Hi everyone, (1st post) having spent a few years benefiting from the wealth of knowledge and time other people give to the forum, i think I can give a little something back for a change. Just spent >8 hours trying to remove the oil filter (yes I...

I’ve ordered the good type of pipe, one of those fancy flaring tools and a good bender as well as a few packs of fittings for fingers crossed, I can cobble something together. Thank you!

And as I found the first time I made a pipe, remember to slide on the unions before making the second flare 🤪

A lot of the brackets bolt onto the chassis so not really a modification Gutters on a landy do bend so just keep an eye on the fixing points

Great info thanks guys. I didn’t have my jack available so solved it by just rolling the 90 forward and back. Front prop was much easier than rear.

so you have checked fuse 15 passengers fuse box and checked that you have a feed from the ignition switch on this fuse white cable and a feed on the white/green from fuse

Perfect, you have hit the nail on the head, there wasn't a feed as the switch had worked loose. All fixed now. Thank you

When I e-mailed Allisport about the VGT turbo they said they were waiting on Stock which would be around 3 weeks, so I put myself down to be informed when they were available. Then Exmoor trim were doing the Defeater barrier mat system with...

Sorry, I’ve no idea, but tell your wife about the weight comments and I reckon you’ll save 80kgs 😁

Prop won’t move as both wheels on the ground stop this. Jack up 1 wheel on the axle your removing the prop from. You should be able to spin the prop round.

The above only works if you hold the clutch pedal down while doing it.

you can swap the hand of the alternator by simply undoing the three or four very long screws pulling them out rotating the ends of the alternator in relation to each other refitting the screws and tightening them up

Clutch has probally rusted to the flywheel. If the brakes work….start in a gear & sometime jamming the brakes on frees it up

New starter fitted. As expected, it didn’t go without issue as it is a landy! One of the turbo studs sheared, needing drilling and tapping. The mechanic said a few choice words, which I won’t repeat! And a couple of extra earths were added. But...

You would do well to also clean all the fuse holders and make sure the fuse ratings are correct.

By the looks of it nothing is going to work, (engine, gearbox, axles )and the only thing going for it is a galv chassis and a log book.

Flying visit… Happy Mother’s Day to my moms on this thread. Be good, be loved,be happy.

Link pipes on return from injectors ?

Hi. It’s a pick-up, a break down recovery truck. Fitted with a 2.6 6 cylinder petrol which looks original. But I’ve never heard reference of this engine being offered in the series 1. In 1957 the last series 1 had 88” and a 109” wheel bases...

Welcome… S1 always good,I try not to work on these as my hands are to big for the little gaps Is it a truck cab or 5door?? Always good to have photos

Got my injectors back. £281 for all four to be rebuilt with new nozzles and re shimmed to open at correct pressures. Done by a Bosch service centre. All fitted and started and idles lovely. Not driven it yet due to one tyre being half flat...

Went to go out this morning & Motobike failed to run… Get in the landrover & as normal starts up & runs like a dream. 30 miles down the motoway and cruises well. Sat on a course all day,then 30miles back home. Gaffer taped a few holes up in the...

Here is a picture of the wheel, a Bolt on bits special from eBay. Used them for a few bits and pieces. More elbow room.

Serviced the following today. Def TD5 Merc SL 350 Kia Sportage 21 liters of oil combined!

MOT Yesterday Passed! No advisories 😃😃

Thanks for that. Funnily enough I have just fitted the part you suggest. I had hoped to be able to warm it with a heat gun to shape it a bit better but its obviously pretty tough stuff and not willing to bend. I have managed to fit it but haven't...

Just pulled up to the shops on a hill and nearly ended up at the bottom 😂

Would a 110 LR fit? Tanks in the same place and neck to tank same size.unsure filler end (Disco I think are smaller diameter on the filler end & would be longer)

In my humblest of opinions I would dispense with the concourse plan and go for good useable. And use it !

That’s one corner complete and my gas empty. Need a top up!
