Hi, currently i'm converting a 109 series 3 to V8 using an LT 85 a part-time LT230 and the original mounts as used in a 110. Yesterday i've started to put the drive train into my chassis- is it right that both propshafts can not be set parallel to the fictive middle chassis line? So in a 110 (V8) with salisbyury diff the propshaft setup is angular? Best regards Sascha

Hi! Is the "classic" 4 spoke steering wheel of 90/110 (also found in RRCs with different wiriting on the "impact-cussion") the 19mm type??? I've recently bought a new steering column (the seller beliebved it was for a 200/300 Tdi, but he wasn't certain) for my power steering conversion. I' just tried- the original TD5 steering wheel doesen't match this column... how many different of types of 90/110/Defender columns do exist??? Ciao, Sascha

I am running 33mm wheelspacers in combination with (standard) 5,5x16 wheels and 7,5 inch tyres. I´ve done 10.000 km since fitting them and had no problems- the turning cycle is now really nice and driving through curves even better. See pics below. The spacers were for free, so hadn´t to go for other wheels and tyres; the combination of wolf wheels and 235/85x16 would be my prefered option.

yes, i am going to transplant it into my 109 next spring. it is not the first box, but i want to substitute the pricy german traders for parts...

I have to rebuilt a worn LT 85 gearbox. Where should i buy the needed parts? LEGS or Ashcroft or???????

...what about this engine setup: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=9zjSnGgrXQU

you´re right- and i was: sascha

how do you know this? the fact that his landy is a series 2 isn´t a good hint for the engine-type (3 v 5 main-bearing)that is currently installed... it was maybe updated/changed in the past (or is the kind of flywheelhousing pictured above a hint???)...

you only have to remove the last bearing-block of the crankshaft, located next to flywheelhousing. don´t you have a workshop-handbook for series vehicles? it is available in the internet without problems and without having to pay for it... i´ll send you a pm with a link for that...

the crankshaft-seal of engines which have got 3 or 5 main-bearings are different. the older 3 main-bearing crankshaft has got a "slip-over" seal (there is a cut through the oilseal) and the 5 main-bearing crankshaft is a "push-on" seal 8 (no cut), like in all later ( i think past 1980) engines... make a pic of the side of your engine, so we may identify a 3 or 5-main bearing engine!

Maybe u give Paul at www.heystee-automotive.com a ring/try? Very friendly guy, i´ve seen this kit sometime ago: really good craftmannship and common parts used... i will go for such a kit (front) next year: perhaps this kit matches the sal!? ask him..

Hi Andy! May u shoot some more pics of your nice truck, especially the corners around the axles??? C heers, Sascha
