Front or rear?
Eric.

My mistake. There are two. There should be one on the LH gearbox mount as well.

Do you mean this?

It is a heatshield and there is supposed to be only one according to the parts manual.

The new one still works.
And there is this.

Atleast some if not all TD 110s had a 1.41:1 t-box.
Mike
You are right. I did forget the 2.5 TD.
I had one of those engines and must have banned it from my memory.

I actually thought only very early 110s with the 2.25 and some with 2.5 were 1.6 with all 90s being 1.4?
Anyone got an early 110 to check?
I had a 1986 110 2.5NA for years and that had a 1.6:1 T-box.
The first 110 with a 1.4 T-box was the V8 and after that the 200TDi.
Al the 90's have an 1.4 T-box except the 90 V8 which has a 1.2:1 T-box.

I actually put 255/85s on my 2.5NA 110 and the gearing is much nicer (and the speedo more accurate!) than it was with 7.50s. I can't imagine how unpleasant a 90 would feel, with the same gearing, on 205s!
As far as i know the 2.5NA 90 had a 1.4:1 T-box and 205/80/16 tyres and the 2.5NA 110 had a 1.6:1 T-box and 7.50X16 tyres.

I have never worked on the Zenith, but according to my manuals it is supposed to sit on the other end of the accelerator pump spindle.

I just made one myself from some scrap metal and a regular spare wheel carrier.
Don't forget to put a reinforcement (load spreader) on the inside of the rear tub at the top hinge.
Bottom hinge is bolted to the rear crosmember so that is sturdy enough.

Has your 1986 90 always been a diesel?
If so it should have a fuel sedimenter as well as a fuel filter.
The sedimenter on a early 110 is on the outside of the left hand chassis rail next to the tank. I don't know where it sits on a 90.
A lot of people forget to clean the sedimentor regularly and when its full of gunk it will cause fuel starvation.

STC4382 and RTC3429 are different numbers for the same bearing.
Your Timken 359S/354X is the RTC3416 which is the inner bearing for a pre '81 serie LR.

Hi Thijs,
A 2,5 or 2,25 4 cilinder petrol won't get you better MPG than a Rover V8.
Like arjan says,they are nice engines but a bit thirsty. Especially in a 109 or 110.
I have a 90/110 2,25 petrol (11H) in my serie 2a 88" and that does 1:7 (litre/Km) on petrol(at best) and 1:5,5 to 1:6 on LPG.
I know people with the same engine in a 110 who don't even get up to 1:5 on petrol on the motorway.

Rear axle flange PCD 115mm.
Front axle flange PCD 109mm.

I have two spare axle cassings here (serie 2a 88") and I did a quick check.
PCD of the front and rear axle flange is definitely different.
I can do some accurate measurements later if you want. Of to bed now. early days tomorrow.

I had a pinion breakage on a rear rover diff(serie 2a) which gave those symptoms but you will have a lot of play when you wiggle the diff flange.
Do you have drive in all gears?
If not in first and jerky in 2nd and 3rd but smooth in 4th it is probably a broken layshaft.

I think I have seen this truck before on this forum. Maybe a year or so ago. It was for sale then also and the coclusion then was that it is a ringer.
The rear crossmember is series but it is welded on on top of the cut down main beams as you can see in the second picture.
In the last picture you can clearly see the "S" shape of the chassis in the rear wheel arch. So probably RR chassis.
Axles are RR or Discovery by the looks of the drive members.

According to my book (serie 2/2a parts cataloque) 330542 seal for door,bottom,sill.

I have one on my 2,25 Petrol (11H) for some years now and it is superb.
Much much better then a normal mixer.
I don't know if one will do with a 4.0 liter V8 but a mate had only one on his 3.5 with no problems at all.

I don't know what it is like in the rest of Europe, but in Holland a series Land Rover is allowed to pull 2000Kg max and there is only one approved towball for series Land Rovers.
This one from BRINK which is rated at 2000Kg.
The towball will not fit a militairy rear crossmember.

DA1070 is a Britpart number so I doubt that they are made by Allmakes.

There was a member of the Danish serie 2 club that did that but that site has been of the net for a while now.
It is basically the same as this dutch guy did fitting a 2,25 diesel exhaust manifold to make a 200di.

Series 2a stub axle
in Series Forum
Posted
The early front stub axles had a bronze bush in them as a bearing for the stub shaft.
On later models this bronze bush was skipped as it was originally for the serie 1 axles with tracta joints and not needed for the later half shafts with UJ's.
I don't know excactly when they skipped the bush but it was somewhere during the serie 2/2a production.
All i can think of (if its the front that is giving the problem) is that the wider part at the end of the splines on the stub shaft is slightly wider than the ID of that bush.
After that bush is pressed in to the stub axle it has to be reamed to the right ID and i know it is then a thight fit on the wider parts of the splines when you put the half shaft through.
If it is a rear half shaft then i don't know what the problem could be. The ID of the stub axles is slightly larger than the largest OD of the halfshaft.
