Hi dudes Has anyone seen one of these before on a 88"? - I have, and have one in my workshop on an 'aquired cant pay my bill' 11a 1969 H diesel. Does anyone know who made these things, it's not that nice to look at (has side windows - no rears) I will replace this so if anyone is interested let me know. You cant tell its fibreglass at first look, only when you get in. cheers Bade

Manual on the the way - if you dont get it give me you email on this forum Cheers Bade Overdrive_Manual.pdf

I agree dont go too cheap - you dont want to do it twice cheers Bade

Hi Can anyone tell me or can the owner let me know the whereabouts of the above vehicle - my father owned this from new as a gamekeeper on Llanover Estate in S. Wales. I have seen this vehicle in Usk, Gwent S.Wales about 2 years ago fairly standard running one white 8 spokes, I understand its on a SORN. If anyone knows its whereabouts / owner etc. please post it up. I am interested in buying it for sentimental reasons CHEERS Baden

Hi mate If the swivels are pitted and you are going in - go for the lot, change the cv's too it's so easy when you are in there. Search the sites and get the full swivel overhaul kit and buy new axle to swivel bolts (12 point ones and an extra long 14 mm combination series britool spanner from 'Prime Tools'). The new swivels are teflon coated (matt black) so dont try to find the shiny face. Try paddocks and mm 4x4 and mail order 4x4 o' yeah l.r. series are great on price /del if you have part no.s Just done mine - looking good I'll send some pics tomorrow, check the lounge I'm sure there's some info there

Nice one dude, thanks for doing the hard work for me. - still working on other peoples 90's & series IIa's cheers Bade

Hi CV Joint starting to break up maybe! - It would make that sort of sound on acceleration cheers Baden

Cheers Chris I've been in there before so 'I'm going in!' Got loads of painful jobs to do so whilst I'm removing roof to repair top front rail of the megarust variety and got the windscreen out to weld a piece in the A pillar I may as well have something to do during tea break! Ta muchly Bade anymore?

Cheers Guys I'm told the later ones wont fit as the motor and linkage is somehow different. I've also been told the later motor'n'stuff isn't interchangeable as well - did have a chance of a 93' set-up keep em coming everyone Bade

Hi here we go, another weird one. Has anyone swopped a steel sunroof and cartridge for a glass one. Are all factory sunroofs the same size? I've got the chance of a complete glass sunroof and cartridge, my steel one is ok doesnt leak but is minging inside and just showing the foam backing. I have been told that it possible it wont fit and need to change the whole roof - dont have a problem with that as the roof is coming off to do the rusty top rail - Has any one got a good roof that HAD a glass sunroof? cheers in advance again Baden

Received very nice shiny gearboxes from ashcrofts - many thanks Dave and everyone - to be fitted over xmas (hopefully). bade '.

Err right! cheers fridgie Bade

New swivels just fitted plus 'gay' bailcast rubber gaiters! - wot do you think? - its gonna be a good few weeks before Mr MOT Man gets at it (should i loose the bailcast thingies?) cheers Bade

Come on Guys must be someone out there (including the pros) that must have tried this or am I the only unlucky one with high level air-con/ shower for free! cheers Bade

Just rebuilding the front axle c/w new calipers, vented cross drilled discs from ZEUS Engineering (very nice) - I've decided to leave out the disc shields, will Mr MOT Man moan/fail this when I take it in for rangies ticket. cheers dudes Bade Saturday nights are for workshop worries

Yeah check out the photo - when i received the box (nice man - plus loom) see whats attached - I'll take some photos of the loom, plugs etc and any help on the instrument end would be good bearing in mind this came out of a 300tdi disco cheers Bade

Boxes now winging their way to Ashcrofts for total rebuild - I'll stay in touch and report the final result. Bade
