Good on you for taking the trouble! I always mean to do something like this, but never have the time . . . because I'm always working on a Land-Rover, ironically.

Easy! Torque is what you can manage with a standard-length spanner - not one of those American-style long ones. The "spacer" is actually an oil catcher. The parts book shows it backwards. If you look at the stub axle there should be a machined notch. Since the brake backplate goes onto the...

Thanks - I stand corrected. Wouldn't you know I'd forgotten all about that and didn't look at the coverplates for the Rangie housing. My Rangie parts book says: Up to gearbox #35506011A = bellhousing #571832 (this is the pressed steel coverplate 610926) From gearbox #35506012A to 35567045C = bellhou...

Naw, check your parts books - same numbers. I've also got Rangie LT95 parts and Stage I LT95 parts sitting next to our front door, (as you do! My poor wife), and there's no difference that I can see.

Europe in the summer and probably in Morocco in October
. . . and don't forget the Pilbara and Kimberley in October as well! It'll be 47c or so by then - bring your shorts!

I suppose there's a bit more horsepower, but it's still just a 2.25 petrol. The Roverdrive was always fine with that motor - until we were driving through the Pilbara and it was in the low-to-mid forties. I know you've been on tours through Australia, but I would guess that was during the Dry season...

Ray, it would be good to see them available but if you're serious about selling them in Australia for bigger engines like the V8s and Isuzu diesels then you should resolve the problem Roverdrives have with extreme heat. You may remember me contacting you about mine burning oil when running at 100kmh...

The key to stop them leaking is to replace the flange,
But . . . but . . . it was a new axle!!! Maybe being in storage did it.

However, that's good advice for any of these parts, whether on an axle or gearbox. I've used Speedi Sleeves and they can be quite good but a new flange is the best.

The Salisbury is a bit different for this job in that you must mark the position of the pinion shaft, retaining nut, and flange, and then count the number of turns it takes to completely undo the nut. This is so that it will all go back together without putting more load on the collapsible spacer th...

We well and truly covered this some time ago. I posted a description with tooth count for the Stage I and Rangie speedo drive gears.

So don't waste time mucking about with strange speedometers - use a SIII 109" speedo and the correct drive gears. Like the factory did!

All true . . . but what was happening to Series Ones in the '70s? And what's happening to SIIAs and SIIIs now? The same thing: the SIIA and SIII these days are common and old, just like the Series I back then, and nobody wants them. Sure enough, once most of them are wrecked and thrown away, there w...

Well, you can't do worse than what disinterested sellers and manufacturers get up to. By contrast, you only have to look at the Series I stuff to see how a very small but enthusiastic market can support a few specialists. I was thinking about making and repairing some Stage I parts one day, like fro...

What an interesting thread. Poverty has been the usual reason I've made my own stuff, but now I'm glad it's worked out that way. It's just ridiculous what these companies get up to, and you know, I've been reading Landie magazines for almost twenty years and it hasn't changed - they just keep gettin...
