don't forget the huge sill panels ... ( look's a bit strange to me ...)

have they cleaned the axle casing ? if debris is stil around in the tube's the halfshaft's run in , it will find it's way to the diff ....

on these older caravan's the relay's tend to get dirty/corroded , you can clean up the contact's with a small piece of sandpaper . (but do turn the power of )

whatever brand your buying , paint it , paint some more , and then apply a coat of paint to be sure ...
new tanks only have a very thin layer of primer/paint

Do I need to start another thread ?
i don't think you have to , as far as the vehicle goes , it would not be my first choice , since it's a converted serie's , who knows wat parts are used (and it's up to you to find them if you have to do some maintenance ....)
(don't know the rules in ireland , but in the Netherlands this is no longer a classic vehicle (you can only change 1 part of either chassis-engine-body ).

your looking for a 200/300tdi defender , and want us to have a opinion on a v8 serie's ....(or wat's left of it )

Lots of new hgv now have disc brakes as do new semi trailers, yes the are still air operated, well the air pressure keeps the brakes off, so reducing the air puts the brakes on, a air braked vehicle with no pressure in the system/tanks will not release brakes until sufficient pressure is built up.
not quit right , hgv and trailers use airbrakes (most use disc , but on some applications drums are still used) , the system is split in 2 sections , 1 is for parking and emergency braking (as in een air hose ruptered or a compressor failure) this system uses air to keep the brake off (normally around 8 bar , but newer trucks use higher pressure's) , in the emergency/parking brake cilinder is a huge spring, this put's the brake on if there is no airpressure.
second system is the normal brake , this uses a cilinder witch uses air pressure to put the brake's on , the 2 cilinders are put together in 1 unit for ease of fitting/space
not all axle's use the dual cilinder , only enough axle's to get a sufficient parking brake force (so the vehicle will stay on it's place when loaded with 40 ton on a incline with no airpressure.
