    I would have to ask how would the inspector know? Or have you already told him? I cant see how a standard S3 would break a prop and have bits flying around, it would have to be a very badly neglected UJ to let go shirley? But at the end of the...

    Also never had or heard of a series prop coming apart, even when a UJ fails they keep working safely [ making a din to let you know there is an issue to sort.]

    Had to adjust just about every single item. Never, ever fit anything tight. Roof, side frames, tubs, wings bulkheads etc before checking everything lines up. We live and learn 🤔🙄

    After a LOT of faff yesterday, I managed to syphon out 60L of contaminated diesel. I've put 500ml of low ash 2 stroke in the tank and I'm going to fill her up today and keep filling her up every time I've used a 1/4 of a tank or less. Thanks...

    The part the bulb holder slides into is not replaceable as it’s part of the instrument. I repaired mine recently with the tube of a felt pen and glued it in. I then used heat proof tape round the bulb holder so it was a nice fit. I’ve got LED...

    Think the pump deuse fuel system only runs at 4 bar on the td5, high pressures are actually generated at the injector itself. Being a tightwad I would chuck a litre or two of oil the the tank and run it. I had a td5 years ago and I ran it on all...

    Running on two? Noise/blowing out of the air filter points to valve gear issue of some sort, or head gasket blown between two cylinders.

    You can paint if you like. I like to use Bilthamber products, you need to use a rust converter before you coat it in anything. Also it's not a one off job especially if you go green laning. In an ideal world you need to keep on top of it every...

    So many questions on here about LED lights not working with Landys. I will say if you know your electrics then give it a go. If electrics not your thing then pass. Often not a case of just swapping over units. Oh and hello to the forum.

    Are you driving with the 4WD LT230 diff lock on ? The clutch release bearings are normally pretty reliable and only melt/screw up if you are driving around with your foot on the clutch all the time. is the clutch an LOF by any chance ?

    Problems with expander can be, incorrect re assembly, or one of the little pistons [bottom] drops out unnoticed when replacing shoes, or it is just worn out.

    Last year the original stat in my 200 gave up. I had two OEM replacements, one did not work at all and the other packed up after a month [stuck open] Found a new old stock original "Waxstat" been fine since.

    That was pretty much the system that was used 40 years ago. However nearly all air brake systems today use compression rather than the vacuum of old.
