Thanks for that Lynall. I spent quite some time searching before I sent my post and I would have to say I could not find any nuts similar for sale, even among British speciality suppliers.. Do you think that I would be able to undo the sinch nut like a normal nut, or would it damage the...

Hello folks Guido here from Downunder. I have a question or two about the large pivot bolt on the bulkhead which acts as a hinge for the windscreen. I have one original bolt and nut on the passenger side of the bulkhead pivot but am missing the bolt, nut and washers on the driver's side...

Hi Steve Thanks for sending those references to me regarding my temperature sender for my Series 3 engine. I did some research and it looks like I can purchase the adapter bush which which screws into the engine head (part ERC 9432 and a suitable copper washer) and then get a temperature sender...

Thanks Bobsticle. I think I will go with an electric sender unit from the engine head when I replace the old sender unit. Guido

Thanks Steve2286w. Very much appreciated for the diagram and the direction you have sent me. Confirms the temperature sender was electric, as was probably the missing gauge from the bracket on my dash. Looks like I will have to get at least the threaded bush that screws into the engine head and...

I forgot to attach photos of the sender unit. As there are no temperature warnings on my 2A dash or instruments, presumably the remains of the other 52mm bracket would have housed a temperature gauge at some point. Thanks again and sorry for the grammatical and spelling errors. It has been a...

Hello all Guidoma from downunder with a question on the coolant temperature sender for a Series 3 2.25 litre diesel. My 1964 Series 2A 109 landy had a Series 3 2.25 diesel installed at some time during its previous life. Anyway I thought the engine coolant sender was a capillary type, but when...

Thanks for that mystery. I will make some inquiries at one of our Jaycar electronic stores tomorrow. I am sure they will have what I need. Guido.a

Hi mystery. I will follow your advice regarding placing a resister on the charge light circuit. By chance I came upon a you tube clip last night where a bloke was having problems with his series 2a battery going flat. He found the charge bulb had blown so the alternator wasn't getting a signal...

Hi steve and mystery. What an excellent idea. I honestly didn't think of a circular label plate, there may just be enough room to fit one, then I can put the charge light back where it belongs. It is the original 2A series red dash warning light with its incandescent bulb and bulb holder, so if...

Hi folks Guidoma here from Australia again. Regarding my Series 2A LR, someone has drilled an oversize hole where the alternator/charge warning light is normally positioned on the dash panel and the hole was plugged up with a rubber grommet. The hole is about 25mm diameter, and the red charge...

Thank you for that Lynall. I shall have a good look at the switch and either replace it or relocate it when I do up the Old Girl. Guidoma

Okey Dokey Thanks

Beauty tottot Thanks for that. When I get the steel headlight bowl out from the front wing l I will check to ensure it will fit the grill light recess. It should do. If it does, I will also get replacement bowls for the grill lights also. In regards to the dip switch, if I understood you...

Hello chaps Unfortunately due to illness this week I couldn't do too much on the old girl. I did remove one headlight though but couldn't get the steel bowl out as the bolts holding it in are rusted solid. Unfortunately it looks like I will have to get behind the fender with a dremel tool and...
