Its a perkins 2ltr turbo diesel out of a montego. When I took the old 2.25 petrol out the front lifted about 2 inches and never went back down with the new lighter motor.

The only reason I want to change the wheel is since I put a 2.0 ltr engine in the steering is very light with the large wheel. Just thought a smaller wheel would be a bit less responsive.

Thought it wouldn't be straightforward if landrover had anything to do with it lol. Just wanted to change the steering wheel and didn't want to drill and play about with the new boss.

My series 2 has got an early steering column with a pinch bolt on the back of the steering wheel to attach it.Will a series 3 column fit straight on so I can change the steering wheel.

Might be something to try. A few years back I left my landy standing then couldnt get it to start like yours. I borrowed an electric fuel pump from the local garage, just a cheap pump on a piece of ply with 2 terminal connectors and a foot of pipe each end. I bypassed the glass bowl and it fired...

I need a few bits an pieces so it got to be worth a look.

Yea it will need flushing through, prob strip axles and and gearbox while im at it. Does have a good 2.0ltr Perkins turbo diesel with overdrive and free wheeling hubs. Goes well on veg oil.

Needs a bit of work on chassis. I plated it a few years back just so I could use it daily but really needs cutting out and doing properly. 1 hole in bulkhead but nothing much and a door pillar. Its already rubbed down and primed. Its got 2a lights in the centre and series 3 wings but would like...

Ive been to sodbury a few times but just seen that its Malvern next sunday is it a good show and is anybody going?

After being nagged by the wife to do something with the 2a thats not been used for the last 2 years, I thought id have a look on here for some inspiration. Cant afford a new chassis so bought a mig welder (arc welder packed up). Now just waiting for the rain to sod off so I can make a start...

No she is right since I got me own business 18 months ago ive prob used it 5 times I just dont get any time. I have to see sense but its hard as I got hit off me motorbike last month an injured me leg so cant have a bike either. Both pride and joy at same time makes it harder.

Havent thought of price its 1963 series2a with a montego 2ltr turbo diesel overdrive an free wheel hubs. Rewired most of the electrics with fuse box under bonnet and one running extras like kenlow fan and all lights on the dash. Half leather recaro seats an harnesses series 2 lights an series 3...

I know you got to be brave to drive a series but im not suicidal:)

Thanks im gutted but it doesn get much use now because of work. I have to paint it as its been rubbed down ready just hope she changes her mind

Hi I havent been on for a while but I have been told my 1963 series 2a has to go im gutted. Ive put a perkings 2.0ltr turbo diesel in about 4 years ago but just realised ive not had the logbook back from dvla an its still registered as a petrol is this gonna give me probs. All the mots have got...

starter out and tested the technical term is F***ED not engaging or spinning striped it down and one of the brush holders has twisted and jammed up damaging the comm i think its a tdi starter but cant remember i will have to check with dudley engineering tomorrow. Her indoors is gonna go ape if...

Right put a power charger on battery (snap on fully charged) and.......NOTHING not even a click checked power to starter and everything ok checked earth straps still ok ...looks like starter gotta come of. not easy in the space i got with the tools at hand.

does anyone know where i can get a steering wheel boss for an early series 2 pinch bolt type wheel. bought a mountney wheel but need someone to make a boss . any volunteers

could be right rattlegun i just put it back on charge and it went from half power to perfect in about 5min.Thanks Dr evil i will borrow a power charger tomorrow and if it still wont start i will take starter off. last resort as its a montego engine and not the easiest to get at.

tried all connections but it is clicking as though there is a power fault unless there is a break in a cable. just thought it was a coincidence that i was playing with box and now wont start.
