I've seen this mysterious starting behaviour before. The Landy concerned had two bad segments on the the starter's commutator. This means a lottery when going for a fresh start, as it depends on where the motor stopped rotating the last time it...

Gearbox to engine nuts are 9/16". The top two are either 9/16" or 5/8".

You could try giving Shielder Chassis a call. They're in Armagh. They might be able to assist.

I reckon you will miss the SU's once you fit the strombergs. They're a great carburettor.

I'd also vote for SU's if you're below 200bhp approx. They give lovely progression especially when off road and throttle sensitivity is important. The Webers don't like steep inclines or declines as the float mechanisms can lead to flooding or...

I'm not sure if the Series 3 have them but my Series 2 has a threaded bolt in each pivot pin. From memory they are 1/4 UNF. I fitted two 90° grease nipples and give them a shot of EP140 gear oil from time to time. I use a small grease gun like...

Have a look at Robush.com

I've just finished putting an aftermarket bulkhead (Paddocks) onto an older aftermarket chassis (unknown) so all I had were original doors to assist in lining it all up. O/S needed 19mm of washers ahead of the outrigger and N/S needed only 5mm...

Are you sure your voltage stabiliser casing is earthed properly? No earth, no function.

You could fit a spacer between master and pedal box but I wouldn't bother. I would suggest removing the pushrod and getting a local machine shop to extend the thread. 5/16UNF is the thread size. How high is the brake pedal from the floor? I...

Double check the earth strap from block/gearbox to battery. Grab your jump leads and connect one from battery to the block. Try to start it again to note any improvements. If its still clunking from the solenoid hold the switch to "start" for...

I always fit NGK plugs and I've never had an issue. I'd recommend not to buy Champion plugs as their quality is terrible in my experience.

I'm almost certain that here is no MAP sensor on this system. The ECU uses a full range throttle potentiometer to determine a load signal. You will need to check for flash codes. The 14CUX ECU was a primitave unit so if you have an engine light...

It's not designed to be tight, otherwise the lever wouldn't move. It purpose is to stop the gear lever twisting in its ball pivot.

I have used sugar soap to soften paint in the past. Not sure if it's available anymore.

I've had dozens of various Land Rovers vehicles with V8's in them. For the love of God please don't waste your money on Champion plugs. The quality is terrible in my experience. I only fit NGK, or Denso. Get a set NGK BCP6ES for a road car or...
