Missed that,.... I did a search before I posted as well,... oh well... thanks Filip, ... if anyone has a HD rear bumper for a RRC let me know please ...
-
Just went back to a saved link to discover it seems to be no more,.. and that's a shame. Has the business been sold somewhere?... there were some nice bits and bobs there.

Welcome Alan,..... can't help with the selector I'm afraid but perhaps we should warn you that Land Rover owners have a varying range of skills!.... and one mans 'obvious' is a another mans 'mystery', It is why I like the forum and it's sharing nature. I am also guilty of making 'temporary' repairs that work for a while and get forgotten, .. it happens.

Well it has a certain charm! It doesn't really matter what you call it so long as nobody tries to use it
Has home made look to it, but the gearbox and drum look familiar, ..... are you thinking of acquiring another project Arjan?

A modulator bleed can be a tricky operation, it requires resistance at the outlets (closed nipples) and full brake pedal pressure to open the master cylinder circuit. The internal valves of the modulator will expel the air into the wheel lines. I am not familiar with the Lynx unit and whether it has a modulator specific bleed operation?
If the Lynx is just power bleeding then be careful not to run the pump too much at a time. Is this a used replacement? was it carefully removed and ports capped?
-
Well it would be interesting to see what's involved, I can't believe someone hasn't thought about it already but I'll watch with interest!

On the strength of that I'd be tempted to ask you to do me one! ............ not practical...... but it does look good.

Just realised it is a 'private' group called Range Rover classic 1970-95 parts for sale/wanted chat and advice.
So just in case it is still innop. I have snipped the photo.

My apologies,..... this isn't one of my strong subjects,..... I'll have one more go,...

Just throw this in the mix, ..... never seen a RR that long!

I know it's a case of .... 'Holy thread revival Batman!' but I missed this at the time and it sounded like a fun project, .... I guess that any work on the RRC has been shelved in favour of the Vogue rebuild and the Lotus project. But I do wonder if @Shackletonstill fancies doing something like it??

Plenty of copperslip and they should come out.
I have taken to using ally based anti-seize for all things ally, just seems to make sense.

In a series you need a non -setting compound, ........ I think @Shackletonhas a great video on putting a non-bonded windscreen in .

....and I thought we were guessing what the engine crane was going to get turned into! Definitely missed something along the way

I spent a long time looking for a D1 lever assembly to convert mine* and ended up paying for the Ashcroft one which was a lever and cable assembly, I may be wrong but I thought it was more or less the same? either way the same logic applies, it is a basically reliable system, diff lock may just be wound up, or there is some problem with the mechanical connection between lever and gearbox??
*Land Rover things were much thinner on the ground in France at the time.

Bead breaker for outsize tyres?

The diff lock can wind up the transmission unless you are off-road, so it might not pop out instantly when dis-engaged. If you have some gravel or slippery surface nearby then try driving in a circle or on nearly full lock for a few metres one way and then the other, should pop out then if there isn't any major problem.
The diff-lock lever operates via a cable, it is usually reliable; I suppose it might have snapped when engaging the diff-lock in which case you will have to crawl under and physically disengage it with a screw driver or something.
Ashcroft transmissions website have a video showing the fitting of the linkage to a D2, which would serve to give you an idea of the mechanism if needs be.

Guess 2... using the base to mobilise something you already have?
-
Guess 1 ... A lift table/platform?
-
The 'Terminator' or perhaps the ICBM spec, known as the 'Nuke' for short ( takes out any obstacles )

I have seen that combined pattern a lot in France mainly on light trucks, I think they are commonly rated at 5000kgs over there which suggests they probably are quite robust although I never tried one, I have DB's.

So the RRC failed the MOT it no longer needs on a few bits and pieces, one of which was the steering box leak. Having had an expensive couple of months I didn't want to spend out on the JLR tool, or even the Sykes to pull the arm off, so I was pleased to see the laser tool 6664 at less than a third of the Sykes money.
The downside is that the Defender box it is designed for is slightly different and it doesn't fit ... quite.
It was only a couple of mm but the inside needed a shave, ....
And the bolt needed chamfering a little, ....
..... after the third clamp was added in it all went quite well, and the puller made light work of the steering arm, I had feared it would fight me but it couldn't have been easier.

Turning knocks generally come from the front driveshaft CV's, it might 'feel' like the centre just because it is transmitted back down the drivetrain? Right turns generally demand more from the RHS so that would be the first check.
