Err! "cough cough" of course :o :o :o :o :o I have only had a tool kit for 2 days "thats my best excuse"

Before i purchase any parts for my speedo is it more likely to be the cable thats gone or the gauge? Or is there a way to test the gauge?

Seriously Guys, The L reg ones have like a conickle do da that you adjust but this has f all looks like all the adjustment has to be done on the cable. Anyhoo iz back together nn workin thats what matters. The actuator was sticking in so i greased the little Mongrel.

:D YIPEE! ITS OFF First i hit the acuator! Then I hit My Finger Then I hit The Hub Then I hit My Finger Then I had A Bottle Of Beer Then I hit the hub Then It Moved Then I got a CrowBar Then it Came Off Along with some knuckles... Thing is the shoes are still out so im not...

My handbrake is stuck on my 90 i have taken off the prop shaft but cant get the drum off for it to release have taken out the 2 countersunk bolts that hold it on but i cant wobble it off or prise it off,,any ideas? Do I need a special tool?

To be honest i think i have chosen 1 already,, Thanks for the heads up though.

As title really, as you may have read when i get my landy first thing will be some gaskets, filters and oil change but then it struck me that maybe you guys can recommend a good oil to use? also do you think it would be wise to use an additive to clean out fuel lines? I was gonna get the gaskets...

To be honest and for no particular explainable reason it is quite important for me to buy a landy that will need another engine, or at least that will benefit from a newer engine, after all it is a project i want and i am expecting to spend a fair bit, over time that is. I would start with the...

The landys i have been looking at in my price range for a project and a fishing/general abuse. They are all around 130,000 miles and B/C registration so thats "85" i want a 90 and to be honest think i will buy the one i have looked at last weekend it is a diesel the original engine it runs well...

Ill probably get crucified for saying such a thing but i only really want one to have as a Project for saturday afternoons and a Fishing vehicle.. The Mrs throws a wobbler when i get the Mazda seats covered in Mud & Maggots Or worse still sunk to the axles in a muddy orchard especially as its new:D

I was looking at a landy for sale and the chap who owns it says that because of the 2.5" lift kit it puts extra strain on the prop shaft and i would have to replace one more regular than i would have without the lift. Firstly i guess i can understand the extra tension caused but what do you guys...

Hello all, I don't yet own a landy :o but the plan is to buy an old Defender around "1983 - 1985" and a workshop manual then get to work on it.. I have never worked on a landy before but i have done basic mechanics on a lot of Farm machines and the like. I know i can get all the parts cheap...
