mine is a dec '69 series 2a which has some features of the 3 which are supposedly 'wrong',in particular the dash,i have done some research however and discovered that the a plastic padded dash in mine was fitted to u.s spec 88 station wagons due to safety regs before they were fitted in the...

good afternoon, do the head bolts have washers?,when i took my head off to have the lead free work done there were none,i have seen head bolts for sale and listed alongside are washers,if yes is there any reason why general purpose washers of the correct size could not be used, also on an iron...

thats why they are there but the reason i dont use them is i dont drive that much in the van, on my series i have the sidelights on most of the time,

when i take my van for its mot the examiner asks me to turn on my fog lights, its the only time that they are used one year to the next,

sometimes jacking the front up as high as is safe and wedging the pedal down overnight will work. dont know why but it worked for me when i tried it,

the only thing i had to do fettling wise when fitting a s3 lwb servo and dual circuit 11" tls system into my non servo 2a 88 1969 was to elongate the aperture where the pedal goes through the b.head,the cutting area is obvious as the b/head metal surround 'plate/border' around the aperture is...

just a couple of points, regarding the m/cylinder,that is very likely to be the culprit,i might be tempted to fit a cheap,sub £10 replacement just to 'isolate' the fault ,rebuild kits cost almost as much and more. i have fitted a 11" tls on mine and it is certainly the best upgrade out there,it...

its only small,i can just nick it with my fingernail,i have a bore measuring tool on its way so i can check the tolerances and tbh a rebore is quite likely,its on 90,000m with standard pistons,copper is just showing on the shells i am just working out my options,the local place charges 250 +...

reawakening this good thread, i have got my cylinder head back today from having a unleaded conversion done and am thinking of doing the rings,bigends etc regarding post 3,how big/sharp can the lip at the top of the bore be before it causes problems?,if it is minor can it be honed? thanks

there are 2 different size cams,i thought they are cheap enough to buy a few of each,i was glad i did. i dont think you have to grind any metal off the shoes, chamfering the linings combined with centering the shoes/drums by hitting with a rubber mallet got mine wheels spinning freely, they work...

you have reminded me that it was the same on mine, i bought a £10ish 12v cordless dremel type tool from lydl which was a great help around the brakes etc,

iirc the snail cam is much softer than the hardened splined shaft and when assembled as the inventor intended it all pulls together and the splines cut into the cam as it does on my s11a 88 its the post that they bear against that caused me a load of grief, atb ryn @sunny west cornwall

you were putting the 12v bat feed into the starter solenoid feed from the wrong end,so to speak,hence when turned(springy) you were feeding the ignition coil etc 1=red white TO solenoid,2 =brown always live etc, i have fitted inline fuses everywhere except coil/starter and always carry an...

hi,as above but i am wondering how you know you need shoes but dont know the sizes, have you visually inspected them?, atb ryn

thanks, i am glad i have a series, only info needed is petrol or diesel, anyway it obviously isnt normal so the solution/advice i will pass on is to go to a different garage and join up to landyzone, atb

is that a royal we?

on my gun forum somebody has posted that they have no heater and a puddle under the vehicle,their garage says it is just normal land rover territorial ****ing!, what is the likely source as all hoses are o.k?

the front soft brass splitter on mine was awkward as a wrong fitting will go partially in and engage the thread but then tightens up before sealing,i would recommend removing the splitter to check the compatabillity 'on the bench',i bought a selection of metric/imperial fittings inc a new...

i dont want to appear rude but please excuse me if i sound it but are there any issues with the drive train binding,ie brakes?, p.s your land rover looks an absolute gem, ryn
