A couple weeks ago I changed the oil in the rear differential. The fill plug was odd I thought, it did not look like something Land Rover would do, so I suspect a previous owner down the line. The plug can be threaded all the way in so it could potentially drop inside the differential. I...

I just snugged up a bolt under the steering relay unit that holds a bottom arm to it. Its the unit right behind the grill. (2A 109) Well that I think was the cause of whats called the death wobble I have been having. I had the front up on this morning on jacks and while I was pushing and pulling...

Does anyone know where to source slave brake cyclinders that are aluminium? I need to replace one on the front of my 109, and the iron replacement one seems to corroid really fast.

I have been having soot in the carb, with dieseling when shutting down. Carb is Zenith. Took it apart, lapped it again, changed the pin for the float (new) and readjusted the float for a nylon (31mm?) , cleaned the soot out. Adjusted the tappets. Did a compression test with cold engine with...

I have had a stud on my 2.25l petrol cylinder head stripped out. Its not the stud but the hole in the edit: cylinder head (not manifold) that is stripped. If i remember the (edit) cylinder head is somewhat chipped out at that stud hole, well it has a exhaust leak at that spot, I think it has...

I was driving with a lead foot in the dark, and hit a jump when the gravel turned to pavement. The front axle rammed into the pulley and took a piece of steel off the pulley. Luckily i didn't break the block or break the crankshaft. I have this new noise that I can not find for the life of me...

I snugged up the drum breaks in order to pass the yearly motor vehicle test. Forgot to loosen them up afterwards and now I have oil on both the rear rims. I think the rim and hub may have got super hot and damaged the seal. The most probable cause for the oil everywhere is the seal on the hub...

I am trying to figure out my fuel gauge. Took a reading with digital and analog meter at the fuel tank unit, readings jumps from around 5V to 10V almost twice a second. Could I have a wire crossed, or according to circuit diagram the wire from tank unit goes to fuel gauge and from fuel gauge is...

Is it normal for the 2.25L 7:1 petrol to hesitate after a cold start, no load? I would like not waiting for 5-10 minutes for the engine to warm up after driving, if I don't she will backfire under the slightest acceleration. I just adjusted tappets to .010", replaced all the spark plugs (NGK...

With all the trouble bleeding the brakes, I have been going by the book putting everything back the factory way. Here is something strange, if you google around for pictures of the front brakes, 109, leading, trailing shoe, etc you will find a ton of pictures with the back plate so the dual...

Been under with a angle grinder wire wheel, priming and painting only the steel, last 3 days. Notice the frame is rusting from the inside in a couple locations. Is there supposed to be drain holes at the low points? LWB I can't believe the amount of dirt under their even after a couple good...

I am trying to order a stainless exhaust system. My landy is a 2a 109" Station Wagon (rear fuel tank) with Suffix C chassis 2.25L petrol. I think that makes it 1966. Will part 517469 work? Some website say LWB ExMOD 2a others say SIII only. There is also part 517632, but not included in the...

Just got my rims back from paint shop and some new rubber put on. The old weights on the inside of the rims disappeared I noticed. Anyway the tire shop next door did not do any balancing, then when confronted the worker guy acted confused, and wants me to come back another time with my land...

I have the grinder out today. I am wondering if this looks like factory rear step or previous owner addition. I am having a hard time finding a picture on the Internet of a restored 109 with rear step. I want to slap on a cutting wheel, and get rid of it if its not original. 1966-67 109"...

Do you guys paint the wheel wells? I have have all the tires off (ordering new ones), all the way down to the axle and have been wire wheeling and red oxide / spray painting the parts- hubs,drums,back plate etc. Looking at the inside wheel well I figure its a good time to get the flakey stuff...

Hi, I have been slowly organizing, and labeling my spare parts for Series Land Rovers. If some of you forum members could help me to id the stuff in the photo's if they are Series parts or :mad:not Series. I am up to around 300 different items according to my spreadsheet. I might post a new...

Hello, I have to do something like a annual MOT for my 2.25L petrol this week, and have one issue that might show up depending on how hot it is the day of the inspection. (I am going to try and go early morning) The issue is the engine cuts out when it gets hot, if I rev up, or accelerate then...

Need advice on the starter motor. The starter on my 2.25L petrol can barely turn the motor. Here is what I have done so far- -Measured the voltage, and it was less then 6-7 V when engaged. -Measured the resistance of the wires and ground- fine -Swapped a battery with another vehicle, and same...

Like in the movie Uncle Buck my landy shoots a afterfire? out the tailpipe about 4-10 seconds after I kill the ignition. Also if I don't put it in gear and use the clutch to lock the engine she will diesel for about 30 seconds and possibly backfire out the carb. hehe A real head turning display...

Expert advice needed lol! Trying to fit a autosparks harness and lol not sure how the loom gets routed. No instructions came. The old loom was somewhat custom; fitted ok -a bit patched up from rodents, but I doubt it was correct. Anyways I have a good diagram and I know where 95% of the wires...
