As you fit the spiders just make sure you move them once the cups are on.i hate a loose needle bearing

Simple thing first, check that clutch is fully disengaging.

That’s a shame was hoping it might have worn in by now Might be worth having a look through these https://www.landyzone.co.uk/search/2332359/?q=Crunching+gears&t=post&c%5Bchild_nodes%5D=1&c%5Bnodes%5D%5B0%5D=6&o=relevance Also seen in another...

you will find that when you strip it the chassis will collapse in the centre so be careful how you support it my series 1 chassis ended up in the pile shown and the rest in the vacuum cleaner

According to RAVE the 1995 Classic has two circuits for the front calipers. The correct bleed sequence is complex (like the P38), but not all of it can be done with pressure bleed kit.

My RRc knowledge only goes up to the 1992MY but I believe that all 1990s classic models had the same ABS system so with your abs system you will find additional bleed screws at the accumulator and and the hydraulic booster, both next to the abs...

Have you checked with pipe disconnected to upper calipers that fluid comes out when you pump peddle , if no fluid then that would be same as Corsa with seized abs unit if yours has one Do they have a supply and bleed nipple for each piston in...

Not a clue with your model but on daughters Corsa a few years ago front brakes not working on one side at MOT time , mechanic was trying to bleed but no joy turned out it was the abs unit in engine compartment had seized a bit , I assume it’s...

Check the wheel cylinders on right have not seized up or leaking, shoes not oily, if you clean them up with bit sandpaper you can put some chalk marks every inch or so and test then see if shoes making contact across whole width if not there...

11” twin leading shoes same as mine I think

If good and patient with changes it can keep going some time, you look to have the remains of all 3 springs I think. Syncro hub is an early design from the 30's, works well enough but springs are a weak point. The second gear jumping out [ on...

There are some who say they have replaced springs through the top of the box. I did one once, not easy. Given the other issues and you are managing without I say no. To be back in full working order time for a box out overhaul.

OK, Should you be interested in what goes on in a series 3 gearbox @steamwally has some good you tube videos.

Look like the remains of 3/4 syncro detent springs, trouble with gear change ? Can not see any shiny steel gear teeth which is good.

Is there a good blast out from blower, have you tried reverse flushing the heater rad , I have a foam mat infront of rad during winter as my engine runs cool, it warms it up a bit.

I can’t see a circlip in the workshop manual nor in this video On my two old slave cylinder housings cant see any groove inside either so I would guess you don’t need it or if you can see where it goes a similar one that does same job would...

Welding cars stuff that, my mate is a nuclear welder/fabrication manager basic pay is just under 70k + overtime & shift allowance ect. He started when he was 23 as a welder & walked in at 30k starting pay, now he's on rock star wages & he's 33...

I would suggest that you keep your current starter motor and look to have it reconditioned as I had starter motor issues and 2 new starter motors failed in short order, apparently this is a well known problem. I still had my old starter (original...

I'm thinking a tank removal happened at some point and it was a plug. But would have been fairly hard to miss when it went back together. That said it was screwed in a long way.

The question is what devilry was the PO trying to cure when he stuck the screw there in the 1st place? Now it’s gone, 3 months down the road you’ll no doubt figure out what the bodge was trying to sort - just after you’ve forgotten you removed it...

When I did mine when I had diesel knock when you slackened the faulty one it still ran whereas on the good ones. It stalled. I also disconnected suspect injector swung the pipe round so you could see spray pattern and it was more like a single...

I will get a video from inside the bonnet later. when I slackened off the injectors it wouldn't stay running, and would stall.

It would be better if the vid was under bonnet , what happened when you slacked off each injector nut in turn when it’s running

https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/land-rover-series-3-knock.392128/ Did you check the heater plugs and test by slacking off injector nuts

@dag019 might have a few tips, Brake cleaner good but a fiver a tin and great for finishing off , if oil mixed with sand or hard crud then it won’t touch it then it’s scraping thick off with screwdriver , for that occasion I’ve used wire brush...

Yeah. I understand that a leaking fuel Pipe is a fail. But it was Ever so slight Enough for me not to spot it. And I had recently changed the fuel Lines Not many friendly garages around these days. I have used the same workshop...
