Why not?

I have just put a new cam/followers/rockers/shafts/oil pump in mine and
the whole job was only half a day.  Though to be honest the cam and
followers that I took out seemed OK (!) but the general advice for low
oil pressure was to do the lot. 

I also found a top tip (that you probably all already know) for flushing
the carbon out of the engine, use hydraulic oil as a flushing oil at
each oil change.  After three applications the inside of the engine was
as clean as a whistle!

Only jobs left now are copious amounts of welding and an oil seal on the
rear offside wheel.  Next weekend I think.

I'm afraid so Frank.  I was wondering how long it would be before someone
noticed.  Mark and I have been mates for a while now.   It was quite a fun
day, if not a little dirty.  Mark is still cleaning the mud out of his 90 !

Subject: Salisbury Axles

I have a Salisbury Rear Axle from a Series 3 Station Wagon  (4.7:1) if
things get to the stage where you want to replace yours.

If you're interested I'm sure we can arrive at a suitable price.

Subject: Sailsbury diff problems

I would first check if the worn splines you are feeling are the ones at the diff
end of the shafts or maybe and more probable the ones on the driving flange at
the wheel end of the shafts ( been there, done that)  otherwise as Frank said a
Salisbury is quite a hefty thing to break .   Re red stuff in your 90 I assume
it came from the gearbox which would make it Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF).
This is exactly what the workshop manual recommends for my 1989 110"  ( 5 speed
with reverse to the left of first gear) .  On the other hand I believe that the
transfer case takes EP90 gear oil but I would refer to a manual for ease of mind
and pocket.

I was talking about the tin plate gasket, there is a rubber sealer/locator
on the back and I never had enough hands to get it correctly in place..
mind you I'm tal;king of my old 72 Range Rover here, it may be easier to get
at on the 110.....

     Did anyone else see Nancherrow last night? SWMBO made me watch it, and 
     just as I was dozing off, lo and behold, a very pretty Tickford 
     station wagon! The thing was set in 1947...oops, but there was alot of 
     that station wagon in it which cheered me up no end :)

Hi all

First thanks Adrian for the recent advice on removing the drop arm.

Second can anybody help with an address I can contact for spares for my
Superwinch Free-wheel Hubs. I require replacement allen bolts and a felt
washer/seal.

TIA

This is a 1980 Rangie... I found the secret was to stick it down with
silicon sealant.  That was the only way I could have the peace of mind
that it hadn't moved!

To be sure I stuck (although it doesn't really stick as such) the most
of the gaskets in place - with the exception of the oil pump.

A local engineering shop would be the best place for the Allen Bolts -
there is nothing special about them - you'll probably be able to get 20
Stainless ones for under a fiver.

The felt washer could easily be made by yourself with a little
imagination...
