Hi, I recently acquired a Rover Ranger xc 5244 model and am having issues with installing the final drive chain. I measured the existing rusted old chain and purchased a new one of exactly the same size to suit the xc model but it seems to be one link too short. I can't see anyway of adjusting the rear axle or gearbox. I couldn't find much in the way of info with this issue, so any help would be greatly appreciated, cheers!
