    Odd H/L problem. Do i need a new gearbox?

    think i've found it, this landy seems to have a lot of 2a bits when i look for spares, it was manufactured 1970. registered 72. it was untouched when i got it. all original and rusty and full of farm hay, poo etc. paddockspares have the following at £12 +vat + p&p which looks like the right...

    Odd H/L problem. Do i need a new gearbox?

    Thanks for that. im printing it out to give to my buddy. hope this isnt a dumb questions, but does this mean i dont have to remove the diffs from the axle housings at all? just swap the whole lump over? Also. as luck should have it, my mate has a few disco's in bits and also a really old...

    Odd H/L problem. Do i need a new gearbox?

    I have an 88 landy (1972) and a mate has a discovery i can take parts from. I wanted to do this myself, but he says it would probably need verniers etc to set the diffs up after swapping. to be honest i haven't changed a diff before (or even seen one with the cover off) so im at the mercy of...

    Odd H/L problem. Do i need a new gearbox?

    just an afterthought in case any one has done this before. when changing a diff (from a disco to a lady), do i need to get a vernier caliper the disco diff before removing it so i can set it in the landy at the same measurement (assuming it needs setting.. something to do with a crushed...

    Odd H/L problem. Do i need a new gearbox?

    Thanks all. Yes, it is the driver side half shaft break has broken off at the diff end and it burred so the bit isnt coming out with magnets etc. I was going to swap the diffs with some from a Disco which i have at some point, so might as well have a go at it now now. ill look out for a half...

    Odd H/L problem. Do i need a new gearbox?

    Yes. ill do that. I have just got it on the flat, put it in h/r two wheel drive and applied the transmission break while it was ticking over. the rear drive shaft is going around without the wheels moving. this would suggest half shaft has been stripped or sheered, possibly the diff. What i...

    Odd H/L problem. Do i need a new gearbox?

    Hi & many thanks. tried the yellow nob just in case.. no difference. half shaft sounds preferable to gearbox. diffs... i was going to change these for Disco diffs any way, maybe i should do all at once? anyway.. I can get it up on a ramp in a local garage after hours, but he wont help...

    Odd H/L problem. Do i need a new gearbox?

    Hi. My 1972 Landy (43k on the clock) is acting strangely.. Ive lost Normal (2 wheel) High ratio. as if it's in neutral (even the handbrake (transmission brake) doesn't work while in Normal High ratio. I have all gears in 4 wheel drive High ratio and it drives as normal like this. i also have...

    How easy to change to disco diffs on this one?

    Hi All. Im the New guy. My wife got me a 1972 series 3 for Xmas and its great. goes like a rocket etc but needs a bit of tlc and a bit of an upgrade. it has Way to much power in top gear for there not to be a higher gear or two and revving the balls off it really seems a waste of gas and ear...
