    Why is my landy running so hot?

    Hi Cheers,for the tip, I think it must be some reading fault, as it is feels ok at the bottom of the rad, so I am not overly worried, concentrating on getting the brakes done, then can spend a bit of time playing with this, when I have a few hours spare. I was tempted to flush the rad, but...

    Slave Cylinders?

    Hi I have bought two cylinders for the landy today, £35 for the two, with the VAT, from landranger services, Lockhead ones, so should be ok, not the cheaper ones, that save you about a fiver! Arrange a night to fit thee, then it should hopefully be ok, fingers crossed! Cheers Dave

    welding mask

    Your mask, if it is a solar one should charge up whilst welding, as welding is UV light. I have a speedglass, great masks, cost a bit,but I get them bough for me, as I do welding as part ofmy work. Cheers Dave

    Slave Cylinders?

    Hi They seem to be ok, but then again, if it does pull to the left I can do the others, no problem, as I am not using it everyday, your probably right though! My luck allmost garentees it! You see people messing with seals, I can't understand scrimping on things like brakes etc. Cheers...

    Why is my landy running so hot?

    Hi Right, the oil seems clean, so no signs of water, from a head gasket problem, I switch the engine/ignition off, and it drops to cold on the guage, and the ignition on, and it creeps back up, slowly. The top hose isn't hard, from a head gasket fault. the fan won't turn without the belt...

    Why is my landy running so hot?

    Hi I found the Land Rover was running just under the red on the temperature Guage, I would have thought it should be half way up the normal bit, shouldn't it? What are the reasons for it being high, is it a radiator problem? Can you add an electric fan, would this help? The Land Rover...

    Coolant Flush and Replace

    Don't go too strong either with the antifreeze as there is a point where it gets too strong, and stops working so well. I had it 50.50 mix and it seemed to be very good on the refractometer, but wouldn't go any stronger personally. That was good to -55. hehe Was nearly tested last winter...

    Just about to go and buy my first series 3!

    Cheers, I will have a look at it tomorow or monday, might be easier to wait till monday and go on a ramp at work. Do I back them both off, and adjust them the same number of turns, or tighten them right on, and turn them back a turn or two each, to get them both the same? If I try the...

    Just about to go and buy my first series 3!

    I have bled the brakes, and it looks to be a bit better, in that, I can just stop, now with no pumping etc, but it is still pulling to the right, must need adjusting, but the two adjusters are confusing me at the moment! Any iadeas, in simple english, I have read about it on the net, with a set...

    Just about to go and buy my first series 3!

    Cheers! I think it is genuine, how do I tell if it is not? Bit green in landrover circles as you may notice! hehe The shed will have plenty of space for the motor roller, when the time comes I drop on one that is right for me. Decided not to rush into buying one, like the landy, just wait...

    welding mask

    Hi You should find any change in light reaching the cells will darken it, but then if it is not bright/uv enough it will change clear again, hence waving your hand in front. Give it a go with your welder, close your eyes, when arc - ing, then open them straight after, you should see it...

    Coolant Flush and Replace

    Pure vinagar with dishwasher liquid, thats meant to be quite good! I personally in the past, just left the hose running through it for half an hour, each way, that admitantly was not on a landrover, but an older vehicle, with a bigger radiator. Cheers Dave
