Thank you for pointing out about the tie rod end differences between series 2 & 3, could save a life one day.
It's been just a couple of days over 5 years since I bought DeeDee and I've decided to sell it and posted up a For Sale thread in the appropriate section. It's been a great first Land Rover experience. I now own 2 Series 1's (1950 80" and 1956 86"), a 101FC and a 2012 Puma Defender (my first ever brand new car). DeeDee's sale will allow me some budget to put into the '56 S1, which I will sell next, and then move onto the 101 and the 80".
See the ad here:
Several of us point this out every time there is an appropriate thread. Two points to note - change was not right on the 2a/3 change, and the tie rods and drag links are interchangeable, so either type could be on any S2/2a/3 either with or without matching ends and tubes. And the mismatched ends could also be fitted to S1s.Quote:
