sticky beer is never good :D the repair of the alt is very well explained in the repair manual. You can actually try it yourself, you just need a new regulator propably. (propably RTC3966 ALTERNATOR REGULATOR | shop | www.lrseries.com | L. R. Series)

does the red light go on above 1500rpm?

yes it is, i check it every time i start her, as i do have two batteries connected (sometimes three) without anything, just parallel, so i have to make sure the alt is working. i have an ammeter, too, tho. If you turn the key to first position red and green must me lit! Sure! one more tip...

propably light died long ago, and now the alt

yes

changing brake cylinder

you have to expect that not all bleeding nipples will come loose... then you're foooked

if you change the hose you can bleed that brake only, but if you replace the hose to the axle you have to bleed both of them. supposing you bleed in the direction of the brake (top to bottom), not master cylinder (bottom to top).

ex scotland yard, photos are in my profile album, minus the lpg that i dumped: Land Rover Zone - philvy's Album: Betty 1978 ex-Scotland Yard you reminded me to upload some more, recent. propably of bulgaria offroading...

these look fine as made of steel, i just mistrust aluminium in these places...

h=25mm, d=100mm means one metre of round aluminium is more than enoug for 20 pcs, thus 5 sets. one metre is about 40 quid, making 8quid per set for material, lets suggest about 10 quid for the mill and drill, and postage to blighty is 5-10? quid. is that 60? i thought not. plus, i can make...

i got him:

a garage did it, i'd say take it back to them but as you provided the part that's a problem. but why did they give it to you in that state?

got drunk yesterday evening, eh?

wrong parts mate sounds bloody dangerous what you're doing!

lucky man you... ex plod car mine, lots of wires i've got no idea of what they do. several switches that do or dont, it's more a mess than standard lucas could ever be!

I'm just asking because I could machine aluminium for the price of a milling bit if there is enough interest (a friend has a cnc milling machine...). Pretty sur eit will cost a lot less then 60 quid...

farthest first from the series repair manual

what material were they?

might have been push button start
