Need advice please, had no time to take part in forum lately sorry, been to busy taking to myself under the Landy. Progress on series 3 clean up has come quite away down the line now, chassis cleaned welded painted, all doors off in bits and back together just put new clutch in and can't quite...

That was a thought I had before I started, as it was peeling off in a lot of places I did´nt want to cover old with new and have any reaction with components not mixing. I will be doing a body-cavity sealig after all welding is done.

“Oh no not him he´s back again!” Yes afraid so its me……Although I haven´t got such a silly question as last time:rolleyes: shame on me, but I´m learning. I´ve been cleaning up the chassis on my 109 working my way down to the rear end, replacing most of the rusty bolts whilst removing what...

Hi Wavey, take a look at this link, I would even get intouch with the guy, he seems to be up on his winches. If you by chance come across a winch that is period for my 1983 S3 109 "I want that one" Winches

Nice one mystery thats very helpful, I have uploaded a pic with all cables involved, just connected without batterie. This conbination welded the jump leads to batterie so i quickly disconnected. Questtion 1 is the earth from batterie to motor block sufficient? Or should there be one from...

here's a photo of the solenoid...

Hi pobby, I had serious trouble today you ever seen a landy on Bon fire night where the "guy" should be on the top on fire! I put a pic in later I can't upload right now, then one can see what's left of a solenoid that's caught fire, it still might work if I can get wires wright.

. Hi dr pepper, it has solenoid attached to top of starter motor I post a pic later so you can see, read action today with crossed wirers, nearly roast landy:-(

Hi mystery, White/red has it's own pushon pin that's ok. My problem is the fat black with ring for bolting on from batterie. And 2 smaller brown cables with rings for bolting on, I post a pic of solenoid later, thx

Hi redhand, back of starter has only 5 nuts on there, 2 long bolts to hold starter together, 2 short screws holding end cap containing carbon brushes etc, 1 lonely bolt not sure what it's for has little L shaped clamp! Maybe earth connection?

Also if it makes any difference, it's a lhd with factory aircon and a Perkins diesel which was fitted at a later date. According to paper work it was produced with petrol engine, but the wiring looks original, thanks guys stay with me. :-)

"Wow what a scorcher of a day", i'll come to that in a minute, it's ok it was my first post here as newbie and a lot of us had our heads stuck down the toilet on the first day at school! I would like to thank all for possible solutions to my problem, as I only have limited internet access I can...

Hi does anyone have a suggestion for connecting wires. Hope my drawing makes sence in the attached file thanks in advance.

Not being such a bright spark can anyone tell me which of the two copper threaded points on a Lucas 2M113 starter motor solenoid receives the plus cable from batterie? I am getting violent sparks when trying to connect batterie!
