Fan Belt: Can you find one at Autozone?

Just a friendly tip...

NC Rover, the heater pic in your sig line sure looks like its itchin' for an electrical short. Those wires dont stand much of a chance against sheet metal when routed at that angle. A rubber grommet would help out.

Thanks jeff! Yeah another item to add to the list of things to do. I'm hoping to buy a whole new motor so once I install that, I will definitly have some type of rubber bushing to prevent the wear and tear.

That speedometer is not correct for any Land Rover product.



Probably started out life in a...TR6? Correct only by brand and gauge diameter.

As far as the gauges, I've seen other rovers with the same gauges in them. The gauges actually say "land rover" on the face plates so I don't see how that they could not be a land rover product.

The Fuel Temp guage is definately Land Rover. I've never seen a series truck with a speedo that went up to 110 mph though. That speedo is very similar to the one in my old '73 TR6. I will second that mfreeman, on the speedometer.. although I can't swear to it.

Hmm...anyone have any pics of a TR6 speedo? I keep finding so many hybrid parts in the vehicle that I can't figure out how to ask questions about certain items. Thanks for the info. The speedo doesn't work so I have no clue how fast i'm going anyway. I do keep up with traffic on the highway (65mph) no problem. The odometer works fine. Speedo needle just goes crazy though when I drive.

Any suggestions on getting a speedo needle fixed/refurbished? Complicated process or could it be something simple?

Or maybe his truck was assembled by the really *REALLY* optimistic guy in Solihull.

I did a search but couldn't come up with an exact match. Does your dash have the tripometer reset knob there somewhere? I looked at your pic pretty close but never found what I suspected to be the reset.. You're best bet will probably be to get the correct speedometer. Not just for the sake of being "correct" but at this point without really knowing where the guage came from and what size wheels were on the original vehicle you may never get it to work with any reliability. Not to mention the spedometer drive off the transmission is different too in some cases. I guess since the odometer is turning you could check it to some degree on the highway with the mile makers. I don't suspect a refurbished guage would be too much more than a refurbishment. They also may take the one you have as a core. Good Luck!
