Make sure the shoes and drum is free of any brakefluid or oil if the is any visible replace shoes and wash drums properly.

I had the same problem with my 2.25, there was a bad contact from the body to the engine if I remember correctly, take the earth directly to the starter I am sure it will help! Join 4x4community.co.za, lots of local info and Landie guys!

Is it a SWB? My SWB used to do that when reversing something to do with the design, where a 109' brakes are useless to hold it on a steep incline the SWB is great!

Hi, I am from South Africa and rebuilding a Series 3 station wagon, if possible can you mail me a few pictures of your Landy, or a link to some pictures, would like to spray mine the same colour yours look awsome! thanks Frans

Davec, did some sums, according to me a 2.25 with standard diffs, 235/85/16 tyres at 3000 rpm will be doing 96km/h is that correct?

Dazz you are correct thats the colour, the name is Kaswick Green got the name of the oh facial:D site!

First time I post in the Defender section, hope you can help, I am looking for the name of the Green the Pumas is available with, not the dark an not the light green, its a dull type of colour, almost millatary?! sorry difficult to explain in works, want to spray my Series in that colour!

Thanks guys, I assume Disco 1 wheels are the same size then, have seen a couple of them with 7.50' ?!

I tried searching but cant find an answer, I know 235' fits on wolf rims, but I have never seen 7.50 on them, is it possible or are the rims to wide?

I found the problem, as mentioned the gearlever didn't pull the reverse gear selector shaft fully to the front, due to the o ring that is missing, no other gears can then be selected because of this, fitted a piece of petrolpipe at the end, works fine now! thanks guys!

If I can give you advice, go for the full locker, my Series 3 have one and it is excellent, with the true-trac you need to apply brakes, and when one wheel is in the air it won't engage, I don't notice mine when driving on the road.

Thanks alot guys will take a look, recently removed the floors so it won't take too long!

Sorry guys double post, posted from phone, showed the other post didn't load!

Hi all, hope someone can help, my Series 3' gearbox locks up when coming out of reverse, forward gears can't be selected, only reverse, it is not the usual lock up when a slip of the clutch cures it, selecting reverse a few times unlocks it again, any advice?

Hi all, hope someone can help me, my series 3' gearbox locks up solid when comming out of reverse, the forward gears can not be selected only reverse, it is not the usual thing of slipping the clutch a bit to select a gear, it feel like something is blocking it, engaging reverse a few times...

Try it yourself,just make sure you have a manuel to show you the steps!I reconed my gearbox without any special tools.

You say you can barely adjust the adjusters tight,firstly do a test and put a small nut,that fits snugly over the adjuster post on the post,you will then be able to adjust all the adjusters tight,if you still have to pump the pedal,look for air in the system!

When I bought my first Landy I almost made the mistake of only filling the gearbox with oil,thought the gearbox and transfercase used the same oil,maybe thats what happened with you,the previous owner only checked the gearbox oil,the overdrive I can't help you,no experience!If there is damage...

Thanks brnocz will take the casing off and take a look!Andyb thanks anyway!

Not sure if its the same on a Series 1 but on a Series 2 you can loosen the bolts on the inside of the wheel,cut the old seal in half and remove,then cut the new seal in half,place around the swivel ball,screw the spring that's in the seal back together around the swivel,and glue the seal...
