ok, left it overnight, now won't go into gear (unless you sync the revs and bump it in).... pedal all the way to the floor still. I thinking along the lines of what Europa said, dodgy master/slave... will have to strip it down and have a looksie. Clutch oil is still at the same level when take...

Howdy Folks Bertie (SIII, 88") has been sitting outside for over not really moved much due to family issues then covid mess. Jumped in today to try and get it going again.... got her started, went to put into gear, clutch all the way to floor and not coming back up again. Can engage gears but...

Thanks for your input guys... just had a butchers at it... and now feels like I won the lottory. Short shaft is spinning on the drive member :) Think I'll change both sides and drive members....

Thank you for the quick reply and detailed pictures. Both my rear wheels are turning by hand, without the propshaft even trying to move. Have it in 2wd with handbrake on and wheels chocked. Lifted one side at a time. something to do with rear diff ??

Hi Folks Any clues on this one.... driving along normally, loud clunk then lost drive (in 2wd) propshaft and wheels stopped getting drive. Works ok if I engage 4WD (hi or low) but I think it's only driving the front wheels. Put it back in 2WD no movement.... What have I broked this time ...

Lancaster have got it back down to normal levels... YAY!! Shame on Footman James. :(

Hi Folks Who's the best to go to for classic car insurance now ?? after 7 years with Footman James the renewal quote is silly £££ and nothing has changed. On enquiring further through their helplines it is due to them only using one end provider or something :-/ Anyone got insurance for sub...

Mine had the same issue... had it in the garage to sniff check and pressure check. Turned out to be the water pump, it was leaking and allowing air in... Initially presented as steam and no water in expansion. On refilling and running expansion tank over pressuring and throwing water out the...

Thanks Fella's, I have jacked the back of the landy up and checked the wheels between rain and snow. I think your correct about the wheel bearing colapse on the offside rear the wheel is wobbly as jelly and brakes are binding slightly. I think your correct about it not being the half shaft...

Hi Folks Landy spat his dummy today. Driving home from work about 40ish mph went round slow left corner... grinding, grinding, crunch, bang from the rear offside (I think). Managed to limp home but deffo not driving right now. Feels loose and is wanting to crab around corners. Any clues on...

Hi Folks I have been insuring me landy through Footman James for years and years... At renewal time - the latest sting in the tail is that they can no longer offer insurance with the ability to drive other cars third party.... Phoned them up to see how much it would be to add it on to be...

Hi Folks After a long day towing my fishing boat me landy got upset :( If I press the clutch it doesnt go all the way down, gear changes still work tho it's biting higher. When the clutch is pressed in there is a dry whirring noise... it disappears when in gear and clutch depressed. Is the...

Hi Folks Can someone tell me what bulb to get to replace the charge light (the red one in the water/fuel gauge side) and how its fitted - push/clip/twist ?? I think its a steering wheel off job. I think the bulb is blown because; * doesn't come on when ignition switched on * if I remove the...

Hi Folks Just a quick follow up, turned out to be master cylinder as suspected. Replaced it with an oem part. With the old one on the table, I can see that the pushrod doesn't return fully extended, also took the opportunity to replace the flexi pipes, tho the old ones look sound. So great...

Hi Folks Just had an interesting experience... Thought the brakes were binding on a drive... landy was braking by its self and the drums getting hot... could hear them squeeling slightly Pulled over... everything locked up tight. Brake pedal didn't budge, it was solid stuck at the top and...
