see my profile pic/avatar - 7.5 tyres and military shackles (i think) and std leafy springs :)

in my opinion: probably not worth lightening the flywheel, might make it not trickle along in 4wd as well? see no reason why porting the head wouldn't work - from my A series experience that makes a lot of difference, the series head looks to be similar (just a lot bigger!!) spare head and a...

needs a letter from a registered garage - my local MOT man did one on headed paper for my MG conversion. was absolutely fine with that, sent me it back all good. what fanatic sed. doing nothing won't work - if it aint on the V5 it aint kosher.

spinach or bigger steering wheel

dunno bout diseasels but presumably the starter has an engagement thingy? like a thing that slides along and meshes with the ring gear? (there's one on most of the starters iv'e seen - aint seen a landy one tho) cud it be that stickin and not releasin properly? wont be this if it dunt make...

i'm 24 on a series 2A that's shagged and it's costing me 160 quid. got 0 NCB. Adrian Flux.

should be, tested fer leaks by squirting stuff about and it didn't change it. seems to be random when it chooses to idle low, might well be heat related, thort it mite be fuel vaporisation? will have another poke at it this evening, some buggers gone and made it all dark at half 4 now though....

cheers chaps timing is OK - will check again tho :) defo no air leaks, was the first thought. will read some of them things and see if i cant fix it :)

Hi all. Series 2A with 34 weber on it - it's stupid. refuses to idle half the time -:mad: trying to drive in traffic is a total nightmare, i got extremely annoyed with it... :mad::mad::mad::mad: caused a frosty silence from the passenger seat :doh: it's not the idle speed setting 'cos...

whoa cheers Pikey - i'll forward that lot to him. looks like it might well be a viable extra moneymaker - asking other places is a good idea as well :) thanks everyone! that's all well useful :)

yeah he knows bout the subsidy loss - was wondering if it would make enough to make up fer it - obv more difficult if limited days. hadnt thought bout newts n stuff. not much up there apart from a few sheeps - who knows what ecomentalists could turn up though. thanks fellas, good info, keep...

hum hadn't thought bout planning permission. U really need that for a field with tracks on? wouldn't b surprised if you did mind, just unexpected :)

Hi all Got a farmer friend with an empty quarry sort of area. He's thinking about setting up a pay&play there. What do you need to set a one of these up? It's really in the 'pub ideas' area at the moment - investigation and information needed. some kind of insurance perhaps needed? he...

that's rubbish :( where in Northumberland are u? I can highly recommend Tony Thompson & sons in Morpeth - really very good and wouldn't let anyone else test my K series midget. did the landy as well - he's tough but fair - failed it the first time 'cos of it's brakes, but didn't fail it for...

this The Road Vehicles Lighting Regulations 1989 and this http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2005/2559/contents/made say that driving lamps (i.e. them that come on with full beam) have no restriction on placement as long as they are symmetrical - so 3 lamps on a mini is OK. foglamps have...

yup. burns bout half of it and ****es the rest out of a possibly non existant sump gasket/back of engine/ everyewhere. no plug foulin or oil in watter, runs really well, just tons o bloo smoke on startup and power. whole things so shagged - all the gearboxes n stuff - it's not worth fixin it...

got 20 outta my 88 last wekend on moterway- gotta webber on it and a shagged engine - pint of oil evry 50 mile running 7.5 16s rangemasters on front and SAGs on back. pump up the tyres but dont put backs up to 50psi unles u like spinning on roundabouts at 20 mph, drive behind people, lorries...

what carb's on it? mine does it as well with a webber, cuts out coming up to junctions sometimes. no idea why, just putting up with it. have cleaned all out and messed with linkage, still does it. increase idle speed doesnt change it as it seems to have got 2 idles, one that very low and one...

i don't even have them bits...... got a bit of a flexy floor as a result, but passed MOT

1968 Series 2A - 2,000 mph on the A19. I overtook someone once......
