1/2 " or 3/4's

i'm not sure cos i've got a series 2 - but blue lights are usually main beam warning lamps - unless its been fitted aftermarket in which case it could be anything - but i'd suspect lighting of some sort

adjustable bulb filaments ? dehydrated water ? 2nd hand rivets think we could make a fortune on e bay lol

anyone got a tin of 'compression ' - no3 cylinder is a bit low and needs a top up

ahhh after 20 odd years as a mechanic I've obviously learnt nowt - stripped carb down , cleaned it out , put it back on and it was even worse - buggeritt - so off it came again :-( - some prat had only put the emulsion tube back in upside down ( ahhhhh ok i admit it was me ) - - put it back...

spooky - mine has developed similar fault started backfiring like a t**t a couple of days ago - so did the same ie points , coil , LT lead , condensor , leads - now it won't rev under load so have to try and avoid hills etc - tho I think my problem may be more to do with carb now , as it...

Probably been asked before !! Will a gearbox from a 4 cylinder series fit straight onto a 6 cylinder series - or as i suspect will I need to swap bell housing and input shaft ????? I await suitable replies from the more knowledgable being a relative newby to Landymania

As said - occupational hazard of Landy Ownership - '71 S2a 109SW Within a week of buying mine the following pleasures made themselves obvious 1 - rear diff ( rover type ) self imploded 2 - fan belt snapped taking lots of rusty radiator finning with it - ahh the usefullness of super glue...

in the 70's I had a HB Viva ( thats a car not a pencil B4 anyone comments ) who's wings were held on by lashings of cellotape , the horn used to go off in time to the indicators and the exhaust back box was a length of scaffolding pipe. Obviously it provideda good background in ' bodging ' so I...

LOL - yeh ok cos you are obviously so much better at it than me :D actually it was a little fiberoonie that it demist's - it sort of moves the mist around the screen - but it does blow HOT air which suprised me

Hmmmmmmm !!! my series 2A has the flat type of heater matrix and it works fine when it's properly bled of all air It even ( hold onto something solid Slob because this may be tooooooo much of a shock to you ) DEMISTS the windscreen :eek:

yehh Slob - had the same idea - pulled rad out - squashed damaged fins flat with pliers ( 3 core rad so middle ones were a job to get at ) and applied coat of superglue on outside of fins/ radweld on inside. Seems watertight at moment and should last until I can get myself off to Matlock to...

Popped a hole in the radiator of my 6 potter during the week Was quoted £117.50 for a recore by a local Rad specialist - BUT Paddocks have a new one for £70 - how does that work then :confused: - know where i'm going :p

cheers Wes I was even closer to you on Sunday as was in Ashbourne with a Duke of Edinburgh's award group - so if a tatty , smokey ,extremely slow 109 gets in your way its probably me :D Paul
