I tested my last petrol engine and it showed 150 ish each so 100 is a pretty low, would account for lack of power

I did purchase the etch off ebay, I did however ask if it had a date on the label and was assured that it was never more than 3 months old, so should be ok. Temperature in the garage is roughly 15*c Gonna have another go tomorrow night. If it dont work I will try barcoat, but can I apply onto...

Can I get that on ebay?

I'l try that, Im using a 1k etch primer with 2k thinner (that was recommended by the supplier as its faster), i'l flat it back and try a mist coat. Maybe my gun wasn't set up properly. How often between coats?

Im having a series of disasters atm, firstly trying to prime the aluminium panels (using etch primer and 2k thinner), its reacting around the old paint:mad: Am I rite in thinking I need to remove all the old paint? Secondly I then went to open the tin of bronze green paint and it resembled...

My last one was a petrol 2 and 1/4. Really nice engine but overdrive made huge difference to cruising speed and mpg. Bit pricey now but easy to fit

Welcome :welcome2:

Yes I had this problem with my last landy. Luckily Ive got good physical access to everything now as wings etc are removed. It does make fiddly jobs more bearable (is that how you spell that word? lol) I will do the chassis, brakes etc before refitting panels. If I can get my hands on an...

Sounds good - that aint far...... Im working that day but depending what time it goes on til I could shoot up for a gander. Yea your welcome to call over my shed in Dinas, Im usually there couple of time times a week for a few hours... just started work on a new rally car. Sometime next week...

I know where ur coming from there ha ha. Why you takin her off the road? :confused:

Yea that sound familiar, had same problem with my last landy. There is height adjustment on the pedal itself which would release pressure if I remember. Also knackered flexis will have same effect..... cheap enough tho. When theyr set up correctly they actually work really well

Alright there matey, aint been on here for a while sorry. Had a bit of a change of plan, was hoping to sort a few bits out and mot but one thing lead to another. As they do!! So ive bitten the bullet and stripped her down to a rolling chassis. Do a tidy job. Moved the chassis up to dinas last...

I been off forum for few weeks.....yes Britpart!! I followed a few suggestions on other threads.... tried grinding the metal tabs that slot into cylinders which did help a bit. Then had trouble getting rid of the air, I now believe that master cylinder is shot.....pedal straight to the floor...

Hi Tam, this is interesting, mine is a 1973 p6b in the same colour! Its locked in a barn a few miles away, next time I go there I will take a pic and try and upload it. Im not too clever with gadgetry but I do have a new phone which Im getting to know! I hope to get her on the road this year...

Gidday Al, Its Sunday lunchtime almost and Im just reading your message! Sorry man, I know Glogue quarry quite well done a few night events through parts of it. Best of luck its a crackin day for it... keep in touch, let me know how you get on, Andrew

Thankyou - good to hear from you

Well done...2nd in class is good going. Good turn out? Ive had to work all weekend (double time tho ha ha) or I woulda come to spectate. yes makes sense now, the shunt, turning circle is pretty poor and is worse in 4wheel drive. I got to put mine in 4 wheel drive to get up the rear lane then...

How did you get on? Gotta say it looks like fun. I done a lot of rallying etc as navigator so I took a look at the regs out of interest. It mentions shunting... what does this mean? (I may sound thick..lol) and as its done to msa rules does this mean that msa license is required?

Good luck tomorrow, had a look at West wales 4x4 site, looks a lot of fun. Wouldnt mind going off road myself but no experience doing stuff like that - looks pretty chalenging for driver and vehicle!

I see. Took a look at your defender and I seen it about, recognise the Cardigan reg. She looks like a handy bit of kit....and for 20 year old pretty sound. Hopefully you will see mine around the lanes soon. Cant miss her, K plate bronze green truck cab diesel. Erm, with some age related marks...
