Damn really!? Wouldn't worn piston rings mean blue smoke all the time?

Hi Folks, Having problems getting 2nd gear, it just crunches in. Strangely though it selects fine at stand still, it's only when moving. 1,3 & 4 all ok, although sometimes 1st can be a bugger selecting (very tight). Also has fairley overdrive which works fine in all gears. Do you reckon this...

Hi folks, Wondered if you could advise. My 83 2.25 diesel is really smokey at startup and for longer than 10 secs. But once it's been running for a short while it's fine. Any suggestions as to what could be causing this? I'm new to diesel engines only ever had petrol. Not sure how to setup...

Hi folks, My SWB had a recond gearbox put in only 2 years ago but its started to not want to go into 2nd gear to well. It grinds when selecting it, either up or down the box. In does go in however but with difficulty. It does select fine when stationary and doesn't jump out of gear when...

Thanks guys!

Hi folks, I've just changed my Series 3 petrol LWB for a Series 3 diesel SWB. It's my first diesel .... ever! It's smokey, especially at startup but stays smokey pretty much during normal running too. Rather than me assuming engine fault, is there a good chance this could be the injectors...

Anyone??

Okay doke. Here are the next set of questions for the 109. Fitted the steering bearing and everythings a lot better now in relation to play (still ned to check the steering box). But while I was waiting on the steering bearing I thought I'd tidy up the wiring because dash lights were working...

It's no. 17. Managed to get it out quite easily so obviously not the one you guys thought it was .... thank god. New one on its way.

You kiddin me!!? I see there's a groove which I presumes for getting a screwdriver into but I must say it doesn't look too easy to come out. Strip down me be the only option ......:eek:

The steering column bearing that sits between the steering wheel and the column.

Hi folks, Not long bought an ex MOD 109 series 3 and I'm getting a few things done ready for running through the winter. Top of the list is the heater fan which is completely goosed. Can't see any on fleabay and wondered if you guys had any tips on where I could get one, or is this a new job...

Will do,thanks for that! Also any tips on how to get the steering bearing out?

I think I may have found the cause of the excessive play in the steering. Looks like the steering bearings are shot. Once replaced I'll check the steering box and track rod ends but expect this will get rid of a good amount of play.

Here you go

Please excuse my ignorance (this is all new to me) how do I check whether it's a LW or not?

Hi, Next question. I could do with a couple of doors for the ex MOD Series III, do all series III doors fit? Cheers.

Thanks for all the advice guys, it's been a great help!!

Will do ... thanks.

Hahaha:) Character I like, my old 1960 BSA has it but it does go left when I turn it that way. I'm certainly not expecting car like driving habits but would be surprised that so much play was standard from new but if you're saying all Series III have 1.5" half of play then I guess I need to get...
