F70 or f78

Forum: 

Hi all iv got a fourtrak Indy and I find it's not all that off road as it keeps bottoming out on the crossmember that holds the torsion bars and that's after adjustment of them so iv been thinking of getting a earlier model a SWB F70 as it's got more ground clearance so I would like to ask your thoughts on the pros and cons

Many thanks for any comments

Wanted Rear engine mount for 1999 Sirion+ Automatic 1.0

Forum: 

Does anyone know of a scrap 1999 Sirion+ 1.0 Automatic laying anywhere where I may have the possibility of buying the REAR ENGINE MOUNTING. Or does anyone know somebody about to scrap such model who hasn't yet done so?
I'm having great difficulty sourcing this part.

Forum: 

the roughneck has returned to the flock. I have recently brought a J plate sporty with genuine 57000 miles on the clock. She has only had two owners and has been neglected rather than abused. It looks like been serviced? once a year at about MOT time. Several notifications on certificate. Nothing serious but annoying that any one can treat an old lady that way,or am I just a sentimental old idiot? The work now starts to put it about where it ought to be.If I get half as much fun/enjoyment with this one as I had with my previous two it will be more than worth the effort.

Mystery Engine

Forum: 

Hi new to the site. I am converting my land rover to diesel and have a 2.8td daihatsu engine ready to drop in. Before fitting i want to change the cam belt and clutch but am having real problems identifying the engine i have. it came out of another landy and where it came from before that i have no idea. The only id i can find on the main block is DL 46 with 3346 stamped below it. Can anyone help identify this for me?

Engine oil leak, expensive repair?

Forum: 

Hi. My N reg Forester 2.8 TDX with 160K on the clock is leaking black oil at the back of the engine, where it joins th bell housing. I suspect the rear engine oil seal has gone. Is this a big job, expensive? Do other owners have any ideas on approx cost? Is it worth doing? The vehicle is a second car, only used for occasional farm work but in good order and has an MOT till July.
