just done my road tax. Historic vehicle, no cost - hah, screw you, mr.taxman, you'll not get £295 of my money. I win. On an entirely unrelated note, I have spent around £500 in vat on parts to keep the heap on the road.

I'd snap it up myself but thought I'd give other people a chance. 1965 (apparently), can't be many like this from that year. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Land-Rover-Series-2a-Td5-Automatic-with-Trailer-and-Generator-/192089074920?hash=item2cb966ace8:g:-cYAAOSwEzxYQALs

Can anyone identify this gasket? It's in the bottom end set, it's not coolant passage one behind the timing case. I'm pretty sure the brown one came out of this engine. Will shortly be starting to panic.

this should probably go in my reassembly thread but it's a bit of an off shoot. The t seal that came out of the motor was rubber, the new one in the playpen gasket set is cork. Do people still use cork? And is the rubber one available seperately as I can't see the part number for it?

Part one -At last the thread you've all been waiting for (probably), the rebuild of my recon 2.5 na diesel. A quick review - If you want to play along at home, first you need to spend £2000 on a recon cylinder head and 3/4 engine from ACR landrover, find no compression and the camshaft falling...

Apologies for the length and boring nature of this post but I feel the need to unload. A series2a bitsa with 2.5na motor. Last August it seemed even slower than usual and a compression test made me decide to get a recon head from (let's call them) A Company of Reconditioners of Landrover. All...

This is possibly a really stupid question but.... Whilst having problems with a reconditioned engine, the last mail that they sent to me (before they inexplicably stopped replying, probably computer problems. I expect) implied that I shouldn't go by the manual as there more modern ideas now...

Ive got a 12j where the compression seems to come and go and wondered if anyone had any idea what could cause this. Story so far... I've got a recon engine from quite a well known company. I couldn't start it and after checking various bits, found it had no compression. On removing the timing...

Putting the mainshaft back together and putting the the first gear thrust washer (576735). My washer has a plain face and the other has two groves and a bevel on the ID. The end float has been set with the grooved side facing the first gear. Now I'm putting it back together the landrover manual...

Series just passed its mot today, hooray. When I got there it was being tested again by a man from the ministry. Think this is to check the standards of the garage rather than the vehicle though. He was unamused when I asked whether it meant that it didnt need an mot for 2 years now as it...

After an impulse eBay purchase, I now possess the mounting brackets and straps for putting the pioneer tools on the tailgate of a series 2a. I can see where some go from various pictures but there are some brackets that I can't tell. Does anyone know of a diagram or/and some detail pictures...

Just about to get an upper tailgate for a hardtop 2a. Is there a special lower tailgate that is lockable and should it hinge from the side or bottom. Finally, does anyone know where there is a parts diagram of it, as i can't find it in my 2a or 3 parts books? Thanks.

Having finished reassembly after new clutch, gearbox rebuild and rear crank gubbins, I eagerly depressed the clutch pedal and put it in first. Then drove into the lawn mower. It would seem the the clutch is not lifting. There's resistance on the pedal and it seemed to bleed ok. Nearly...

Rebuilding the a series 3 gearbox and replaced first gear (genuine part used). On reassembly the gearbox would lock up whenever a gear was selected. I found this was caused by the rear syncro cone jamming on first gear so it was like first was permanently selected. If I push the cone onto...

Trying to remove the flywheel housing to replace the rear crank oil seal and it won't come off. Pretty sure all the bolts are out but does the sump need to come off. The manual seems ambiguous and I can't see why removing it would help. Anyone know?

After breaking my 3' breaker (1/2" drive) on the fly wheel mounting bolts (2.5 diesel), I wondered whether to buy a 3/4" breaker or impact gun. Ended up with a £55 240v gun (the 3/4" breaker and socket was only a couple of quid cheaper). The gun undid all the bolts in about 45 seconds...

My unused series 3 DoubleS exhaust system is on eBay with a starting price of £50. eBay - The UK's Online Marketplace It's in Somerset near Taunton.

Recently put reconditioned injectors and new diesel filter on my 2.5 NA. When trying to bleed to fuel lines it seems that the priming lever didn't do much, so i did a search on here and turned the crank nut a quarter and tried ****ing the lever again. Still nothing at the filter. After about an...

I bought a an ex-military 2a in february, i was told that it had series 3 wings put on it when demobbed in 1973 and that someone put in s series 3 dash later. It had a V5 with a manufactured date of 1962 and a historic vehicle certificate. I've not done much on it since then because of a...

Hi I used to have TD5 hicap, but sold it for a series 2a; or so i thought! I want to ask question about this but guess this is not the sub forum to do it in. Thanks
