Hi everyone, I 'be had my series 2a for a couple of years. It was mot'ed with a new clutch by a mate but he couldn't get it running right. I just can't find anyone who knows how to properly set up the 2.25 petrol engine. The engine has a recon carb (solex) new leads plugs etc in the last year so...

hello all, just put a reconditioned solex carb onto my series 2a 2.25 petrol engine. for some reason it does not seem to come with the bit to put the vacum hose into, I am presuming the problems I am having are because of this i.e. I can get it ticking over nicely etc but try taking it on a run...

At the moment I am doing this :doh::doh::doh: My 2a is running a solex carb it looked a bit knackered with quiet a bit of silocone sealant around gasket areas so i thought I'd replace it and on advice ordered a weber. In the mean time I actually did some research :rolleyes: now I'm starting to...

hello all, I need a new exhaust for my series 2a, m and m 4x4 are just down the road from me and do the full kit for about £60 quid but after several weekends getting dirty and no time I wanted to get it fitted by a garage trouble is M and M's say it might be 40 quid could be more depending on...

I've got two sets of seats for my 2a, one set are totally flat on the seat backs and the others have raised side supports. Can anyone tell me if both where available in 65 when mine was built or if not which where original I presume the flat backed ones.

Not sure if anyone can help with this mess but all advice would be appreciated. On saturday at about 3 I had a working land rover, but 5 I did not, and it was all my own doing. I decided to change the distributor and fit an electronic ignition thingy, rather than points, so I now have to redo...

Just picked up a series 2a '65 petrol. Started, ran, travelled 40 miles home with the lights on. As I pulled up it cut out and then nothing from the battery. Jumped it and it started no problem. Check battery with volt metre 12v, but no power to even attempt turn over, jumped it and volts went...

hello, sorry for the 'urgent' question but I'm picking a new landrover up tomorrow (series 2a 1965) it's got lpg and petrol engine. I've just started to worry because I need to drive it 50 miles or so back home and the guy I'm buying it from got it in part exchange and doesn't know if it has an...

still trying to get my 2a brakes and clutch going after it's been stood for a couple of years. Now I am no expert with any of this and have tried searching so go easy:D Yesterday (oh yes in the cold old snow) I replaced both the clutch and brake slave cylinders, I then pumped the brake peddle...

I am about to start the restoration of a series 2a landrover. I know it needs lots of chassis work but whilst I am there it's best to do other jobs if they are needed. So here is the problem both the break and clutch pedal just go flat to the floor, the engine runs but I can't think how to test...

could anyone advise me about these little blighters. On my new series 2a the swivel hubs are corroded and seem only to have a bit of plating left on them, do they have to be replaced or would one shot grease do any good? If they must be replaced would it be easier to buy a second hand axle...

I have just brought a series 2a truck cab 1967 (you might have seen it on ebay last week) I've been having a good look over it today and even though it's been stood two years the engine ran, no break or clutch though so new slave cylinders I think. I have decided to do a proper job and strip the...

Just got, but not picked up yet a series landrover. It's registered as 1968 with plate to match but everything points to the fact it's a series 3: lights on the outside, air intake on the side of the wing, square door hinges and series 3 dash. Can anyone tell me why this would be? I assume it's...

hello, I chopped in my discover a few months ago but landrover fever has come back upon me in the form of a 2a and now the fun starts.:D I've brought her as a non runner, the chassis has all been welded up and an ex mod diesel engine has been fitted in place of the old petrol one. It is a 1968...

just on the off change that anyone is offered these... I brought 6 new (to me) alloys and tyres from ebay and went to fit them this morning outside my house in worcester. I was rung and asked to go into work by my boss so I left the old alloys and two new ones on the drive. When i came back two...

I have searched this but with no joy. My 300tdi p reg normally runs perfectly with the abs light going out after 5metres or so of motion. Sometimes i.e. one time in 10 or 20 it fails to go out so I stop, set and unset the alarm and move off again, it has always gone out when I do this, any ideas?:D

I've had my discovery about 3 weeks. It's a 300tdi ES I got it from a small dealer, about 100 miles from my home. To cut a long story short I have encountered quite a few problems, the truck has needed two new auto box cooler pipes, discs and pads all round as well as second hand callipers (as...

Last week I replaced the cooling pipe that runs from my auto gearbox (300tdi) to the cooler. whilst fitting it I decided to clean the other pipe which promptly sprang a leak! I ordered the new pipe but the one I had already replaced arrived. I rang the supplier who investiated and said landrover...
