Is it worth it?????????
Vikki:
ok i will have to try and find out some prices of parts etc - had a look on ebay for the swivel things but couldn't find any.
is it really worth all the hassle? how long do you think it would take to do all the stuff ive mentioned? getting a bit downhearted by it all now!

That depends on what you want. Any particular reason why you intend on selling it?
This was mine nearly two years ago now...
As you can see there is a hub on the floor towards the bottom of the photograph. That chrome "ball" is the swivel, with the halfshaft on one end and the brake hub on the other end.
Vikki:
several reasons - it only does 45mph, we have too many cars at home now and i need to fund a trip to new zealand in the summer! its just really stressfull trying to sort it when i don't really know much about land rovers.
Rich_P:
Are you sure it only does 45mph and it isn't the speedo at fault?
When was the last time it had the points and ignition set up? What carb is it? There are many things that can cause these engines (or any engine!) to run poor and give out poor performance and cause possible damage to the engine (such as running lean for too long).
Or is it a case of being afraid to bring the rpms any higher? :P As they do get very noisey when they're above 1,500rpm. :P

Fix it up, it'd be a shame to break the old girl for that small list of bits. If the swivels are shot it might be cheaper to pick up a 2nd hand axle and swap the whole lot accross. Come and have a weekend in teh peak district and the boys from OLLR will probably be able to sort it all oout for you.
