The pump should be plug and play when it comes back. The pump timing may need some fine adjustment. Mine ran perfect after a rebuild so I left it as it is.

I saw my first Ineos the other day. What great looking 4x4. I would rather sink my money into an Ineos than build a $100000 dream mobile The Grenadier would get the resale value

I dont think so Dougal, you are letting your mouth get ahead of your brain. The first lwb LR was the 127inch introduced about 85?. These were made in England and outside by contractors. Toyota also sold kits to extend the cabs on the 45 series landcruisers and some countries like Australia...

Since you mentioned it, they sagged quite a lot, probably down to the rubber stops. Im only guessing the weight due to the size and shape of the sides on the aluminium tray. And yes, your beloved Landrovers do break in half. As for the militaries using them, most of them are former British...

Fabrication is your forte Dougal and always has been. Remember when you stated that there were only 5 HDJ100 series in the world with 5 speeds? LOL

We use to put nearly 3 tons of wet concrete + 4 passengers, in the back of 2 x 75 series and drive them over rough ground. The OEM suspension sagged a fair bit, but they did it and kept on doing it. No landrover could do that without breaking in half.

I would get a small fuel container and fix it to the inside of the engine bay and run the fuel directly into the injection pump. This would isolate the problem. You shouldn't need to do this. Even if the fuel lines are completely dry, it should only take 30 pumps to draw fuel from the tank to...

I have never seen diesel with water in it . I think they are overexaggerating the problem. That type of fuel cleaner has been around for years, it just emulsifies it enough to run through the pump. I think a water alarm in the fuel system and a glass bowl is of more benefit. I had a glass bowl...

I'm wondering if it was a pump problem, somehow the fuel is leaking past a valve or something and running back into the fuel return. But do the cheap things first.

These will run on any diesel. The 2L engines are indirect injection, so it will have a pre combustion chamber.

I would go ahead with it if you can afford to rebuild it or buy a factory turbo engine sometime in the future. The truth is, your 1HZ's best days are behind it, but if you take it easy, you might get a few more years out of it. Some diesel shops demand a compression test before they will fit a...

Some kits come with the camshaft bearing seal. I did mine because it had a slight leak

Same part with a different number. It could just mean they were made in another factory. Beno would know.Those numbers are good for all markets.

It would be the same as a MWB or any leaf sprung 70 series. The coil sprung towbar may fit

Im unaware they have a date code. With timing belts, you either use them or throw them away. If a belt needs to be changed, you should be using a new one. And if you need field spares, I would only have new one as a spare. But they do not fail very often and will do 3 times the 100000 klm...
