I know it's great! Ive got to take some paint back to get it welded up and clear some rust from the bulkhead and want to repaint over the top with the original/close colour. I havent seen any other lightweight with this colour scheme, intrigued to see why its painted this way too.

Hello! So... I'm sorting may rust issues the next few weeks whilst my landy is off the road, however i have no idea what the paint is called. It's an ex-military 1973 Series 3 Lightweight, and was used by the Royal Fusiliers. Does anyone have any idea what the colour is, apart from...

Evening! I'm after new axles for a series 1 86", the current rear one is a 'semi-floating' type and wanted something more like a later series axle or defender. It has a modded 3.5 V8 so after something a little beefed up... it has LT77/230 (5speed) boxes in, so ratios aren't too crucial...

Cheers, thanks for the help as always.

Yeah I'm used to the ones with a flange and 5 bolts holding it, but this has nothing like that and can't find any info anywhere! It doesn't appear to be a cover and after taking the drum brake apart still have no ideas...

Hello, We have a series 1 86" and it's been modified in the past. A rear half shaft has snapped, however have no idea how to get these axle ends off. Please see the pic and advise if you can! Cheers!

Afternoon! I'm beginning to conquer the rust on my Landy Bulkhead. One of the main areas of rust is between the upper (vents) and lower bulkhead. There is a seal, which I can only assume used to be some sort of foam strip between them. I cannot find this seal for sale anywhere on the...

Cheers for the suggestions - will probably try and find one on eBay for an afternoon of fun in the barn. I'm also tempted to have a 2nd opinion from another garage as i think they're overcharging/replacing unnecessary parts to not have to do the work(!). They look straightforward to drop...

Afternoon, When driving the other day i lost drive to all wheels, despite engaging every possible high/low/lock combo! I suspected a broken output shaft as all normal gearbox gears would engage fine, but when lifting the clutch i would hear a metallic noise, just as if the shaft had broken. I...

Hello, I am looking for new shocks for a series 1 86", but am struggling to find any. Are they the same fit as any the other series? Meaning I can put a set on from a series 3? Cheers!

Contacted HMRC and they confirmed that i didnt need one. Then spoke to DVLA and they agreed and apologised for sending me back my application! Ahh well, a weeks' delay in the process is hardly a mark in the time it takes for an age registration application! thank you for your help chaps!

Morning! I'm in the long process of registering my Land Rover Lightweight and have provided all of the information needed apart from the 'NOVA' certificate. I understand what these are for - imported vehicles to the uk, notification to HMRC etc - however cannot see how to get hold of one for...

Evening, After a week of fiddling, replaced ignition switch and new solenoid, it still has a problem. I'm thinking it must be shorting somewhere-when I re-connect the battery the dash lights come on and all electrics work-despite the keys not being in the ignition. The wiring is not in the best...

Petrol

I'll see in the morning. Is there a quick and easy way to turn the engine off without choking it or stalling?

I have a Land rover series 3 lightweight, runs very well, however today it didn't want to turn off. It took me at least 30 minutes of endless switch-fiddling and combinations for it to turn off, I think lights off, battery removed and key removed stopped it in the end! Not too sure! You can...
