Thread: My little Series 2

Couple of items ticked off today:

• New engine mounts fitted (still need to do the gearbox mounts)
• Fitted the rear brake line to the rear diff (and the brake line support bracket)
• Played with the carby (running better)
• Got in trouble for working on the land rover and not on the house.

Some parts arriving this week:

• Rear propshaft
• Shocks all round
• Rebuild kit for the rear diff (bearings and seals)
• Gaskets for the gearbox plate

Pack arrived

- New rear propshaft
- shocks all round
- rear wheel bearing kit x 2
- mirrors for the wings
- gearbox gaskets

Now to find time to work...

My parcel seems to have been delivered to the wrong address

Waiting for my shocks to arrive too from the UK... maybe these where mine!

Today I pulled the rear diff centre out to replace the gasket and missing nuts. Cleaning the old gasket off proved to be a crap job. Particularly with the diff in the car!!!

Loose fitted the rear propshaft, before being dragged away by the family

Planning to rebuild the rear wheel bearings and brakes next.

I like to use lots of sealing goo as well two of my diff housings have the wired bolt arrangement that yours have so it possibly continued into the 2a models

New bearing in progress! RHS done including new wheel cylinder.

LHS still to go!

Your missing a stud......... to bad it's not a press in as I have some spares
