Hi gpovanman Yes you'r right about the hand brake having its own drum, it was dripping around that, but the oil was coming from the transmission and contaminating the hand brake. I got it fixed and had the rest of the brakes looked at, which was just as well has a lot of the brakes had been...

Thanks for the comments "Struy" Teflon started all this off with his poem, and the question "why a Series Landrover etc. I think he knew the answers already. I mentioned in my bit about the garage owner who opened up just for me and give me good advise as well as a good deal. I've been back...

Hi Giles I came across this and I think it is what Ned was on about. Anyhow let everyone know the outcome and good luck with the brakes. There's loads of info on the web, and some of the guys in the forum have great, inforative sites. I have been using a easy and clean way of bleeding the...

Hi ladadog Sound Series 2a or 3s are not that hard to come by, and with the skills and equipment you say you have, you should not have any trouble finding one with a decent chasis and bulkhead. That way your money will go a bit further. Most parts are resonable and the nets full of information...

Hi TJL Good luck with your gearbox problem, has for your manual try this site or the links from it. www.ozedeph.com/links/manuals If not there just trawl the net there's loads of series stuff out there. Good luck

Stand corrected 'cruisermik', hope you are o.k.

2 Weeks ago I serviced my brakes, also Series11a, I have only had it a short time. What should have been simple turned into a nightmare. We ended up adjusting each drum in turn, until it felt O.K. sounds easy enough but we got one fixed and another would go, bled them all and adjusted each one...

Enjoyed the poem Teflon, But back to your question, Why a series land rover? Well my answer to that is this. Saturday morning I was awoken by my son at 7.30 to say that my wind screen had been smashed. This is the first Land Rover I have had, and I have only had it about a month but all the...

Thanks for the advice Teflon, I've looked your site up and was very impressed with what I saw. In fact I've added it to my favourites. I was begining to think I was not going to get a reply, I realised when I asked for advise that I would need to start from the basics. I used to get called...

Thanks again for the advise Cuisermik, got the hand-brake checked this weekend and you are right, the oil seal needs replacing and the shoes, which were on the way out anyhow. I'm sure the other 2 members you mentioned will be able to help with other problems I encounter. This is my first Land...

Thanks for the advice cruisermik, I think you could be right about the trans oil, the hand brake dose have it's own drum. Thanks for your time.

Hi Everyone My Series 11a is not holding on the Hand Brake, when I looked under I could see that oil was dripping from the drum. I think that a seal or a gasket must have gone. Would I be right? and if so is it to be expected? Thanks for reading this, and any comments are welcome.

Hi! Thanks for the welcome. Just tried a bit of green laning, and its stunning. Trouble is with my belly it dos'nt stop wobblling until half an hour after I get home. Live in the Northwest accywingy and I've found one or two green lanes. Will pass these on to you privatly if you want.
