Right, Thanks again! Is he a landy breaker or something? handy person to know if so, especially as I also need two switches. the one that operates the front washers, and the push button one that does the rear wash. I took my dash apart yesterday thinking it was a broken pipe:rolleyes: they dont...

Cant thank you enough! I will check that out for sure. :) Got to say Im impressed with the level of help and advice you get on this forum, makes me proud to be part of the landy scene.

Oh ok thanks. would a disco axle bolt straight on so to speak, or do I have to do lots of adaptions? if so what would be the best axle to get for my 87 90?

Thanks for that. How do you get to check this breather bannjo thing? I'll try that first before I start thinking about new axles etc.

It does indeed! thank you so much. I really must get a manual for this thing :D

I haven't looked at that, I'll check. can you get decent secondhand casings from somewhere if thats happend? or maybe I could weld it up? if so, wheres the best place to try and get one? Thanks for the reply by the way. :)

Ok thanks, I've found out where the fuse box is, I'll check it out if I remember to take my glasses up my garage. :rolleyes:

Ok please forgive my ignorance,and the newbie stupidity, but I've really only just started driving my landy after restoring it, and I've never had a landy before, im used to classic VW's. are you saying you have a seperate switch somewhere to turn the dash lights on/off rather than them come on...

It's an 87 'E' plate 90.

I have a 1987 90, and it's fitted with a V8 rover sdi engine. Can I fit a snorkal to this? if so, where does it go once it goes inside the engine bay? And if it's possible, where can I get one? All the ones I've seen advertised are for 200/300tdi's etc but not for my engine. I've seen ones for a...

As per the title, my axle is leaking somewhere near the drain plug. is there a gasket or something that can be replaced? or any idea where the leak is coming from, and how easy is it to fix? as I'm filling the axle up quite alot to replace the lost oil.:(

I haven't had chance to look at it yet, but my dash lights are not working, and neither is my speedo. Apart from the obvious regarding the speedo, like a broken cable, or it not being connected to the clock, is there anything else that could stop it working? Just trying to save myself hours of...

Thanks guys, I'll deff try the brake frluid thing first then. if not looks like a recon. paddocks are the best way to go by the sound of it. :)

As per the title, my steering box is leaking. I believe it's an mot failier? The mot's not until august, so I have time to sort it. What I want to know is what is the best thing to do? do I go for a secondhand one and risk that leaking too, or buy a recon one? if so does anyone know the cheapest...

Thanks to all for your help! very much appriciated. I'm a newbie to the landy scene, so don't know all the contacts yet. Now ask me anything about a classic VW and I'll tell you anything, I'm even a tech adviser on a mag to them lol, but when it comes to landys, I'm still a bit lost. I'll give...

I've got an older 87 rear door lock thats fallen to pieces, if you want to sell your good old lock, I'd be happy to buy it off you. :)

I'm restoring my 90 at the moment, I've resprayed it and got to the part where I'm putting everything back on. When it came to my rear door lock, basically it all fell to bits, and I had springs and bits of lock everywhere!:rolleyes: So what I want to know is, does anyone either know how it all...

Ok, thanks for that. :)

Hi all, I've just found out after having only just got my landy that My 3.5 V8 came out of a rover sdi dating back to the 70's, with only 20,000 on the clock, The good news is 2 garages have told me the engine runs real sweet after giving it a full service and a general check over, but they...

Thanks for the replys guys, all very helpfull. I'll prob have a go at repairing them then if they can be repaired, I'm more used to working with mild steel, never had any dealings with ally before. But giving the extortionate prices of new doors, I think I it's worth trying to repair them. I...
