Interesting - I would have to get a good look at at 2.1/4 head to check out initial possibilities. Then you would have to make a flow bench (as described in the book Practical Gas Flow by John Dalton) and use Playdough or BluTak to simulate port lumps and vary the shape for best results. You can tell the bloke never trained as a machinist, you should NEVER spot face with a end-mill as there is no way for chip escape - to be pedantic you use a...

Well done. Was it the shim on the primary pinion being on the wrong side of the bearing? That'd be a silly but easy mistake to make and would also cause the pinion and main shaft to be too tight together... Make sure the cups on the selector shafts are vertical and don't foul eachother when you tighten the pinch bolts on the forks - if they bind on each other you can easilt snap the gear lever off its pivot ball. It's worth...

Thanks for that, Ive just learned something useful. For my information on the 200tdi does the output from the turbo connect at the bottom inlet of the intercooler and then force air thro' the top output hose into the manifold ? David

My gearbox started making a quiet sqeuaking on and off while driving slowly today, combined with all the other noises/backlash I think my gearbox won't last much longer. Does anyone have a non-syncro late suffix series IIA box spare, or know anyone with one? Thanks

It assumes a general level of ability which sadly under estimates the patience, endurance...

Yes please do. Nick.

When I was taking the gearbox apart a few weeks ago right at the beginning, as I slid the gears off the mainshaft the 1st/2nd gear synchro fell apart - springs and balls shot out. I found it all and put it back together and forgot about it - more concerned about not knowing what anything was. Whilst reassembling a couple of days ago I wanted to check that the 1st/2nd synchro was working correctly so I compared it to the one on the suffix A...

I wish there was an easy/cheap source of 4.11 or 3.7's for Rover axles.

Try them at the handbook pressures, and adjust accordingly. I run at 5lb more..sometimes up to 35psi if loaded. (I'm running tubeless, 205/16)
