thanks, but there's no watt's info' on glow plug pack ( paddocks DA1057 ) Originally glow plugs weren't fused, I've fitted the upgraded kit that doesn't connect to earth on engine block, spoken to a few people who've done the same, they recon an inline fuse is a sensible precaution. I've only...

That's perfect, thanks. I did google searches for the info but this didn't come up. Just the inline fuse for the glow plugs needed now ?

Wires to rear of landy were torn, rat bitten & bodged from previous owners added bits ( some were loops of wires that went nowhere ), so removed when I was repairing chassis. I've replaced with a quality piece of 7 core trailer wire , goes from engine bay, & up behind drivers seat, running...

Ali' fuel tank, bought to get my 109 resto on the road while waiting for Landy tank to arrive, only used for 2 weeks. Approx' dimensions are 75cm wide, 28cm high, 28cm deep. Located near Spalding. £40

Got a pair of Girling shocks for SWB Heavy Duty Front & LWB Front 4483, these are new unused, with rubber bushes. They were bought for my 109 but mine's military so needed extended shocks. Located near Spalding. £50 the pair

Yep, that bits fine thankfully, it's where it tightens into the plastic, previous owner's over tightened everything in dash & plastic has cracked everywhere, had to use 2 molegrips to undo most, ( back bit involved a lot swearing, shouting, & bloodied knuckles :p ) £800 :eek::eek::eek::eek:

Yep, thanks, the dash where the stop cable fits has been cracked/broken & bodged by previous owners. Good to know there's a few options if it goes, will get replacement in time, but getting it on the road cost more than I'd budgeted. .

Hi all, might be a stupid question, but as a newbie to diesel series Landy's, How do you stop the engine if there's a problem with stop cable ( if snapped or come loose ), is it as simple as put something over air intake to starve engine ? Think this will be useful for other newbies. Thanks

Hi all, trying to get my series 3 109 on the road after a long resto & budget's bit tight now, I'm after a set of at least 4 tubed tyres or tubeless steel rims, as long as tyres are road legal & not cracked. i'm near Spalding. Got a set, A massive thanks to ED

Ok, was just asking. Again, varying information online ( youtube & others ) about tightening shackle bolts )

Ah ok, was going to ask, thanks for clarifying. spoke to a mate last night who say's he does shackle/chassis bolts just tight so shackle moves freely by hand, then cranks up lock nut really tight, is this b/s ? seems to be varying info online.

:vb-lol:

Forgot to say, when it was all loosened, I stood half in engine bay / bumper & worked the suspension a bit ( 21 stone :vb-weee: ) to see if it settled ( it didn't ), can't drive it at the moment but should be road worthy soon, will try a bumpy road, see if that works. Any other ideas appreciated

undone & retightened U & ( shackle bolts with load on ), didn't make any difference, loosened all, jacked chassis up on lower side, & retightened so gap was both 2.5in, when lowered, returned to about 1 inch gap. OH, & rung off the thread on the squared U bolt ( a lot of swearing ), had bottle...

Thanks for the suggestions, will undo & retighten U & shackle bolts today & let you know what happens. As a relative newbie to Landy's it's a steep learning curve ( Haynes / workshop manual, YouTube, & advice on here Helps ) Does everyone Torque the U & shackle bolts or just tighten ?

Yep, checked part numbers & stamps a couple of times to ensure right side fitted, been caught out in the past, finished the job, then noticed wrong 1 was on.

nope, not poly's, yep torqued when lowered, but will redo tomorrow just to make sure. thanks

Hi all, fitted new 11 leaf front springs today to my s3 ex military, the landy's now sitting about 1 inch higher passenger side, very obvious when looking a bumpstop gaps. Fitted a few in the past, don't know why it's high, will it settle when driven, Any ideas ?
