Morning, the only thing i see in the engineering drawings actually is a large "O" ring between the flywheel housing and the block "ERC6432" for the 5MB, can anyone confirm this, my leak is definitely not between the housing and the block but from the oil seal and coming out of the wading plug hole.

Flywheel housing, is that the paper gasket? if so then no we didn't but i have some of them so ill look at that too. Thanks Simon

Gents, I have the west Alpine route planned for May/June if anyone is interested. I live in the east of Switzerland (Sankt Gallen) although I own a series 3 (88) i'm not certain if she will be fit by then yet (ream main oil seal nightmare) if not I have a (non landy) alternative. Basically the...

Thanks Steve, yea its actually our 3rd attempt at this, jup we have a crane and like last time will be taking the gearbox out. Floor pan and seat box bolts should be easy as we replaced all of em last time. I'm hopeful that the last two failures are due to cheap second rate seals which is why...

And once again back to square one, the drip became a steady flow but only after switching off but it’s so annoying now. I guess that’s my project for spring when the snow has gone. Any tips guys? Yes of course I’m going to NOT use the 5 quid seal but go for the OEM. Could there be anything else...

Switzerland is a red tape by the book nightmare. any mods that are visible are a no go, so when the MOT tester sees the turbo your in trouble and like your vehicle gets put off the road and in extreme cases can be seized if they consider the mod to be dangerous. So the SU carb is fine as its...

And how does it drive now compared to before, like does this make it a viable daily driver?

Me too very sad, so as I live in Switzerland reading the online version for me was the only way and I have just received the "end of life" notice. I wonder what happens to all the project vehicles the team have bought over the years. I grew up near Dunsfold and was shocked to see Dunsfold...

It's a Landy, just get a pressure washer and go for it inside and out ...

by the way take a look here Series 3 - Accelerator controls for NA 2.25 diesel | LandyZone - Land Rover Forum

Nice looking S3 there. So same but different as mines a petrol, however I have fitted an SU carb and had issues with an adapter plate that didn't quite fit on my LHD so I made one using some 5mm plate, drilled holes and cold bent it to shape in the vice, just an idea in case you cant get that part.

I know this is an old thread but we have exactly the same issue, did this get fixed? Alpine greetings Simon

So we replaced the HG and this has only been happening since, thanks for the throttle advice .. so it really could be a sensor issue then not sending what it needs? Anyone think getting the codes read would help? And is there anyway then to trigger a "choked" type cold start? Simon

Greetings Folks, So we recently did a head gasket on our 1.8 Petrol with success (after setting the timing as per the workshop manual) however there does seem to be a cold start issue, sometimes no problem fires on the first turn of the key, other times its nearly 10 minutes of turning over with...

Gents, so we had success today the Landy is running like a dream. We found that the timing was out, we reset the timing using the lower pulley mark and setting the cam sprockets as per the workshop manual and not back as we took them off, the inlet (LH) and the exhaust (RH) lined up, we contact...
