viking Posted November 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 just treated Bonni to a nice new galvanised radiator panel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking Posted November 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 Single line usually means from the brake cylinder one pipe to each front brake and one pipe along to chassis where the pipe splits at a T junction on te rear axle to each rear wheel. They are usually quite straight forward to change but make sure you have the absolute corect spanner size for the joints otherwise you will round the nuts. Also - getting the flex hose unions undone from chassis to rear axle is a right sod. I cut mine off at the fixing bolt anf repalced the bracket as well as the flex hose and a new T piece, much quicker and easier. thanks mate. ill be having a mate help with the brakes so he can have all the problems. this is the set i was looking at, is this the full lot and is it ok withe the servo? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/321128907055?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT thanks. lee does anyone know what the oil seal is called thats in here please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B391 Posted November 15, 2015 Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 I used an Automec as well, very good. You might want to cosider replacing the flex hoses and getting a new T piece. I called them to make sure i identified the right kit and parts, they were very helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul223 Posted November 15, 2015 Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 That's the diff pinion oil seal Brakes... Look at the master cylinder, single line system has just one pipe coming out of the master cylinder, split system will have 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuji Shooter Posted November 15, 2015 Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 How much was your rad panel as I need one. Mine is not too rotten but may as well stick a new one on before it gets painted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much was your rad panel as I need one. Mine is not too rotten but may as well stick a new one on before it gets painted. it was £170 but it has a radiator with it,so i can see the radiator and my old radiator panel and recoup a few quid. there is another on on ebay but its buy it now and £250, there is also one on that has been fixed and looks good, start price of £50 but i recon it will do at least £100, ill send you a link to it if you like.

unico1 Posted November 15, 2015 Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 Being a Landrover enthusiast myself and I dare say a few following this thread, which I add is very interesting having restored a couple myself, I thought I would share something that may interest some. I now own a defender td5 and with prices increasing on defenders generally I sometimes flick through flea bay to see what they are fetching. Prices are ranging anything between 5 to 10k so when I see nice looking truck for classified price of 3k I investigate to read description, turns out there are quite a few on there, I noticed 4 for sale all with similar written description, I smell a rat myself. Any one else noticed it? Just seems to good to be true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BACKLASH........is the movement between the pinion gear and the crown gear on the diff and is altered or adjusted by the addition or removal of shims against the bearings.........if the "backlash" is correct it will lessen the whip in the transmission train and also get rid of the landrover "death knock"....that horrible "clunck" as you engage gears tooo much backlash and you get the death knock......too little and it will wear the gears and put wear or stress on the drive train...........its an easy operation to check and adjust.........

viking Posted November 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 he did mention something about whip the other day when i asked how to take it apart and clean, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ditchman Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 i think the adjustment is on the pinion gear...(the small one)......the closer it meshes with the crown ..the less back lash...and this is done with the shims.... should show it in the Haynes book....and how to adjust and to what tolerance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viking Posted November 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 That one on eBay I told you about finished earlier for £137. I knew that would go over £100. Iv seen some poor ones sell for between £40-£70. Decent ones for £80-£137. I'd put mine in the region of £80-£100 as it will be spot on when I'm done with it. Only eBay will know it's true value.

viking Posted November 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 Is it possible to have my panels shot blasted. Iv been told yes and then no as there to thin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuji Shooter Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 Yes I was going to bid on the ebay one yesterday then I thought for £250 I can buy a new galvanised one when I get around to finally cracking on with mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
