WOW! that was one impressive reply! Thx. I will go for the suggested 20T blue. If it wobbles, I must replace it anyways thx! best regards Mathias

Hello. I am trying to figure out if my series 3 speedometer can be mated to the LT230. The LT230 has 1.003 ratio. The diffs are 4.7 ratio. And I have 33.1" tyres (255/85/16). The LT230 came without the speedo gears, so I need the proper parts as seen on this link Parts 16 to20. https://www.lrworkshop.com/diagrams/land-rover-defender-transfer-box/transfer-box-lt230/rear-flange_53758 My question is what gear would be most accurate. It is better if the result displays higher speed than actual, since I will not get the car approved if it is the opposite. Thx Best regards Mathias Bergen, Norway

Hello. I am wondering if I can use the old speedometer in my 1974 land rover series 3 with the LT230. And if so, how can I assure that the reading is correct? 1.03:1 ratio on the LT230. The rear axle is a 4.7 Salisbury. Tyres are 33. 1" (255/85/r16). Thx Mathias

hello. This is not the one I can use. see my initial post, where I describe what I have. It fits the motor all right, but not when the motor is in a Series III, because the placement of the motor results in the pulley hitting the chassis. I have the brackets, the ANR2003 pump, alas I need a pump that fits up and above, closer to the distributor. I know a guy in Norway that use a Hubour Eaton Pump 5503/8518/24 pump, and it is placed as mentioned above. Someone must have put a V8 in a series with PAS, and have found a solution to this.. I am at loss..

I have talked to some people saying that there are many different pa's pumps out there. And the alignment of the pulley etc might not be straightforward.. I do not find this very easy, since I am new to this. If you by any chance could point me i the right direction, and even better, give me some hint of parts numbers to look for. I need a suitable pump with brackets.. I have found this schematic, but I am not able to verify if this is viable route https://www.lrworkshop.com/diagrams/land-rover-defender-engine/v8-petrol-efi/power-steering-pump_53407

found this on Ebay, if this still is a viable route.. https://www.ebay.com/itm/ELECTRIC-HYDRAULIC-POWER-STEERING-PUMP-SERVO-MERCEDES-W168-VANEO-W414-A-CLASS-/382924696172?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0&fbclid=IwAR3NQbud5VyNfoDqPCfLKYbYkHkJVi8RTP8V03iAyMEz0jiiYz3Jl6cD7jA

after some googling, i found some feedback that claims this is not too straight forward.. see below one answer. I do not want to go down a route where I purchase fairly expensive parts that I can not use. I have already done that a couple of time... "Hydraulic Electric steering. Where to begin. It's not going to be purely electric, you need a hybrid system. It's basically just an electric pump that pumps when needed, so there is also a reservoir and accumulator. The units I work with are way to expensive to justify, and work on CAN, and require a 40 amp circuit. The easiest way I would imagine would be to have a small pump and accumulator with a pressure switch that operates to tell the pump to kick on."

hello ! I will definitely check out these suggestions. I really see the benefit of having an electric pump. Better still if it fit in the opening left behind by the old steering relay box. thank you very much -mathias

hello. Do you happen to know parts numbers? could this be a correct approach? https://www.advancedfactors.co.uk/power-steering-pump---defender-13634-c.asp

Hello. I am a fairly new member, living in Norway I am putting a Rover 3.5 V8 carburettor from a Rover SD1 (1984) in to a Series III 109 Exmil. I am also rebuilding the steering to power assisted steering, I have been trying to figure out what PAS pump to use. I purchased ANR2003 with ERR798 bracket and ETC6607. Alas, the low placement for this setup is impossible, the pulley collides with the chassis. Someone suggested a different pump, Hubourn Eaton 5503/8518/24 that could fit. Unfortunately I am not able to find this. I have found one on Ebay, but no reply from the seller. My guess is that someone on this forum has done this, and knows a lot more than me. I need all the help I can get, because I am now stuck. So if anyone here knows, and want to share, please do! best regards Mathias
