I Agree that’s why it’s steered around the Landrover petrol engine, not many black boxes on them that I recall. Take all above in the context of a series 2 / 3 petrol 4 cylinder. The principles apply to others though.

For all you petrol heads out there. Most of these are generic to our series Landrover. Areas covered are. Engine Spark Fuel All are interconnected when we are looking for a good smooth running engine. We will start with the engine and I will try and keep it simple. Engine Compression, if you...

Hi, there might be no oil leaks because there is no oil left!! You still want to check all above. With the wheels in the dead ahead position ( this is where some problems can occur, the wheels not being dead ahead ) because of mal adjustment of the linkage the wheels can be dead ahead but the...

Flat batteries can show 12V, With a fully charged battery take the tops off the battery cells and get someone to turn the engine over, if you have defective cells they will fizz or bubble. You can also use a hydrometer.

It’s supposed to be the chrome bit the wheels swivel on, it’s usually where the oil drips from onto the inside of the tyre. Ok sarcasm over, You will have to get a manual or diagrams to help you if you are unsure. All are jobs most can do but if you’re asking you should...

Not interchangeable, Petrol has a 2 bolt fixing and the diesel has a 3. Check your Battery connections and Earth connections, Before you change your Starter motor or solenoid. If you have a set of jump leads use these as a temporary test, just say get your negative lead, connect it to...

A common fault, check the easy things first like the Tyre pressures. All ok, With wheels in straight line start to check the free play in the many steering linkages, if all ok, look at the free play in the steering relay or loose bolts on the steering relay (or drop arms) All ok, excessive...

Try draining the carb, I don’t know why but it goes off and goes slightly yellow.

False yes they can, recommended on a low grip surface though, to prevent wind up. I think you sum it up If you did this you would have to engage the diff lock using the non standard box I.E 90/10box+transfer. The S2 axles are old technology and won’t stand permanent use, well that’s my...

If FWH are fitted the front drive train wont be turning, without they will but wont be driving, If 4x4 is engaged there is no way for the front and rear axle to lose transmission wind up other than the wheel with the lowest grip will be forced to slip.

No Because it will be driving off the rear axle only unless 4WD is engaged.

They do but the problem lies with the front axle, standard UJ are used (without the grease retaining seal) and can’t handle full lock for normal road driving. I also agree they won’t last :eek:

Hi, the water pump does have a fan on it? Some people remove theirs and fit an electronic one. 85deg does sound high what thermostat do you have in 72deg? Until you find the problem a high % of antifreeze will help the coolant not to boil if it goes higher. In the past I have seen a massive...

Is your diff lock warning light coming on? It should after a while (once it engages) you can test to see if its in by jacking up one wheel off the ground, just say on a trolley jack, engage the diff lock and try and drive forward (slowly) if you start to move forward the diff lock is engaged, if...

You might have answered your own question, it sounds like a split hose, the pressure from the turbo will be leaking from it causing the noise,

I wouldn’t be looking at the turbo yet if there is possible engine management problems, poor idling etc

Sometimes they are hard work, I have had to heat them up, also have had the full front end jacked up with wheels off the ground and still doesn’t budge, You might have to do it in stages, get some penetrating oil seeping through for a while and have another go

More info needed, are you transplanting these Gear boxes into a S2 or ore you wanting to put S2 axles into something? I have never heard of CV joint mods for Series axles :eek:

Hi S3 S2 ?? Please confirm, ok S2-3 The fulcrum does seize up, remove the drum and back off the Hand Brake adjustment also back off the Manual adjuster, is the fulcrum ok and free? Make sure the HB lever and pull rod is set to flush with the housing, once done, fit the HB drum, adjust the...
