  1. have a good honest look at the parts when you open it up , a lot can be reused without much trouble . you could just rehone the bore's using a flexi hone and put new rings in them instead of having it rebored by a shop .

    if the cam is still good (all the measurements are in the manual) just reuse it and put some bearings in .

     

    (i had my own 200tdi rebored and fitted new pistons , i probely could got away with a hone and rings )

  2. i seem to have found the one 🙂 

    from my measurements i have this :

    outside 35.8mm or 1.40" (1 13/32") don't know if this is the correct translation

    inside 22.2 or 0.87" (7/8" ) this is the shaft size , not the inside off the bearing)

    thickness 9.6mm 0.37" (3/8")

     

    and after a long time googling i found this

    https://www.ebay.ca/itm/153998864061

    if you scroll down the bottom it state's the size's in inches and they seem to match .

     

    way to expensive , so i keep hunting 🙂

    It is likely that you have the correct shoes. Some aftermarket makes have the same length linings on trailing and leading shoes, unlike the originals. The defining feature which distinguishes the leading and trailing shoes, is the height of the pin which the adjuster acts on. The leading shoe is the one with the pin lower down the shoe than the trailing shoe. Leading shoe goes closest to front of vehicle. If fitted incorrectly, and or the adjusters are not backed off correctly in relation to the pins, adjustment and or fitting will be difficult. 

    The details on this link apply to both series and defender 110 salisbury axles.

    Hope you get it sorted, regards, Diff.

    thanks , that's very informative.

    (i didn't have a go at the brakes myself (stuck in the sickbay with knee surgery)) so asked the local garage to have a go at it , they couldn't get it to work so just put the old worn shoes back on ....

  4. seems there are 2 different types of brake shoes : STC359 (for heavy duty axles (over 3050kg and 130's)) and RTC3418 for "normal" vehicles .

    these seem to be supperceded with the STC2797.

     

    the strange part is that the brake back plate's have a different number as well AEU2496 and AEU2497 for the normal axle and STC361 and STC360 for heavy duty axle and 130's .

     

    so if the backplate is different , why are the shoes renumbered to the same set ?

    could it be that a 3 door 110 has the Heavy duty axle, as opposed the 5 door stationwagen having the normal axle ?

     

    (just had surgery on my knee , so can't crawl under to see the axle number)

    How much does your fridge take?  mine just 70 watt's.   Or go for a dual set up?  

    the Eurover will get a double setup with lithium , for now a single battery has to do . with the setup i have now i can run my fridge for 2 maybee 3 days and still be able to start without trouble's . (fridge is a Engel MR040)

  6. hello all , 

     

    just had  a suprise , i needed rear brake shoes for my 1987 110 3 door, sallisbury axle and ordered "RTC3418" these seem to be superceded with STC2797G.

    however , these don't fit , the brake material is too thick and the pins for the adjusters don't fully line up with the adjusters .

    the brakelining itself is also the same on both shoes , different from what i got fitted (the trailing shoe has less material on the botom) 

    the shoes are from Ferodo , so a decent brand ....

     

    anybody know what shoes i need to get ?

  7. it doesn't only happen in england , i'm at home at the moment , recovering from a knee surgeree , and my wife was feeding the birds outside and noticed a box on our frontdoor.

    it turned out to be a fruitbasket from work (nice gesture !) , it has been outside at least a full day in the pouring rain .....

    i'm at home (never been out the door) and have seen nobody put it there , so they didn't even bother to knock on the door ....

     

    had the same happen with a lot off parcels , being at home and never seen anybody , only to find out on the parvcel tracker that "there was nobody home" , so go collect your parcel from a drop off point.

    or they just leave it at neigbours 4 houses away without telling you they did ....

  8. i think the main reason is , people don't complain enough when they have a faulty part . they just swallow it and go on ....

    even Britpart come with a 2 year warranty .... but if they don't get recalls on faulty parts , they must asume there perfect ...

    Cheers Simon, very helpful. Curious though, whats the difference between that relay and the Victron one (just so I can understand this whole subject better!)

    as far as i can see : nothing ....

    to be fair , it doesn't charge your main battery first  and then charges the second , it connects both battery's when the voltage is above 13.3 volts .....

    so it charges both more or less at the same time ..
