Hi everyone , over the coming winter I will be rebuilding my dodge T214 engine and will be fitting a new set of piston rings , I need the use of a piston ring file , I am wondering if anyone has one they're not using or where I might find one for sale in the uk ? Thanks Terry Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you for your help , it's given me something to ask Father Christmas for 😊 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Oh ok , it's only a 12v , it has wing boxes and a side aerial mount and the wiring from the box runs down the drivers side to somewhere behind the rear lights , is it possible it could have had any radio equipment fitted ? Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi , I have recently brought a 1994 defender 110 GS and I was looking behind the drivers seat and I found a mystery box and was wondering what it was for ? Hope someone can shed a bit of light on it , thank you , Terry Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi Ben , welcome , 1994 landrover 110 and 1944 dodge wc56 near Thame Terry Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi everyone , i have just brought an ex army defender 110 ! I have been looking on the web and see there is a club called the ex military land rover association and was wondering if its worth joining ? I am already a member of the MVT , so just looking for peoples opinion of EMLRA to see if its worth the cost of joining thanks terry

thankyou to both of you , i,ll follow the numbers in the manual and 55 ft lbs

Hp gordon the head is held down by unf nuts , so what torque would you recomend ? thanks , terry

Hi gordon thankyou for your advice , will check with my dad tommorow as he,ll know what type of thread the nuts are

Hi gordon , i only have nuts and studs , there are no bolts fitted , from the picture of the cylinder head tightening sequence shown on the vintage power wagons website 3, 6, 10, 11, 17, 19, 21, are supposed to be studs and nuts and the rest look to be bolts , this engine was re built in germany in the 1960,s so they must have been changed then , should i do the nuts up to the torque for bolts ?

Hi everyone , could anyone tell me the correct torque of the cylinder head nuts of the T214 230 cu inch engine ? , i have checked the manual and they list the cap screws at 65-70 foot pounds and the stud nuts at 52-57 foot pounds , what are stud nuts and what are cap screws ? thanks

Hi , nice truck , good luck with the restoration, was it running when you got it ?

The first time we,ve attended this show and all three of us are agreed it was well worth attending , we arrived on friday lunchtime after loosing netaken to arly all of the brakes on the journey down, we were then taken to a spot where we could set up camp by a marshal on a quad bike , which we thought was a better idea than just being told to camp over there somewhere , the weather during the days was better than we had expected snd there were lots of public walking around the site , we took our truck around the arena on all three days of the show and it was nice to be able to drive in and out of the dips instead of driving around a flat field , we also watched the mock battle and ageed that it was good to see a battle that did,nt end up in either side winning , i agree with the other posts that it was a shame that some exhibitors and stall holders went home early but hey poeple do have other commitments and short of putting a 105mm howitzer on the exit untill the show closes i don,t see what else the organisers could have done , although i did,nt meet anyone from on here at the show the people camped either side of us were friendly and the other exibitors we talked to were friendly , all in all a great show that we,d like to take our vehicle again next year , thankyou and well done to all the people involved in putting it together

Hi everyone , decided to get some NGK,s and they turned up today , will stick them in and see how it goes , have a set of nos champion J8,s on standby if things don,t work out , thanks for all your advice and i.ll let you know how i get on

Champion J8C,s seem to be available or RJ8C,s , i might try and get some J8C,s through my work and try them

Hi everyone , am thinking of replacing the spark plugs in our dodge and was wondering if anyone knew what plugs i can put in that are available , have looked and champion J8,s are in there but these are not available anymore ?

just spotted these pictures on ebay , ebay item number 230732661388 , what is it in the crate ?

I,d love one of the jet engines to annoy the neighbours with on sunday mornings :laugh:

Hi everyone , we looking forward to our first visit to the overlord show this year , have just filled in the entry form and will pop it in the post tommorow , have decided to give the overlord show a go this year as we,ve been going to the other show for the passed few years and the turn out is lower every year and the prices still go up , besides there are only so many times you can look around a motor museum , so we,ve decided its time for change , we are looking forward to a new show :-)

we have had the same symptoms with our wc56 , we changed the flexable fuel hoses in the engine bay and its never happened again , we found the fault by running a hose directly from the inlet on the fuel pump into the jerry can on the running board , if you try that and it still plays up you can rule out eveything but the pump , and you could put quality fuel in the can aswell

We popped to the show on saterday on our way to hull and am glad we did , saw some nice vehicles and there were quite a few more stalls there than i,d expected , we even had enough sunshine to enjoy one of the homemade ice creams from the van which kept the missus happy , we enjoyed the time we spent there , thnkyou

I will be going to the local scrapyard on saterday to have a look for a disovery spare wheel holder

Hi , i work for a landrover dealer and i,d advise D3 or rangerover , i know they have their problems but then again so does everything else ! the problem with a sport is the balljoints are always wearing out and the fluid anti-roll bar bushes wear out and makes the front suspension knocks , i,ve driven two toureg,s and they just did,nt feel as sturdy as a landrover and one of them has been back to us twice with auto box problems ! terry

err possibly , did think perhaps a defender rear door spare wheel mount bolted on the side somewhere ?
