Hi all, might be a stupid question, but as a newbie to diesel series Landy's, How do you stop the engine if there's a problem with stop cable ( if snapped or come loose ), is it as simple as put something over air intake to starve engine ?
Think this will be useful for other newbies.

Thanks

Drop the clutch in 3d and stall it
Or operate the stop manually at the other end of the cable

^^ this one. the cable just operates a lever on the side of the injector pump. just move this by hand.

Yep, thanks, the dash where the stop cable fits has been cracked/broken & bodged by previous owners.
Good to know there's a few options if it goes, will get replacement in time, but getting it on the road cost more than I'd budgeted. .

The ignition barrel with the cable ‘holder’ is no longer made. Hope it’s not this that’s caput. I had a horrible time butchering one together after the scrotes smashed my barrel to nick the thing.

That supplier in Cyprus that has all the MOD gear was charging £800 for one

Yep, that bits fine thankfully, it's where it tightens into the plastic, previous owner's over tightened everything in dash & plastic has cracked everywhere, had to use 2 molegrips to undo most, ( back bit involved a lot swearing, shouting, & bloodied knuckles )

£800

At that price I would be fitting a standard ignition barrel and using a tractor stop cable into the dash!
