injectors and injector pump were did together at the same shop. Should be good!

Running 20/40 Fully syn hahhaha, still trying to get hold of mineral. So its just the engine bedding in? Should I play with the timing? Thinking of pushing it up/down a gear on the injector pump. Fuel figures are currently 6.6km per liter, or about 15.6miles per gallon. It used to be close to...

Hi guys, Been fiddling with the series all day about the fuel consumption. Vehicle is a 2.25D 109 s3. Before the engine rebuild, it could go 400+ KM on a full tank of diesel(underseat tank, 45liters). After the engine rebuild, it could only get 300km tops. For the rebuild, the pistons were...

I could prolly do the chain replacement myself.will take awhile though.@nickjaxe you are saying the fuel disrtributor could be a tooth out?but how will I know if it is after taking it out?it had been on maximum advance since te day I got te truck a year ago

hi guys my 2.25 diesel has been smoking and losing power.i have tracked it down to incorrect injector timing.however,my fuel distributor has already been turned all the way clockwise (maximum advance).how else can I set the timing right? thanks!

hi guys im running a 2.25 diesel 2a.have finally decided to solve the white smoke while driving ( been there since i bought the truck).i have concluded that my timing is off since im not leaking any coolant/lubricants.took my injectors to service last week(135ATM).smoking abit lesser now but i...

hi guys i recently changed the wiper motor on my 2a. Discovered that the motor will stop working after 5mins of constant usage(fuse did not blow). The wiper will continue to function after around 10mins of letting it cool off. The wiper wipes at an average pace hence i conclude the fault to be...

at this point can we rule out a faulty starter motor? so its just the wirings?

@fanatic tried =(

i also tried to connect the contact points on the starter solenoid like how i would start the truck without a key(have done this many times).this time round there were no sparks/nothing happened/truck still wont start

hi guys i have a 1972 series 2a diesel. ytd i tried to crank the car but there was no sound at all.not even the 'tak tak' sound the a faulty starter solenoid wil make. battery is okay as all the lights and horns work. i have taken apart the solenoid and cleaned the contact points inside but the...

thanks for the responses! mine doesnt have od and is mostly orginal.hmm seems like the engine is holding up well.not sure what the prev owners has done to it.when the s2a came out of the factory the rated top speed was 50mph right?

hi peeps just would like to know the top speed of your rigs out of curiosity.on a original engine of course.my 1972 2a peaks at 80km/h.

hi guys i was just wondering it its possible to pour cooking oil/olive oil/peanut oil into the fuel tank and run it with that?would be really cool.just for the sake of coolness ***

i have never touched the preload shims before. should i try removing some of it?

always had it.it's a 1972 2a.steering is smooth when both wheels are off the ground.I don't think it's oil related cos it's totally smooth when turning left.maybe I sld just leave it as it is hahaha

hi guys my series 2a is alot harder to right than left.there are no sounds whatsoever eveything seems fine other than the fact that alot more strength is required to turn left.no power steering.what could the problem be ?

haha guys both the starter and battery works.would just like to be able to hand crank for fun!i will be going to gym and will try again 5 years ltr =D. anyway i found the owners manual http://www.retroanaconda.com/landrover/manuals/2a_owners_manual.pdf on page 107 it says "engine will not crank...

hi guys i tried to handcrank my 1972 2a diesel but found that it was too hard to move the crank fast enough to start the engine. did some research and found that it is close to impossible to be done.i know that it will be possible if we attach a decompression mechanism to the engine to relieve...

hi guys how do I bleed air out of the engine when I experience a diesel air lock?due to having no diesel as fuel gauge isn't accurate .cheers!
