Thank you hopefully the new parts fit correctly.

not a fan of that size of jubilee clamp prefer the two wire type the jubilee clamps tend to distort the rubber hoses you can get smaller thinner jubilees that would fit better or the correct sized modern spring tensioned clamps ,be careful when...

A folding rear step should fit with the towing plate.

Sure enough the diaphragm has a small tear.

Thankyou mystery, mystery solved! I'm surprised no one sells a replacement for series landrovers. I'm sure the rubber diaphragm deteriorates above the hot manifold and can cause running issues. I'll take mine apart and inspect. I've ordered the...

common on the MGB so easily sourced

Not standard fitment in the UK! Interesting. Thanks for sharing.

I was going to try one of these. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/394371707703?norover=1&mkevt=1&mkcid=4&mkrid=7101734352455402&criteo_campaign=770863&criteo_adset=447149&criteo_ad=1906178&cto_pld=hfwefGLSAABGKNBenwvaVQ

Sorry it's a 2.25 petrol

Good evening, does anyone have a source for one of these? There's some UK Made ones on ebay for MG's and that's all I can find. Thank you.

So update, took landrover into garage today who bled brakes and tested them. Reasonable braking force but long pedal travel. He said adjuster on rear not working and needed adjusting on front as well. Discovered rear did not have pin in shoe for...

The garage did bleed the brakes and get some air out, annoyingly managed to do it the old fashioned way so don't know why I couldn't do it. Never seem to have much luck with brakes, it was the same on my classic mini

Hello everyone! I just got my driving license yesterday. I'm 24 and applied for the license only to go off the beaten track (I work from home permanently, so no commuting involved). As a result my next car has to handle some light to medium...

Welcome to the landyzone cat litter box. Feel free to dump your contribution in the Freelander section for a better answer.

Hi all, After a gap of landy ownership of a few years I've just purchased a 1972 S3 88. Its got a perkins prima diesel conversion in and I'm wondering if anyone here can fill in any gaps in its history which is a total blank at present. Any...

I refurbed mine recently, just happened to have a tin of blue enamel boat paint in garage, used cup wheel on outside, few costs of primer and this paint went on beautiful, colour match close enough for me

Some images of our mechanical family member and the 200tdi to be transplanted. No prizes for guessing my surname - the pun is stolen from Quick Pee!

It is recommended to move the inline filter away from the carb, so it isn't sitting directly over a hot manifold.

Thanks for keeping us up to date, it's always nice to see. You've made a good start. Don't buy cheap hoses, I had to replace all of mine after just a year. Get a new thermostat and gasket when you do the coolant. I fitted an electronic...

Fitted the new Weber carb last weekend, along with new plugs, leads and an online fuel filter (still got to replace the points, but I'll do that when I properly service it in 2 weeks time - not being run for a couple of weeks, so no rush). I'm...

I think applying something regularly is the key to the preserving underneath.

I've used Dinitrol before on a Peugeot 205 and it was very good, it gave a nice smooth black finish.

I know you have painted the outside of the chassis but I would still cover the external with a chassis wax as well. I like dinitrol personally as it actually "dries" rather than remaining wet like waxoil.

I didn't know it when I bought them but all 3 companies are British.

I've reluctantly started to give Leylandi series 3, some protection today. Last weekend I used a wire brush on a drill and white spirit to remove old waxoyl then jetwashed. I used Jenolite rust converter and 2 coats of Buzzweld chassis in one...

I've removed the gauze filter because it was knackered anyways. Thought about putting and inline paper filter on instead where it's ready to reach

Good on uncle Stan, SS fuel tanks aren't cheap to buy. A new carb, ignition and timing check should get her idling nicely.
