Thanks yes. Agree, ill have a go tomorrow afternoon and see.if i can drive a tappered drift through to raise the paul, if i can do that ill make a tubular tapered tool with a split in to feed through in front if the cable shaft to get it back...
There is a mechanical lock that prevents the pull going back in until the key is turned to the on position. Perhaps because it came out to far [ location screw lost perhaps] the lock pawl is now in the way for the pull shaft to go back in. I...
I've just had the whole thing out and it seems the hook had rotated somehow and so could pop out, I've turned it through 180 and it seems to fit snugly ...I've also squeezed the sides of the handle in the vice so hopefully it'll hold against it a...
The cross bolt of the link plate may need tightening.
Hook on link rod may need a tweek so it holds better.
Side plates of lever may need a little squeeze to prevent rod hook escape.
Button only rotates if hook has come out or its threads to rod...
ALLO ALLO, I will say this one more time.
You are trying like many before you to get an old at least 40 years gauge along with its equally old wiring and regulator to be accurate. If it does happen it will be just pot luck and will not last as...
Getting door card off while shut is nigh impossible with out serious damage to it.
Neither inner or outer handle will release I guess?
Try holding up the lock button while working handle's. I button does not want to come up release it again...
What Marjon means is with the rockers fitted and no cambelt, if/when you rotate the engine to line up the timing marks any open valves could make contact with the pistons.
So safest to remove rocker gear then fit belt etc.
This why when engine...
D box reverse idler got a bearing instead of a bush.
Tidy idiot guide to the LT76 on LRUK forum. [ not saying you are an idiot, just what it is called.]
Which bushes did you use in the end?
Yes brute force is the answer, on the upside along as you greased all the bolts it will come apart easy enough next time.
All sorted. Replaced the a frame bushes, bolts, and the rear fulcrum. I have come to learn that heat, angle grinders, and more force than you think are required.
All good fun!
Some of their kit is excellent. The CVs that the coil sprung lot use are the best in the market. There's a few other examples out there. Most of their stuff is meh. And there's far too much crap as well.
Infuriating, to be honest as a tiny bit...
Intermittent is how mine was for a while so I had the under bonnet lash up and then the jumper until I sorted it.
Some other relay behind the main group would click when testing mine [1990 19j]
No glow plug relay on pre Defender model diesels...
Re my post above, when trying to sort my starting issue I made up a little jumper cable and plugged one end into the brown live feed [ at relay position] and touched the other end on the white/red to solenoid. Started every time.
Connected small...
OK, thanks guys. Good to hear that the 12v thin wire is doing its job.
The engine is earthed directly to the battery neg terminal which is earthed to the side of the radiator casing. None of this has changed since the battery was getting a...
And the boost fail could be from something as simple as a pipe that has split or come off. Whooshing noise points to this, had it happen on a car once and power was gone.
Well, nice pics, could be anything but you have forgotten to tell us what vehicle year / type you have and what if any non standard extras fitted that may need the extra cable.
Yep, hate those electric handbrakes. I said that to the salesman when we test drove the wife's Zafira.
He said, after a while you will never want to go back to manual handbrake.
Well, I hate them even more now ! Especially since Mrs borrowed...
Hi all sorry for the delayed response and thank you for the words of wisdom.
Yes the transfer box has been leaking as i top it up every year with about 0.5 litre of oil.
However after taking the advice i jacked up and spun the rear wheels, and...
