Really? I may be talking balls then! Is it special stuff that they use? I'm talking about the usually blue stuff like comma and the like.

Make sure that you DON'T get your mixture MORE than 50% antifreeze! Anymore than this and most types of antifreezes freezing point begins to rise again, so I'm told. I'm sure the instruction on the can will point this out. I usually mix mine to 33% antifreeze which protects down to -18oC...

Thanks steve, I'll whip the box out and have a rummage inside and see what it needs.

Cheers steve! Have you bought some replacement parts or are you just dismantling and then putting back together an old gearbox? Just looking at my options and I see that Legs do a Transfer box kit at £60 before Vat and I've just been through my parts book and got nearly up to that figure on...

Cheers Steve, most of that was good news! In many ways it would be good to take the whole box out as I seem to have a delayed reaction clutch so I guess there is oil in there so then I would get to check the engine and gearbox oil seals. The only other thing I've notice about the box (apart...

Arggh! It was you clivees who I was counting on to help me out with this! All I can say is get yer landy to the garage in Grantham where my landy's previous owner last MoT'd it cause it must have been as bad as this then. I wish I hadn't looked so I didn't know about the problem! Think I'm...

With the approaching MOT I had a look at changing the rear prop on my 1965 S11a 88 as there was loads of play in the splines and investigate various issues with the handbrake. The problems I found were; Excessive wear in rear prop splines Wobbly handbrake drum Oil in handbrake...

At least it was your own

Thanks tacr2man, really the whole electric system needs re doing but i'm waiting for a major mot failure to give me the excuse to strip the whole vehicle down and do a full rebuild. That time will soon come.

I know a bloke with one arm who flies a plane. Odd thing is, when he's taking off, he waves at you.

Thanks, I'll get back under and sort her out. The landrover that is, no ones mrs.

Just ordered myself a pair of new lights. Fit those and do a couple of hundred of other jobs and the MoT will be a breeze! Cheers!

The time will soon come when I have to get a new battery to replace the tiny vaxhaul car one fitted cause I'm sick of getting the starting handle out. My landy is a 1965 11a petrol 88" and the handbook quotes a battery capacity of 58AH. Is there anything to be gained by fitting a higher capacity...

What's the best order for fitting a new exhaust system. Should you tighten up the joints first and then the mounts? Or tighten the mounts and then the joints? I've put a new exhaust on a 90 2.5 na D and it looks fine from underneath but inevietably ends up rattling against something when the...

Thanks Redhand, that's a great link. Looks like the reflectors could be the least of my mot worries!

And if so, will these lenses: Land Rover Landrover series 2 rear lamp / light lens on eBay, also, Land Rover, Car Parts, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 03-Jan-08 19:07:07 GMT) fit straight on to the series3/90 type cheapo replacement bodies? Many thanks

Is this what I should have? Land Rover Landrover series 2 rear stop lamp / light on eBay, also, Land Rover, Car Parts, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 03-Jan-08 18:51:16 GMT)

Got the mot looming for the first time since I've owned my series 2a and I've noticed that it has no rear reflectors or number plate light. The side lights have been replaced with the common cheap ones you see everywhere and it must have passed it's last mot like this before I owned it. Are...
