Hello All,
I spend a fair bit of last night looking through some threads about Nissan Cabstar gearbox conversions. I saw a photograph posted up by Navigation 2000 which showed a symbol and a part number that suggested it was a Nissan Cabstar gearbox. The number was 71129. I found the same symbol in the same place on my gearbox :). Then I found the number 60212 :mad:
Not being daunted I thought I would take off the clutch slave cylinder in the attempt to find some sort of identifying mark. That way I could walk into the respective dealer and place the slave cylinder down and go, "I would like a new one of these please".
I took the clutch slave cylinder off and all I found was something I did not expect on a Japanese manufactured part for a Nissan. It had a raised cast of 7/8. What is an Imperial measurement doing on a Japanese Metric part I thought to myself?
The 7/8 mark got me thinking - what manufacturer uses Imperial measurement? I have a clutch slave cylinder that I will be shortly be fitting onto Baldrick my Series 3 Land Rover 2.25 litre diesel. I took it out of its new box and placed it next to the clutch slave cylinder I had just taken off the one joined to the Nissan SD33 diesel. Well bugger me!
Now I just wonder if that means that the clutch and pressure plate are Land Rover parts too????
Kind Regards
Lionel
