Hi All,

Just bought another project, c reg 90. I was amazed that after 2 years of sitting around it passed the MOT first time. However it wont stay in high ratio, you can drive for 1/4 mile and it pops out . It will stay in low ratio fine.
Any ideas??
Thanks in advance

either linkage needs checking/adjusting you can remove gate plate on top of lever housing to check (allows more lever movement )or dog teeth on high gear worn badly

might be as simple as the lever fouling on the tunnel or something or if its a posh Landy fouling on carpet or sound deadening.

Cheers Steve

Check the linkage, unfortunately you'll have to lift up the floor panels etc to get a good view.
If the landy has been used off road, and the hi-lo has been used ham-fisted, there is a part of the linkage that's made to *give*, it's one of the jaw ends and it's made up of a pressed steel affair.
This is the part, it folds up if the linkage is abused, so you finish up loosing either high range or low range.
Where it's fastened to the bar with 2 nuts, you can adjust the length of the linkage, this will then *adjust* where the gear stick moves, so if it's hitting the side of the opening in the top of the tunnel, you need to adjust the length so that it doesn't.
Where the pin goes through to connect it to the lever, there are small plastic bushes in the jaw end, these wear/ fall out etc, and are a pain to get in (I stuck mine in with a dab of superglue to hold them in whilst trying to get the jaw end over the lever.

thats the point of removing gate plate first to ascertain its linkage before stripping floor out
