I am after the gear and cover for the transfer box that get taken off when you put an overdrive on. I am taking my overdrive off so need the parts that I imagine a lot of people have sitting in their shed.

When I got my landy the overdrive screamed like a banshee when it was engaged. When not engaged it was totally quiet. To get out of it you had to double clutch. Eventually, it broke completely and wouldn't engage at all but it still worked fine when not in use. Today, I decided to see if I...

Can someone tell me what the difference is between these two? Landy failed on emissions (among many other things). I've stuck some redex in the tank and given it a good run in low gears (on private land of course) so hopefully that will clean it up a bit. I have been reading for a while...

Got the outer races out with a cold chisel and have left these marks where the races sit. It's on both front hubs but this is the worst bit. If I get the new races pressed in properly would they push these bits back down? I'm worried they wouldn't and would just not sit properly.

I decided to finally fix my front diff today. THere was loads of up and down movement on the input bearing. 4 wheel drive was not really possible. The pinion bearing is totally knackered. The pinion gear and the big ring are both missing quite a few teeth. Also these bits of metal were lying...

1972 2a. I know it was originally a 2.6 but now has 200di fitted. Gearbox is from a series 3 I believe (unless the last of the 2a's had full synchro?) Rear prop has a bit of play in it so could do with replacement but there are two types available. 591279 is 4 cylinder 591283 is the 6...

Series 2a. Was driving along the motorway the other day and my driver side wiper went AWOL! Was chucking it down too. I pulled over and tried to bodge the passenger side wiper onto the drivers side but it didn't work too well. This is what the spindles look like now. The driver side is flat...

The speedo in my 2a 109 wasn't working. I found that the inner cable had snapped part way down so it needs replaced. Here are some pictures of each end, as you can (hopefully) see the ends are square. It is a series 3 gearbox I believe but looking at parts it seems that neither 2a's or...

Not bothered about bodywork but would like a chassis/bulkhead that won't need too much work. The plan is to create a sleeping platform in the back and head to Europe and beyond next summer. Would prefer diesel for economy. I don't mind it being slow and drive like a granny anyway.

My series 3 88" came with cushions for your arse but they are not attached down in any way. There is no kind of back rest or anything. Think that's alright? Don't know if they're original as I haven't seen them anywhere else but they fit perfectly. Here is a picture, not the best but hopefully...

The noise is worst on overrun. It is there at idle but stops if I push the clutch in, starts back up as soon as clutch is released. I remember it being a bit noisy when I first bought it a year ago and I'm not sure if it has got worse or if I'm being more paranoid about it. It's not...

I've just spent a couple of hours wiring towing electrics onto my series 3. Didn't have the original wiring so I had to do it myself, solder and heatshrink. BUT, the plug end seems very open to getting water/dirt in it. The side where the wires all screw in is forward facing and looks like it...

2 1/4 petrol with emission control stuff if that makes a difference. Was working perfectly two days ago but tried to go for a drive this morning and can only touch the accelerator a tiny bit before the engine dies. The only way to get it much above idle is to use the choke. Used...

Well I'm not sure if it counts as a breakdown but it caused a lot of faff anyway... My landy failed an MOT last week so I had it in a garage today getting some welding done. Cycled to the garage to get it back and was driving home when it just started kangaroo hopping. Fuel gauge was telling...

Here is a pic of mine. You can see there is one light in the middle of the roof and another just left of the gearstick knob. The one on the roof has a switch on it but doesn't work. The one at the front has no switch so I'm not sure how it's even supposed to turn on... If neither are...

Series failed its MOT yesterday. The only thing I can't do myself is weld and there are three areas that need it done. I've sent pictures off to some e-mails that I found using google but they probably won't get back to me till Monday. I e-mailed a guy off Gumtree and he replied really quickly...

I opened up the distributor today to check my points and had a very strange problem! When the points are at a lobe in the cam shaft (i.e should be open) they are not. When not at a lobe, the points don't even touch the camshaft! It's like the springy bit isn't working properly as it never moves...

I noticed it yesterday. It's on the left side of the engine, bolted onto the chassis. It's a small cylinder with a wire coming out, which isn't attached to anything. I know the pic isn't great but it's in a hard to see place, this is looking upwards from lying underneath...

Can you just pour it down the drain? My local council tip has a thing that I pour my old oil into (think it gets recycled) but I don't think they have anything for coolant.

I can't get that big rubber washer to stay inside the 'housing' so that I can screw the filter back on. I've tried pushing it in but it just doesn't stay there. I've been trying for ages now, it's driving me crazy! Is there some trick I'm missing or do I just have to shove it in harder...
