Could it be some form of ratchet or clutch in either the speedo or gearbox as after all the speedo does not show speed when going in reverse, it may not be clearing or releasing as it should.

Hi mines a 79 and has a light green engine which i'm fairly certain is original. Will check at the weekend

Then when you tighten the lock nut you will only be able to stop the connecter from turning by holding the external thread and stand the chance of destroying the thread you need to cap it off. They need to be fairly tight to seal. As a plumber for over 40 years l have fitted a few

Sorry about that neikeel, turns out to be a very old page link plus the actual picture of item was actually for AVM hubs.

Hi google lrworkhop.com they sell seal kits for your hubs about £37. Found them from a search for selectrospares

If you are able to get a hand inside the tank say through the Fuel sender flange you could use a 15mm Brass tank connector with appropiate sealing rings and then block that off with a 15mm tapered blanking disc and compression nut. This will still provide a drain if required Screwfix part no...

It is possible to wind an adjuster so far back that it actually applies the shoe again, set them in the mid position and at their most loose position. a good tap all round the drum should hopefully release a stuck shoe. If they are adjusted that tight you are going to struggle to get the drum...

Hi you say using the shoe adjusting nut on back plate, on some brake arrangements on series 3's there are 2 adjusters per wheel ie one each shoe. I can never remember which has which. I would try and release shoes first before any hammering

Sounds like an airlock to me. Disconnect both heater hoses to the cabin heater battery and fill the system, make sure the cabin heater is turned to hot and hopefully the air will be released through these hoses. Refit both hoses after obviously.

If you cant find out the thread or get a tap you could get a suitable size countersink drill and just remove the top 2 damaged threads. You should be able to do this by hand which will give you more control. The countersink should provide a new lead in for the plug. Make sure the plug will have...

Don’t know about series 2 but on my petrol series 3 the valve goes next to thermostat the nipple at the waterway connection at rear right hand side of head. Then from valve to heater matrix to (l would say) top most connection and from other heater matrix connection to the nipple at rear of...

So far on my list then its valve seats, valves and valve guides. I only have a about 4 months a year of free time and parts can take 3 weeks to get to me. If you consider the Head to be your issue then add springs to your list to be certain. I'm sure there was a post on here way back where...

I bought a 2nd hand head to have it converted for unleaded fuel. It had obviously been run on unleaded fuel for quite a time as all the valve seats were in very poor condition. Even the inlet valve seats were pitted. Its only a thought but from your description of the condition of the carb could...

Turner Engineering list part you require for £35.00

Hi I would run a substantial earth cable from the battery to the Bulkhead and while doing this remove, clean and refit the battery earth to chassis lead

Have you tried putting a decent earth onto the sender plate, if you look on Paddock spares and search "Series 2 fuel sender unit " on the 3 units shown they all have an earth tag fitted to the sender plate. Is yours petrol or diesel. It would help to identify which sender you have as there are...

Hi l would speak to autosparks direct as they lost 2 part numbers for your vehicle and only show a picture of one. I think the other part no was LR302 same price.

Could it be part of the accelerator linkage, will check parts book later Yes its part number 577258 and fits on bulkhead holding the main cross rail

How about a strip of high density rubber say 3mm thick but only 6mm wide stuck to door bottom so that it sits under only the outside edge of door top, fit door top as normal and this should cant the door top inwards. Obviously a tapered rubber seal would be ideal but very hard to find. You could...

I have used a small pair of molegrips with a piece of leather in the jaws to protect the flexible pipe for this purpose. As said by others back off the adjusters and then use hide hammer for the drum problem.
