Are there two different elements?

And if you use a generic fit nothing cable you will loose the cold-start warning light.

Thanks but you are both missing the point. If you look in your handbook it lists two air cleaners: Standard; ie for UK models which is the Range-Rover type. Adverse conditions; ie export to Australia models, which is the large barrel. I'm suggesting there are two versions of the large barrel (but no...

Its strange that the American market hasn't picked up on Australasia as a good source of Series III's. Anyway, looking at the engine bay picture on this add poses a question for me. Is there two versions of the large air cleaner? Not the Range-Rover type nor the Cyclopac fitted to Australian diesels...

If you have a steering lock, then its listed in the Optional Parts Catalogue. This is regardless of whether the steering lock was factory fitted. The cables are unique. Though a lot of it may come down to length and what fitting is on the carb end. If you don't have steering lock, then there are a c...

I don't have a laser temp gauge to measure all this. They're damn expensive. But as ambient temp is going to be anywhere up to 40 deg C, what's the problem? Seems to be as lot of over thinking. The engine's thermostat won't be opening till at least 82 deg. Operating temp will be above this. Conducti...

So for us it only really leaves the 110 CV (non ABS etc.) as the target.

I will have to get the Commonwealth to donate a couple to my cause and see what can be done.

You think that's dear? Add another 100 GBP minimum, multiply by 2.5, and if the total exceeds $1000, expect a call from the Excise man when it arrives. Then repeat for the other side. Local new stock: NIL. If you check the various suppliers you may need to be clear about what you are getting. I vagu...

Despite some rather good workmanship in certain areas, it wouldn't be legal in Queensland by a long shot.

If you were determined to go disc, I would look at the Rocky Mountain kit or similar.

As annoying as the drum arrangement is, when well maintained it is acceptable.

Extended shackles.

Has anyone fitted the military extended shackels? Just about to install a set and the original axle straps seem a little short. I've checked all the parts lists I can find. All of which suggest the standard strap is correct. My only option so far is to only use the lower strap mounting holes (two ho...

My Rover still has its original springs which were reset a few years ago. However they have since started to list and sag. I'd prefer to fit all new and be able to forget about them. I tried both the links but it hasn't really left me any the wiser. Obviously there is a lot of variation depending on...

I am in a similar situation. However I have more or less decided upon standard springs with longer shackles and spacers for the bump stops to give some extra height. The main problems I have found locally is lack of choice and lack of information. There are two brands of spring made in Australia but...

There's no need to over think and make things more complex than they need to be. What is the sequence written in small characters at the very bottom edge of your speedo? Or if its a later replacement, this may be on a sticker on the side of the speedo's body. This is what's used to ID the speedo, no...
