Hi Reds, Well Craddocks went and sent me a small bolt type blanking plug about ½" diameter when I specifically told them the hole was 1½" diameter at least and sent them a photo of the hole!!! I have found a pic online of some sort of blank plug in place in a similar gearbox...

Thanks for all the advice guys. I've not sorted it yet (Landy is only a weekend gardening toy so I haven't needed to rush. I emailed Paddocks to see if they supply a spare part for it. If not I will try the tin trick. I believe I am right in saying that the gearbox is not under pressure when...

I removed the tunnel on my series 3 and found that there was a hole behind the main lever that looked like it was missing a cover or cap? Can someone take a look at this photo and tell me if that is indeed the case and if so, is it easy to replace...

My LWB series 3 got stuck in a 2' boggy patch on the weekend. After trying to get it out on it's own for some time (much spinning of wheels) we got her towed out with another S3.

Hi, I have noticed a small patch of oil beneath my passenger side front wheel when parked up on my drive. It is definitely oil and not brake fluid so I'd like to know where it's leaking from. I have gaiters on the bearing housings although these are the originals by the look of them (23 year...

Many thanks for the suggestion. It seems to be the case and I have unblocked the breather and so far so good. Cheers Mark

Hi, Having just purchased a Series 3 LWB ex MOD Landy I have a small prob with one of the wheels. It appears to be leaking fluid as the vehicle moves. Is this a wheel bearing that needs changing? I'm no mechanic at all and would only undertake easy jobs so if anyone knows what this problem...
