    Steering Box

    Good evening all. So I finished rebuilding my steering box this weekend and doing so has raised two points.... Am I right in thinking that there is nothing stopping oil pi55ing out of the unit past the upper bearing (admittedly it should never be able to do this because gravity will always be...

    Series 3 steering box oil specification

    Good afternoon all, I've scoured the threads on LZ but I can't find anything about the type and amount of oil you need to put in a series 3 steering box after you've rebuilt it. Also, I've greased the bearings with a standard Castrol bearing grease but I was a bit concerned this might react...

I think I'm going to go with Pastel Green and I have looked at a couple of suppliers, namely The Paint Man and Paddocks (HMG paints). I'm planning on spraying the...

    Landy Rear Hub Identification

    Hello all, I have scoured both the series 2A and series 3 part catalogues trying to find out what vehicle the hubs on my landy originally belonged to (so that I order the correct bearings, hub flanges and hub flange bolts for their rebuild) but so far I have drawn a blank. Visually looking at...

    Engine identification

    Hi guys, so I was hoping someone could shed some light on my engine. The whole thing is painted a kind of mint green, and on the rocker cover there is some text which looks a bit like "reserved". I think this may be out of a military landy but it would be ace to get some pics of what it should...

    Hi guys, in trying to figure out what year the bulkhead is on my series Landy. I've looked in all my books and on tinternet but I can't find reference to one that has a rain gulley all the way across it (where the bonnet meets the bulkhead when it's closed - please see pic attached). Any ideas...

    What on earth is this?

    On my Landy there is a small key operated electrical switch on the driver's side bodywork just next to the filler cap (if I can figure out how to put a picture in a post I'll add one). Any ideas? Cheers. Olly

    The Doors?

    Unfortunately not the band but the doors on my Landy. I'm thinking of buying a pair of brand new doors (£140 eBay) but I'm not sure if my doors are series 2a or series 3 items. They are held on with series 3 brackets but if anyone can shed any light on the differences between the two doors that...

    Hello all!

    Just a quick hello to introduce myself and my landrover. I'm Olly and I'm an engineer living near Witney and my Landy is a bit of a triggers broom of a vehicle. I got her for my birthday a couple of years ago and what started out as a rear wheel bearing replacement has resulted in her being...
