Hi Guys, Sadly I’m looking to have to sell my 2a. I had a valuation from a local Land Rover specialist that recently did a full service and safety check for me. That was however back in July/August. So I’m wondering how much it may have changed over the past half year or so considering how...

Hi guys and gals Tried taking my 2a out but the clutch pedal won’t return. So I ordered replacement springs from craddocks. Their 2a clutch return springs. still won’t return and the springs feel less powerful than the old one so I figure it’s not a spring issue. any advice?

Hi All, My series has only got water in it at present. So went out and bought some coolant a little while back. Just want to confirm the process step by step. Remove drain plug from rad Remove plug from engine block let drain put both plugs back in fill with water run for a few mins...

Hi Guys, Noticed some serious cracking in the sidewall of my tyres on the series, treads are great but sidewall cracking is a big no i thought. It's currently got 205r16 104s on it and i'm aware that that's not factory but works. Couple of questions if I may. 1) Does anybody know of a decent...

Okay so i'm sure i'm just being paranoid here, however having read that the wrong coolant can bugger up the lead solder joints in the 2.25 engine, i'd just like to be 100% sure before i drain and refill my radiator. I've got some Xstream G48 that says it contains Ethylene Glycol. Guessing it's...

Hi All, Long time no post, I hope everyone is doing well and looking after themselves. due to the old coronavirus i've been living away from home with my gfs family. I've got my series 2a there now and unfortunately a few weeks back when we were going down a hill the fan belt snapped, it...

Hey guys, My handbrake is almost impossible to put on, any ideas what i should look for and how i should go about it? Thinking i'll just drive it home tomorrow and chock it until it's sorted. Cheers.

Hi All, Just had my series 2a petrol 2.25 serviced. Only had 5L of oil at the time, after doing that it seemed a little under half full according to the dipstick. I just added another 4L. However i have a feeling that seems excessive, it kept taking it though. So a total of 9L. Have i put...

Hi all Advice is appreciated! Item 1) Took the series out for a blast over the seafront, had a few lurches when I got up to about 25mph in 3rd. Kept driving and at a junction she cut out on me. Started up again perfectly. I got it home with a few more lurches. I’ve got it running in the...

can someone give me an idea on both difficulty and cost of converting my series to have an alternator? I want more reliable battery charge and the old dynamo just isn’t cutting it. I want to be able to not have to worry so much.

Not sure if this has been posted here before. However I came across this...

hi all I was on my way to setting up for emsworth country fete today. Got to my nans to load up the plants. Her partner noticed a rough idle on my landy and sorted it for me (fuel mix). Stopped and started it a few times, got everything going. Got halfway down her driveway and my dad in...

Evening chaps, So my series 2a was in the service of the MOD from 1968-1973. It’s right hand drive, petrol and has the headlamps in the wings. I understand that the headlamps moved to the wings for export models in 1968 and domestic models in 1969, so I assumed it was an export to the MOD...

hi all The other day I wanted to see if my FWH were jammed or not so turned them each way with the engine off just to free them up a bit. I put them back where they were when I found it. All the way anti clockwise. Question. Before I set out today, do I need to do anything else? Like select...

hi all, I’ve just finished cleaning, fibreglass filling and sanding my bulkhead vents. Now for a question. The rubber seal is somewhat of a trapezoid, which way in does it go for the best seal? Largest surface in or out? Cheers :)

So, at the moment i can only start the series on a crank handle as the key isn't doing anything in the ignition. It's fine it works and fires on the first turn. Yesterday i did some poking about to try and resolve the not starting issue, all i did was remove the wires from the battery to the...

Hey All, Does anyone know of a specific steering wheel lock that's good for series 2a landys? I ask because there isn't really much for a steering wheel lock to come in contact with and therefore function as intended. What's everyone using? Ideally on amazon? Cheers

I’m aware that the year that the headlamps moved into the wings on the 2a was 1968, however I seem to be getting conflicting info. Some places I see 1968 everywhere, some 1968 only on export and 1969 domestic. My landy is a 1968 with the headlamps in the wings. The only thing I can think is...

Hi Can anyone identify this item? I finally opened the box that TPO gave me along with the landy in 2017. Two of these in britpart boxes without part numbers. Cheers Will

Hi all. I’ve got an issue with my series. Currently I cannot use the key to start the car, it’s completely non responsive. I do however get electrics still. So at the moment I’m starting on the handle or using my newly fitted starter via the button on the bottom of the starter solenoid...
