Do you still have the old AC delco that you could rebuild,

I agree about the mileage, it's hardly anything when you consider that many of our cars are still on original units, my car (1969) which I've owned since 1981 I assume will be on the originals, the only repair they have had is the outer offside uj, nothing else. I don't know the full mileage but ...

I have copied and paste this from MSN which said it was from the Daily Telegraph. I don't think 2 and a bit out of 5 is a majority, and only 1000 respondants but is the Federation of Historic vehicles aware?

Thanks Forkie,
you are spot on about the effects of damp air and there's plenty of that where I live in Lancashire ! I covered the car with a large dust sheet and numerous sets of old curtains a few weeks ago when it was very cold but dry, whereas if I'd have waited for the warmer wetter days to ...

Thanks Clifford,

Thanks Mike,
You're quite correct, I've had 5/16 unc off Ebay and they're spot on, it's good to have the proper sizes, and as you say, the Land Rovers tend to be a mixture of fittings.
I wanted it correct as I'm off on a long continental journey soon, and i don't want any problems.
