I've got about 5mm of play on my clutch before it slips when i press the pedal in, (it doesn't bite until 3 quaters released when pulling away, high pedal) it feels like its causing a vibration almost slipping, is the clutch on its way? or 'do they all do that!'

35mph in a 30! broke my heart, traffic school! I'm selling her on but i want to keep my sat nav,

ah! now there's a point, looks like there on the original plate. was there supposed to be an extension on the ubolt bracket?

Put a new speedo cable on my s3 swb, i noticed the hole to the speedo drive on the gearbox was square but the cable was oval? it works for about 50miles then gives up, if i unscrew the cable and refit it, it works again? then gives up! have i got the right cable? (the speedo works when i put the...

I've got 2" rear spring hangers on my s3 swb but the springs looked flat, i've just put parabolic springs on, (noticed the spring hangers are sprung loaded and pull to the back), the new springs also sit flat and the spring hangers are at 45 degree angle, is this normal? the rear end skips out...

no play on A frame but it does look abit knackered, i'l try both these idea's, thanks

Read a few posts regarding rear end clunk when changing gears, have taken flanges off, they look quite new as do the half shafts, very little play or worn teeth. How much play, in and out should the half shafts have? with the circlip on (and flanges) I can push them in and out a quarter inch...

flushed the oil out, cleaned breathers and changed air filter, only a little oil in base of carrier, seems to be a lot better with little crank pressure, (cant believe i'm that lucky) engine sounds sweet, no knocks or rattles, no black or white smoke when running up motorway or around town, oil...

no water in the oil, at the weekend i'll have a good look around oil change, check breathers etc, give the girl a good service and see if i can find any probs, i think it was looked after until a few years ago when she was put on the farm! low miles, heavy loads and no services,

just bought a 1990 110 2.5 td (to put 200tdi engine in) the original engine is running well with no knocking etc, has a new mot on it,but there is a lot of smoke chuffing out the rocker and dip stick, but none out the exhaust, (less than 30miles from mot) so emissions are ok, 153000 miles on...

I've got an old 1980's ford transit 2.5 engine fitted to a series 3, 4speed box, I want to put a newer tranny engine in but dont know if a late 1990's motor will fit the old adaptor plate? anyone know? thanks,

I've got my uk registered series 3 high pursuit vehicle, here in prissac 36, its all tax'd n mot'd, n insured, will it be ok to send the forms off using my french address but with the uk log book?

I managed to clean the oil off the box, (its fresh gearbox oil) and the levels seem to be just a little low, before the rain came, (i'm in france), still cant see where its coming from, only had a slight leak before they did the oil changes, well at least the chassis wont rust!

1982 series 3, Just got back from a long run and discovered oil all over the gearbox and down to my rear axel, (no knocking or clunking) i'm gona have a cuppa then put me overalls on and investigate and check the levels. Any links here or ideas where to start looking! Oil seals or gaskets? she...

Why would a pre 73 vehicle be on a plg, how long ago did they change the tax exempt rule,

Got a 2.5 tranny in my 88 series 3, engine screaming at 55mph, any quick fix diffs i can put in? or would an overdrive kit cure it? I still want to off road 4x4 etc,

I am looking for a series 2/3 tax exempt chassis/project, I have been offered a couple but the v5 says plg not historic vehicle, i've been told once the project is mot'd the v5 can be changed when taxed at the dvla office? I dont want to pay extra cash for a tax exempt project only to find I...

I'm not sure what year and model the engine is, it has pretty good accelaration but 55mph sounds like a stukker and she's going to blow, its got 7.5x16 tyres. i'm still a landy rookie, theres miles of forum stuff regarding engines and gearing i'm just going to have to drink a gallon of coffee...

Found sometime to search and discovered the engine conversions on the forum, lots to read, I'll be back later with more questions........ I expect!

I've seen a few 200tdi disco mot failures going cheap,are there any years or models i need to avoid? I have a master welder i can rely on to change the mounts, the trany engine seems to be screaming at 50mph, is this due to gearing? would i get the same with 200tdi or is it a lower revving engine,
