Hi, If i was looking to buy a classic,t&t exempt land rover like ours to drive for pleasure the brake upgrade would be a definate plus,the lack of servicing another,i am sure that you have increased the value by much more than the price of the parts,on mine the overall condition and location of...

Good morning,its looking smart,thanks for taking the time to post the pics, On mine i stuck with getting the already fitted tls 11" set up working to its full potential, it does now subject to a few more miles of bedding in, One prob on mine which may possibly occur on yours(but i hope not)...

Hi, It looks like an interesting project,would it be possible to take some pics of the process as you go and put them on here?, Atb Ryn

Good afternoon, Is it possible to do away with this part and pipes and simplify the system, atb Ryn@wet and warm west cornwall

Hi,its good you have got it going,just for future reference your first post could possibly have been a sign of it tightening/seizing from lack of engine oil, Atb, Ryn

Good morning, I have bought a powerspark dizzy and leads etc,i was waiting for a chance to fit it and luckily my old girl started misfiring on overrun yesterday, I was half way through strobing it ( '69 2a/3.) and came to a bit of a problem ,I have a timing mark pointer which is not the same as...

its a 2 1/4 petrol,1969,i have found myself pulling away in 2nd and then mostly in top,usually down into 3rd for some of the steeper hills,some of the hills are 1st 'crawler' gear hillls in my van,the landy goes straight up them!,i don't drive in traffic often,the low ratios work but I don't...

good morning, I am thinking about fitting a higher ratio diff or pair off a later model to my series 2a/3,this is as I am mostly on the roads and lanes and only seem to use use 3rd or 4th gear and 50mph is about as quick as I go,it is more for mpg and comfort as it is revving a bit on the high...

good morning, I had a similar problem,the newer,longer screws are not threaded enough to cut down,when I found some of the right length for mine I then discovered that quite a few of the threads were stripped in the hub,this prob was compounded by there not being enough meat around the hole to...

Thanks for the pic,my engine was just about cool enough to touch the plugs when i tested it,the low one would have been the hottest as i dont work as fast as i would like to,possibly the cranking speed wasnt as high as it should be,it has an ancient but reliable battery in it,probabally 2nd hand...

thanks for the info,I have an aftermarket isolater on the front of the seat box,below the centre seat so thats most likely the reason for the relocation of the solenoid when the cableing was done, I measured and put the correct oil + capacity in etc,as wrote,i will get to the bottom of it but...

good morning, The oil leaks out of the oil bath down onto the starter solenoid which is directly below on the side of the chassis,i seem to recall that in the diagram i saw it showed a cork gasket between the lower oil resovoir and upper air chamber.this is where i suspect it is leaking from,i...

good morning,The only running issues is the mpg ,i have a lpg system but that will prob be too much trouble to fit this year, I only used the haynes manual to rest my cup of tea on, A real pleasure to own and drive, Atb and thanks, Ryn @warm and sunny west cornwall.

Good evening,this evening i checked the compression and plugs, No 1 plug is a bit too rich and the others are good,maybe a bit towards lean,i had to do 2 tests on number one as to double check the odd psi,i have put a kn type filter on with a new coil,i have bought new leads + powerspark...

I would be mostly woried about the vin,without one the implication is that it is stolen,the parts are ok as they are deffo acceptable upgrades and do not affect the historic status,what does the mot history check show?, Atb,ryn

A matchless 350 somewhere at the back of my workshop under a load of stuff

Hi,did you find much?,seems a good hobby to get out and about, Atb

Hi,maybe a look at your spare(s) might help in what to get,i have 4 x 205 matching fitted but my 2 spares are odd, Atb and.good luck, Ryn, @ not a cloud in the sky,west cornwall

Mine is front tls,double the front wheel cylinder capacity so needed the larger m/cylinder,iirc the rear pipe on the master goes to the front via a 't' union, The front m/cylinder pipe goes to the 't' near the back axle as standard,a simple,basic system.front and back on seperate systems,on some...

On mine i methodically swapped bits over, ie i first put the drum then shoes on the other side,one dragging brake changed over so i knew where to concentrate on, the all round dremel shoe chamfering and new snail cams certainly helped,i have even contact all round the shoes on all wheels, As i...
