    Crunchy Reverse ...

    My reverse gear has all of a sudden has gone crunchy, when trying to select. ( 1986 2.5N/A ) All my forward gears are fine. I've tried putting it in 1st, and 2nd before selecting, but doesn't make much difference. If the trucks pointing forward uphill, then it appears to select a lot...

    Now that I have my new truck ( 1986 2.5n/a 90 Hard Top) I want to get around to changing oils and filters. Not having owned a Landy before. What oils need changing? Is it right that the gearbox takes automatic gear oils? Do I need to do anything to the diffs? Is it worth putting in a K&N...

    Well, made it back without any problems. The Landy is in really good nick. Full 12 months of MOT, and the chassis has never been welded!!! ( looked, and sounded solid) The engine is amazing dry too. There's the odd bubble on the paintwork- the sills on the drivers, and tailgate door looks...
