ah! - but once its runnin - therel be no stoppin me






maybe coz the brakes are shot ?

does that mean brakes need looking at aswell then!!!!!!!!!

not that i know of - but i aint looked yet

Just to keep yu budding "I told yu sos" happy - Marcus and I found the prob wiv my engine today.
The Vacuum advance mechanism was broken - would nevva have seen it except I took the disty orf to swap it, and wondered why the vacuum advance wouldnt stay on the pin below the points..
New vacuum advance int available - and i dint have £75 and 10 days fur an exchange one ( from CAF/EAS) - so swapped it fur one orf a 2.25 disty (may not be the same, but its betta than a broke one). After a few confusing moments with the Haynes, telling us to set the timing incorrectly, hit the tit and Vroom. Not surprising it was a bugger to start, no power and using fuel like tomorrow - i reckon with the vac advance not connected, the advance could change by about 20degrees!
No luck with the rear axle tho - realised after refilling with oil (flushing) that it leaks at rear cover on diff casing. Further investigation showing "Bird crap" welding and a hole - this mite be cause of diff failing - no oil? - called in the TOSSERS help squad - but still not fixed - ****es petrol out (used as leak detect) .

I know I keep repeating it - but a big THANK YOU to those who are putting themselves out to assist with resurrecting the Dibnah.

Ah Bon ! mais le moteur 2.25 a un distributeur différent au moteur 2.5. J'ai un distributeur disponible d'un moteur 2.25, mais il semble fonctionner à l'heure actuelle.

Merci mon Ami

Oh yes it is...

I knew i shudna looked!!!!!!!!!

whilst sortin my rear axle, i noticed oil seeping out of the handbrake-propshaft holes!
Took the brakedrum orf tonite. Wished I hadnt - everything, and I mean everything, drum, shoes, backplate, the whole caboodle covered in oil. I can only assume this is weeping out of the rear of the transfer box. Is this an easy fix - or do i have to sit and look at it fur another month, ffs!

Likley it's the rear output shaft seal... never done one but there's an online walkthrough of one on a Rangie online somewhere - looks about as hard as changing a wheel bearing oil seal, which I've done plenty of.

You'll need to remove the guts of the handbrake and the backplate to get at the output shaft - always assuming the process is similar to the Rangie/Defender.

Doesn't mean you need to miss out on the laning day - just ignore it until afterwards and leave it in gear on hills

mite give it all a petrol wash to get rid of the crud tho. In my super new parts washer

Ta Adz

ffs if yer gonna tek it all apart yer might as well do the seal

do the bearin as well while yer there - slightest play and it will leak again shortly, even wiv a new seal.

sigh!

cant find the p/n's on Paddocks!
