This has not been a good week. I had a visit from pikeys last evening casing my vehicles. It's actually quite good that neither run at present as they won't be going any where fast.

No problem. Enjoy. I think I know what I was doing wrong thanks to a helpful PM (thanks again!) so after tea going out for another bash.

Nooooo lol. The trouble is with yew lot is that I never know when you are serious or taking the michael! Is it honestly really hard to push a landy when its in gear? I've never tried before, it's dead easy in neutral :)

WHat, you're saying I left the handbrake on?! Haaaa.

Wonderful wonderful, I like the positive outlook. I'm a **** mechanic haaa, so didn't relish the thought of an engine transplant. Good way to learn though. So why can't I push it in 4th? I am a strong lass and even the fella who is a brick ****house can't move it? That really worried me. Thank...

Just a click Storm.

Hallo Hope you can help me diagnose my landy's problems... It's my '73 Series 3 (88 petrol 2.25) and I haven't had it that long. An ebay "bargain" ha ha. Was running nicely to start with, although we have had a few blips with it losing power and then not wanting to start again. No smoke...

Thank you both enormously. Looks like a busy evening ahead with the manuals. I found a fantastic book in a charity shop from the lates 60s which is brilliant for beginner would-be mechanics like me. Lots of pictures! I also have my Haynes manual although its for diesels not petrol. Hope I...

Thank you. Have not done much with it at all since owning it. So time for some TLC. I am a bit annoyed as the fella has completely taken over it and I hardly ever see it, let alone drive it, yet it's me that has to sort out the problems. Anyway, practical advice and most appreciated. Will...

Morning Ol Blue has been mine for about a month now, and he has had a few blips with stalling which thought had been resolved by changing the fuel filter and putting in a new battery. Yesterday the fella took him to work and on the way home it lost power after about 5 mins of driving. No smoke...

I am so green, that's awesome. Happy driving!

I can't wait for this!

Cool! :smokin:

I'm doing mine Gulf colours. I don't think it really matters so long as you like what you've chosen and you do a good job. Not too keen on the silver roof idea, but if you like that, then go for it. Dads can have some funny ideas. I used to have a midget years ago, and my lovely dad paid for a...

Nope, the guy said he could give it a jump but was worried if it was something else, I'd end up broken down again a few yards down the road. I had the kids with me and we'd been waiting a while so was quite glad just to get a ride home without any more fiddling about.
