shurely a gearbox swap would be easier? just a case of unbolting things rather than changing fuel lines and electrics. :rolleyes:

Ah the arrival of a small child usually does bring everything to a complete halt for a few months!! what you need is a local landy doctor, unfortunately NHS ones are really hard to come by these days so it's likely you'll need to go private. Every area will have a landy expert who can...

sweet, i think the missus would love one like that!! so which one of you has bid on it then???

landy's will self-destruct if any of the following events occur: you purchase a landy. your given a landy as a gift from a "friend". you acquire a landy by any other means. no explosives required. the destructive force each landy produces as it "blows up" varies immensely, some will...

i re-attached a loose door card on me long (none)running series 3 petrol project, only got some more minor jobs like fitting the engine and i'll be good to go!! floor mats are the next job...... :D

that looks alright, not sure on the bumper and rock sliders though, they look far too areodynamic on a series!! :D so what is it? series 1 an a half??

where?? dunt say anything in the ad about the parts not in the photo's! or if its got a v5!

nice, mind you don't crash while staring at the oil pressure gauge! if you turn corners really fast does to oil pressure drop off much??? my oil pressure light would come on when pulling some sharp turns!! :D

you having lucking faugh! bargin!! you could get a whole one for that price!! :D

i'd go and buy a nice new battery, your old one may show 12-13V (mine does as well) but its got no juice to whirl the starter motor. After a good charge and kept warm its good to go. you'd probably be as well looking at the starter motor as well as brnocz says. I'm adding that to my list...

morning! my 68 series does exactly the same! i've cleaned all the contacts, replaced the starter solenoid (it died half way through the repair work) and charged the battery lots. I've put it down to the battery loosing charge, it's got a reasonably new battery (maybe 3years old) but it has a...

i changed the core plugs in a v6 i started rebuilding last year, none leaked but when i cleaned the ****e off the block i found two with holes. also had one rot out in a 2 1/4 petrol, depends how ****ty the water in the engine has been i suppose!

nice, it was an old looking engine, still had a dynamo on it and such. it would be a nice beast to tinker with if i didnt already have several beasts in need of some tinker-time!

i've had the little catch that prevents accidental engaging of reverse gear jam before, that prevented me getting reverse gear but didnt involve any grinding noises. its an easy check though; if you look at the slots where the gear stick selects the gear (you'll need the transmission tunnel...

this is a bit crap without pictures but anyway, while perusing a vast expanse of agri scrap yard today i came across a 109 series 2a with an old non-standard diesel engine, nothing very exciting but.... in the cab there was a 4th lever down beside the transfer box ones that conected directly...

cheers! i think i'll do just that!

sorry i forgot to mention but i also swapped distributer, HT leads and plugs out for a set of used one's from a spare engine....

Evening all, just the other day i set the static timing on my long suffering series 2a, it was backfiring and not idling very well before deciding not to ever start again so i thought it needed some tlc. Now, i was planning to set the dinamic timing once the beast fired up but with the...

my long time series 3 project has this as well, i thought it was just more noticable as it's had no front end for the last 2 years and i'm always working in front of it in my shed! i have stripped and overhauled the front axle and it definatly didnt look bent!! but i might have failed to...
