Camshaft and followers (lifters), timing chain and the chainwheel on the end of the camshaft. Oil pump end cover and pump rotors. Think about replacing the main bearing bolts with heavy duty items. You might as well change the mains and big ends, but until you have the engine apart you will not know...

Was it you that left a message for me about this last week? If so, I tried ringing you back a couple of times but your mobile was switched off. I might be able to help with the clutch sleeve (I think I have a spare one, will have to check) but not the linkage. You'll probably have to make that yours...

The Stage 1 bulkhead is exactly the same as the later 4 cylinder one. It is quite hard to describe the difference between early and late bulkheads without pictures, but here goes: There is a flange on the back face of the bulkhead, to which is fixed (on a 4-cyl bulkhead) a U shaped cover plate which...

You have to remove the damper cap and piston altogether. You then insert the special tool into the cylinder that the damper piston sits in. The tool has two parts - a central rod which engages with the upper end of the jet and screws it up and down relative to the dashpot, and an outer ring which en...

If your vehicle has been fitted with carbs from an earlier Range Rover, they may have external jet adjustment, in which case you don't need a special tool. I found this page which explains the difference between the various Strombergs, and also how the special tool works: http://www.roverklubben.se/...

Strombergs in good condition should be reasonably easy to set up. A few things before you start: 1. While you have the carbs in bits, if they have the little spring loaded valves in the throttle discs, clean them up and then solder them shut using soft solder and a blowtorch. Otherwise you will neve...

If the float in one of your carbs sticks or you get a bit of dirt stuck in the float needle valve, those lines will take the overflowing fuel away from the engine bay and dump it on the ground, instead of over the top of your hot engine. That makes them a Good Thing IMO. Stromberg carbs seem to be a...

Uglyrover is on the road!
I finally got all the paperwork sorted out to register my 110 V8 Hicap today, so here it is: http://www.glencoyne.co.uk/storage/lkk1.jpg http://www.glencoyne.co.uk/storage/lkk2.jpg I took it for a short drive this evening - it goes well, but the gearbox (LT85 Santana) is terrible - lots of backlash ...

These V8s seem to suffer from airlocks when you have drained the system. Did your new thermostat have the little hole in it with the pin that waggles about? (Not a very good description I know, but if you have seen one you will know what I mean.) This can help the air to escape. Try undoing the smal...

I had a look at the two gearboxes today. Prop flanges - the rear flange is the same stud pattern on both boxes, so a Stage 1 rear prop will bolt straight up to an LT230 transfer box. However the front flange on the LT230 is the same stud pattern as the rear, so the double jointed Stage 1 front prop ...

Re: other gear box options
Richard - in your experiences at your growing shop - have you ever swapped out an R380 or other 5 speed into a Stage One? I haven't tried it yet. The main problem is that the LT95 has its own integral transfer box, whereas every other LR gearbox uses the LT230 transfer box. I don't know how the key...

That's an interesting vehicle. See the 110 pattern tail lights? I've never seen that on a 109 Station Wagon before, only on the last batch of 109s built for the British Army. And it has a metric speedo even though it is RHD. Must have been a special order vehicle for someone, possibly built some tim...
