Hi all, might be a stupid question, but as a newbie to diesel series Landy's, How do you stop the engine if there's a problem with stop cable ( if snapped or come loose ), is it as simple as put something over air intake to starve engine ?
Think this will be useful for other newbies.

Thanks
 
Yep, thanks, the dash where the stop cable fits has been cracked/broken & bodged by previous owners.
Good to know there's a few options if it goes, will get replacement in time, but getting it on the road cost more than I'd budgeted. .
 
The ignition barrel with the cable ‘holder’ is no longer made. Hope it’s not this that’s caput. I had a horrible time butchering one together after the scrotes smashed my barrel to nick the thing.

That supplier in Cyprus that has all the MOD gear was charging £800 for one 😳
 
Yep, that bits fine thankfully, it's where it tightens into the plastic, previous owner's over tightened everything in dash & plastic has cracked everywhere, had to use 2 molegrips to undo most, ( back bit involved a lot swearing, shouting, & bloodied knuckles :p )

£800 :eek::eek::eek::eek:
