Are those PUMA seats on older frames? I thought all the later seats had a single fastener at each end of the rail.

I don't think Longfields were made by RCV. The person I dealt with in 2014 was named Dean.

I'm sure many of you that have read the UK LR mags remember Frank. He even attended the Mid Atlantic Rally at Pearl's Pond back in it's heyday. He's retired from the publishing world now, but still plays with Land Rovers and writes about his experiences. Always an entertaining read, that manages...

I would try to get in there with a dremel and some small wire brushes, screwdriver, scraper, etc and clean that up REAL good. All that scale will keep rusting underneath whatever you coat it in. If you can get the nozzle of a sandblaster down in there that wouldn't hurt either. The metal etch...

Original gaskets are abut 3/8" thick and closed cell foam with smooth sides and edges. New seals are about 3/16 or 1/4" thick, not as wide, and appear to be open cell. You shouldn't need to remove the dash to do that repair.

Yeah, well, I've never seen an original SII bakelite horn button or a Smiths 2-speed wiper motor available on JC Whitney... :) Yes the downloadable catalog is key. Should print out a copy and keep it in the WC

Anyone looking to make up plumbing, trying to fill in the blanks where the old parts are NLA, or adding electrics or really just about anything imaginable. Download the 400+ page catalog and prepare to waste several hours browsing through all the fuse boxes, relay packs, plumbing and brake...

I have thought about that. A new center would do it.

There's a Tdi being sold in NC. https://www.defendersource.com/forum/f8/fs-1995-d1-5-speed-300tdi-154610.html

Need one ANR1534 steel wheel One of mine is not in the best shape anymore. Ugh.

Anyone going that way that can take a single 7.50 x 16 tire along for the ride? I bet it can even go as luggage if we put some cardboard on it and pay the extra bag charge.

SOLD Thanks for looking. Rover On

This is the first year that Range Rovers were sold in the USA. The car is in running and driving shape but does need some rust repair. However, nowhere near as bad as the typical ones for sale in the northeast US. I am told the engine is 3.9 and not the 3.5 that it would have come with. It has...

one thing that has not been mentioned here. The Robert Davis method puts the 12v pump before the sedimenter, as close to the tank as possible. If there are any air leaks in the system, the 12v pump will help you find them rather quickly as fuel will come spewing out. Especially if the engine is...
