These are from a swb and 10". The top spring is not connect to the trailing shoe but a lug behind the trailing shoe. When I bought the landy it had the top spring connected to both shoes and I had binding forward and backwards. Now my Landy can roll down a hill. :-) Thanks for the...

This appears to be a fairly common problem and the proposed solutions are varied. As it happened, I had the front axle on stands and the free wheeling hubs in 2wd mode so the front wheels could spin freely if pushed by hand. Both sides were free in the forward direction and one side would bind...

Had the same problem. The front axle on stands and spun the wheels by hand. One side was fine in both directions. the other side the brakes would bind in reverse. Swapped over springs leaving shoes as is, and the problem followed the springs. Replaced binding springs with new and problem...

In touch with the previous owner. Apparently there is a smaller external diameter nut than the ones supplied. Simple solution. We'll swap

Hi After searching it's clear that I may need to go back to fixed hub however, before throwing in the towel on a 24 spline AVM FWH, I thought I'd ask for help. The rather than write a confusing tome that will bore your pants off, I've made a video to explain what the problem is...

Thanks Iceman, Impressive work and thank you for sharing. :5bcheers2: I've seen these parts listed online however it's really helpful to see how you've done it; unpick rather than chop and hack, is good advice. Landy #2 has a bulkhead similar to yours however that is next project. I may pass...

Having cut out the rotten bits, the replacement footwells are now in position ready to be fixed. The video link below on how I've cut out the old footwells and installed the new so far. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osKJRYSN464 Question is do I weld (mig) or use something like sikaflex to...

After spraying an etch primer from a rattle can, it made sense to consider spraying rather than painting using a brush/roller. (Rims, body panels) Rebuilding a 1974/1975 Landy on a budget Rather than buy a compressor and all the kit that goes with it, this erbauer erb561srg electric sprayer...

It worked Jock! The rear springs were also incorrectly attached. Once he springs were moved I did not need to adjust anything more. The brakes work perfectly! Thank you Incorrect spring position show in photo below. Correct position shown below It hooks onto a lug on the brake shoe, behind...

Thank you. I've only looked at the front brakes and the springs were incorrectly attached. I'll check the back ones shortly and keep y'all posted.

After searching the forum, this post is about as close to my issue on a series III 88 with a single CV Master cylinder. I've adjusting the settings of the MC plunger there appears to be a tiny difference between the brakes working normally and binding or having to pump the pedal twice but...

The time it takes for a police investigation is long; at the moment I'm still waiting for the garage to be called by the police and it's 6 weeks since the land rover was impounded. I've just bought a masai red '75 series 3 88' that requires some tlc but it has a year's MOT. I used...

Cheers, thank for the notes. In my case, it appears that a "friend" used the landy and they fell out. He broke the chassis and probably sold it for scrap. She did not believe him and registered it stolen. The garage bought it and I bought it. The garage has offered a full refund, however I'd...

In April, we bought a rusted broken series 3 88 for £700 from a dealer in Kirkcaldy (bricks and mortar). we have a sales invoice and a new V5 in my name. My son is 17 and has helped with the rebuild and is learning how to grind, cut, weld and graze his knuckles undoing rusty bolts. We've...

Thanks for the positive comments and I'll order one of those masks; makes sense. :D

The quarter chassis was the right size for what we needed. In the process, I've managed to paint most of the chassis with red oxide and I'm planning on using linseed oil for inside the chassis. Below is the link to a youtube video of what we did. Hope you either find it entertaining or useful...

This is the unprotected metal I described.... Stage on of the paint stripping. Applied in the morning and went to work. It looks like water droplets. It's crinkled up paint. After stripping with a paint scraper, adding more paint stripper and leaving overnight, this is the current status...

You're right. Thanks, just save a whole job.:)

I've just received a quarter chassis and it's a brit part. I'm new to this rebuilding game and spent a lot of time reading up about what to do on a chassis. It appears that land rover chassis seem destined to turn into puff pastry as quickly as possible. This quarter chassis part has been...

Great to see your progress. I've an similar '74 model and am about to start sorting the back end of the chassis. For stabilizing rust I'm using a converter off fleabay (see below). Painting the lot in red oxide is a great idea. Going to try and protect the inside of the chassis when I cut off...
