Hats off to Oldseadog!!

Massive thanks to Herb for doing his magic on my engine - I can now hit 70 easily! Makes the 2.5na a keeper for sure! Made me a very happy new Landy custodian!

Have to say though - diesel pump adjustment just looks like black magic to me ;-)

Just to echo this he patiently talked me through it on the phone twice and gave me advice via pm. Made a massive difference to my 2.5na, smoother pickup, better top end speed and i can stay a whole gear higher for most situations now. Proper decent chap.

My kettle will always have a brew for you should you find yourself down my way.

I still have a bit more fine tuning but due to breaking my leg it's laid up in the garage till I can get back out there (will be next year lol)

What kind of mpg do you get out of a 2.5 n/a? The only think I'd like from my series is half decent fuel economy so thinking of getting an ex mod with one of these engines.

I get around 26-28mpg sometimes a bit less if loaded up. I tend to pootle around the country lanes at 60mph though so not the best conditions for max economy. Mine is a 90

I reckon a 2.5na in a swb series would be great

Awww thanks folks.

I'm embarrassed now!

I just love those engines.

:clap2:
so whats the story? :boink:

Engine was a flat as a fart and had a bit too much diesel knock (although I thought the thing was about to self destruct - chalk that down to experience!!)

Pulls like a train now, and diesel knock has halfed at least

I still think that it could still do with the pump advancing a couple of degrees or so, but that's for another day.

One of the problems is that all the adjustments and stops have been clagged up with paint, and I didn't want to break anything!

My biggest problem is that now my wife has seen Ben's Landy, she wants another!

Got to admit that he has one of the cleanest Landies I have seen in a long time, with the chassis just about as perfect as they come!

After looking at all of the flaky paint coating each and every screw thread, I think my winter jobs may have to be to clean some off! If all else fails, I might just start systematic replacement of the extra painted bits

I am willing to wager a parking ticket envelope (whoops ... council duly complained to this morning!!) that your road will be graced with another Landy soon enough ;-)

Sorry about the parking ticket!

I am sure that we can find a witness to say that your Landy had to be repaired before it was moved!

We now know where not to park outside the house!

Dont worry about it, wasnt your fault!! I blame the esablishment!!!

I already have a friendly VAT registered garage who has emailed me over the price that I had to pay for recovery and repairs ;-)
