series 3 109 was my first car, sadly I can't drive it regularly because of the ever rising price of fuel, but its a great way to learn to drive, you get a really good grip on gear shifting lol

in my opinion (and I could be wrong) its either timing, or fuel delivery.

:D got my spanners and sockets out today and tackled the pinion seal got the old metal one out with only minimal difficulty, (did bend it badly though but its rubbish anyway) cleaned everything with wax and grease remover, wiped a thin layer of fresh grease on everything, packed the seal...

mine had a steering damper fitted when I got it, but the bushes where gone so it didn't really work, all it did was clonk and rattle replaced the bushes, and its quieter but can't say i really noticed a difference in handling

landys might not be the best when the road is good, but when the cars can't hack the water, mud etc they certainly come into their own :D

very little, if any differences, especially if they are both 3 bearing engines

first I tinted the back windows of my landy because people in NZ are just so friggin nosy. then yesterday I was looking at the wheels and the paint had peeled badly and they where rusting, I cleaned them all up and then realised the only paint I had was black stuff :eek: since I had no...

I have a later series 3, it has a bracket at the rear lower corner of the doorframe already, and a bracket above the shoulder. I have some intertia belts ready to go in, just not sure how the inertia unit sits.

cheers, now to get that piece of metal out

hmm, well at least I havn't actually wrecked anything. by the way which way should the new seal face?

I have a later diff. I am thinking that the part on the right side (with the arrow pointing at it) is stuck inside the diff casing. if that is the cast I have no idea how to remove it, its so firmly wedged that I became convinced it was part of the diff casing LOL

its a metal flange, about 1mm down from the diff housing. had some metal washers, a corrugated spring thing and some leather bits that where broken. so is this what the seal should mate against, or is this stuff supposed to come out? what was left of the old seal was leather

well actually it still works (sort of) decided to put that new pinion seal in today. searched on here and read up on it in the Haynes manual. lots of people said its an easy job so I grabbed a few spanners and had a go. everything was going well until I got to the "seal" I tried to pry it out...

if you are in the north island then these guys are best (landroverparts) just give them a ring and ask for what you need. they usually deliver the stuff by the next morning. and their prices are better than BJ Autos sometimes south island then go with BJ Autos BJ Autos 4WD specialists...

so from what I gather there is power getting to the coil there is no spark coming out of the coil the condensor, points etc have been checked/replaced I would be checking the coil, and the lead. not much else I can think of, although having said that my dad had a Valiant 225 which was...

mine was not working at all, was fluctuating as you described, I bought a new cable and it made no difference I dismantled the head and found that the little steel dish which is attached to the needle was rubbing. hard to describe but because it rubbed it would stop moving, then jump as it...

how much lighter than a series 3 109 is the lightweight though? :D *edit after a bit of searching* http://www.lr-mad.co.uk/index.php/en/lightweight heavier than a standard 88" and narrower

Yours is a 4 door landy, so it's not behind the drivers seat. Try behind the rear seats instead maybe?

ah. might not bother then the current gearing does the job one other question, the right rear axle seems to be leaking on the end. i filled it with oil recently and noticed it had sprayed all over the outside of the wheel and tire and the outside of the vehicle too. which seal should I be...

you have a 4 door landy? :eek: its probably different in that case, a 2door one has a bulkhead directly behind the drivers seat, this one doesn't.
