Great work, and a lovely car. Your attention to detail with everything is fantastic and the car is a real credit to you!
I just wish my daily (P6 3500s) was as clean and well presented - it's got a long way to go though!

Looks lovely and straight from the pictures - I've got a SWB Series 2 which I rarely see, i don't have space for it at my place, so it lives at my parents... Please carry on with the updates

That float and locking ring look the same as Landrover ones! As you say, parts shared a lot across the BL range at the time.
Lovely car, keep the updates coming.

I have helicoiled rover V8 manifolds before when the stud holes were shot and it's worked well.
Keep up the great work!

Have quick google for the later gen 2 EDIS coilpacks, they are not quite so chunky - i have them on my P6. EDIS is rock-solid reliable, I have it on both my MS powered cars.

Hi guys,
My brother is looking at buying a car that needs it's vinyl roof replacing. The car has been dry stored so from what I have been told the roof itself is still sound. The vinyl has lifted in one corner.
If he was to get the vinyl replaced professionally, does anyone know what kind of ballpark costs he would be looking at?
Cheers!

Look forward to more updates

Thanks - you are correct in that it has no oil at the mo, i dropped it the other week when I first dug it out from the garage.
Oil was fairly good looking but the drain plug was like a Christmas tree with very fine filings, and in the bottom of the bowl I drained it into I found what looked like the corner of a single gear-tooth...
You can physically feel the sound (if you know what I mean) through the case when reverse is engaged.

Hi guys,
Thought i'd post here as the LT77 is something that a lot of people are familiar with, due to it being fitted to pretty much every BL product for a while.
I have a Rover 3500s, and the original 4 speed has recently come to the end of its life, i thought i would take the opportunity to fit a 5 speed from an SD1. I've had this LT77 sat on the floor of the garage for a few years now, and when I bought it I thought I had checked all gears selected but obviously not...😡
Last night I setup the shifter mechanism properly, which meant that reverse is now easier to select. On turning the box I get a graunchy/rattling noise when in reverse, sounds almost like two gears contacting each other or something.
All other gears sound smooth and engage perfectly fine.
if i've done this right there should a link below to a (bad) video I took last night:
Any ideas on what it might be would be appreciated! My next step is to clear out the garage, build a workbench to get the thing on and have a look inside. Thats going to take a while though, so any suggestions people have would at least give me a path to go down when I get to that point.
Cheers

Love this car - shame about the turbo, but onwards and upwards eh?! Great burnout, reminded me of when you used to be able to watch roadkill without subscribing!

Loving the thread!
I'd definitely avoid open cell foam, my Landrover 90 had it fitted to the footwells and they were rather teabag like when I got it. The foam held quite a bit of water!
Brake master cylinder looks same as early defender too - part number NRC9529.
Clutch looks similar to the Defender item too...

Car looks amazing! Well done on the pass!
I had a head gasket failure last year on my P6, that manifested as a sound like a bird tweeting. It would show up at idle and go away under revs. It started off quiet on a Monday afternoon, and i initially thought it was a exhaust manifold leak, and planned to check it out at the weekend, but by wednesday it was loud enough to be embarassing!
When I investigated I could feel the leak between cylinders 6 and 8 with my hand, and the gasket was burned away. No idea why it happened, nothing had changed with the car, I hadnt adjusted the fuelling, no temp issues etc etc...
I hope that's not what you have, but its an easy fix if it is!
