Still working on the rebuild of my motor. I am slowly falling down the rabbit hole on this. Machine shop checked everything out and says the bores don't look to bad and are within range with minimal wear but says the pistons are rather worn and need to be replaced. So my question is should I...

I have been told that I need to overhaul the front left and right swivel hubs of my '94 Defender 90. I need 2 "Swivel Hub Rebuilding Kits"? Does anybody know where I can track them down. I've tried Rovers North online but have found nothing.

I was wondering what everyone considers the "must have" manuals and books when you own a TD5 Defender 130? I want something that covers all repairs. Is the shop manual for Land Rover sufficient? I heard there were 2 parts, one for mechanical and another for electrical? Is this the one...

I know we have many heater box rebuild threads here. What I'm trying to figure out is what did you use as replacement thin foam inside the box on the flaps? Thanks

Don't judge, I'm new at this mechanical stuff... So I decided to grease my u-joints for the first time since doing my own oil changes (~12 mo) Here's what I found: 1. Both the front and rear shaft have a u-joint with one Zerk missing and one u-joint with a Zerk in place. There is a hole on...

Two years ago I purchased a 1967 NADA Series IIA from a friend who had owned it since 1980. In late '93 or early '94, he pulled the transmission to have it rebuilt. Long story short, the transmission, transfer case and Fairey OD went missing and the car never moved until October, 2016 when I...

Picked up (new, old style) stripped door from another member, getting ready to put things together. Have a few questions that some of you may have experience with... 1. Rear latch/lock. OEM is pretty expensive, are the $80 3rd party versions ok to run with? Mine is pretty beat and latch has a...

I have a 200tdi in need of a rebuild. Symptoms were excessive smoke, high crankcase pressure. Compression test was a little low on cylinder #1, close to 400psi for #2 and #3, but only about 300psi for cylinder #4. Figured it might be headgasket blown at #4 to pushrod tube. Pulled the head and...
