I don’t want to take my cylinder out before finding one because sure as tootin’ if I do not only will I have trouble getting it back in but that could be the kiss of death, making any possible alternative unobtainium.

Does anyone have a picture of what the cylinder looks like to point me in the right direction? I don’t care OEM etc. However all I seem to find are cylinders with the two tabs surrounding the keys ie older Detroit style and I don’t think this will fit around my light selection switch.

Or better, a model number or suggestion?

I recently agreed to sell my ’66 Series 2a 88 to a good friend of mine. 12 years ago, this same friend met me on the other side of the country to inspect the truck prior to my purchase and made me promise that he would have the first chance to buy it if I ever decided to sell.

The only problem… I live in Florida, my friend lives in NW Pennsylvania.

My friend has a grand road trip adventure in mind; flying down to FL and driving with me in the Rover up to PA (roughly 1,400 - backroad miles). I’ve mapped out a route where we would take 5 days, driving between 5 & 6 hours a day averaging 45 - 55 mph, with sightseeing along the way.

The trip is, tentatively, scheduled for mid June (June 13th - 18th) and now my anxiety levels are starting to creep up.

I’ve done a lot of work to the truck in preparation for the sale - Replaced the carburetor, replaced rubber brake hoses with stainless braid…. replaced all of the wheel cylinders and front brake shoes… replaced both front hub & locking hub seals/bearings/races etc… bled, greased, topped up every fluid I could think of, and flushed the radiator… inspected shock bushings and replaced as needed. The tires & spare are approx. 10 year old (garage kept) XZL’s with good tread.

So I think the truck is as ready as it can be for the trip.

Still… I haven’t driven the rover much in the past few years, and, although I’ve never had a mechanical issue out on the road, I’ve also never driven the rover on any trip more than ~ 100 miles each way. So, to be honest, I’m a little worried.

It goes without saying… Our wives are totally against the idea.

We welcome any company along the way, whether classic rover or modern. Alternatively, if anyone was a member of the old Birmabright Brotherhood and might be willing to help out should problems arise, I'd welcome your offer.

I'll post a picture of the general route below...

Specifically, what is the difference between the mirror adapter, door hinge and the same ‘extruded’? Is that extruded l as in, plastic? Is it durable?

Should I change the throw out bearing? It does not appear to make any noise.
2. If yes, is this behind a small cover in the bell housing, and if this is removed, will it drain gear box hydraulic fluid?
3. The clutch cover appears to have a steel triangular shaped central hub that mates with a similar size disc on the input shaft. This would be metal/metal contact in operation. Should this be lubricated when assembling?
4. Unrelated, there are no reverse lights. Where is the reverse light switch located? I see no electrical connections on the gear box.
Any input would be appreciated...

There’s the problem in a nutshell. I’ll probably never use it but what is a Land Rover without a tire in front?

So I’d like to replace it with something narrower and lighter. Both the tire and the steel rim. All it has to do is work with the other three to get me someplace for a repair.

Any suggestions as to how to go about this will be appreciated.

Has anyone installed the LBZ EGR Delete kit from EGR Performance on a daily-driven Duramax? I’m researching the benefits and possible downsides before making a purchase. I’ve been reading reviews about improving airflow, lowering EGTs, and reducing soot buildup, and I’m considering getting an LBZ EGR Delete from EGR Performance for my truck soon.

Did you notice any gains in throttle response, fuel economy, or overall reliability after the installation?

I’d also like to know how difficult the install was and whether tuning adjustments were necessary afterward.

Any long-term issues, check engine lights, or towing performance improvements would be helpful to hear about.]]> yolikax https://forums.roversnorth.com/forum/land-rover-technical-forums/land-rover-series-i-ii-iia-iii/193643-lbz-egr-delete-from-egr-performance-%E2%80%93-worth-it-for-daily-driving-and-towing https://forums.roversnorth.com/forum/land-rover-technical-forums/land-rover-series-i-ii-iia-iii/193641-source-for-replacement-dumb-iron Sun, 17 May 2026 22:11:09 GMT IIA https://forums.roversnorth.com/forum/land-rover-technical-forums/land-rover-series-i-ii-iia-iii/193641-source-for-replacement-dumb-iron https://forums.roversnorth.com/forum/land-rover-technical-forums/land-rover-series-i-ii-iia-iii/193640-replace-wiper-unit-on-a-%E2%80%9859-series-ii Sun, 17 May 2026 21:51:11 GMT
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Also the blades look real good, provided it doesn’t do more that drizzle. Has anyone replaced theirs with something more robust? Is the issue fitting something else to the motor, or the strength of the motor?
