Landrover and DIvie, thanks for reply. I did try new cap as first fix, forgot to mention that, it is a 1974 one, can't see a by pass plate got any more info on this as a lot of it is 2a such as axle and gear box and I am still working out what is what having broken myself in on a one ten. The...

I have a pressurising or over heating problem. Top hose gets hot, top of rad gets hot, it then sprays out of rad cap. After doing a search I have replaced radiator, water pump and thermostat with new, Power washed/flushed out water channels in head and problem persists. No oil water mixing and...

Thanks, as allways excellent knowledge base and help from forum, I can now get on with it. Parts.

yes I think so. To recap the later axle has the arms on the bottom (which is my replacement) The earlier one (which is buggered and on the car) has them on the top. So I can just keep the track rod ends and drag relay that came with the second Newer axle which I am using as the...

James, can I swap about what Ive got then?

Major trauma, LOL, But not a defender axle, will need stub axle oil seal but other wise seems ok.

James, it is on the log book 1974 series 3 so can I swap the Ball joints upside down and fit it. It is the right way up and id marks on axle state series 3 when I do internet search.

I have a 1974 series 3 with bad/ dangerous steering. Ihave replaced seering drop link and ball joints and greased up relay. Slightly better now. Ihave bought a second hand series axle But I have noticed the arms the steering drag link attaches to are on the bottom of the wheel/swivel housing...

try air in brakes, had same problem, bled, fluid hitting opposite wheel. Got a syringe and some pipe and drew out loads of air --really slowly. after spending 300 quid in a garage to try and cure it-they did all you have done.

Not sure whether you have purchased an engine or are looking to. If not look at Withams Auctions this will be cheaper than paying someone to re build your engine and fit it. (buying recon 2.5 n/a engine).

Thank you James thats what Iwill do. Have to go now daughter wants computer, pallet line will want my cash, wife wants my hide.

LOL sorry its a 12j diesel I bought off an auction site and its in Lincolnshire and im in Cardiff. Done a lot of searching but cant find the weight any where and all quotes want it. Think ive found waybround it now though from a past thread.

Help please. Can any of you tell me the weight or there a bouts in commy lefty pinko metric the weight of a 12j diesel engine for a courier please?

Yes , sneaking around in the middle of night would make buying more civilised behaviour, but what gets me is it was parked in the middle of a load of mud and they scratched my wifes car bonnet climbing over that to get to mine, and then had to spanner the part off with the bonnet raised. Its the...

annoying, my sympathies are with her, and like you say "odd". My brother has suggested putting a video camera in the upstairs window with some motion activation gizmo. I might just do it.

Dear All, I live in Cardiff and someone has had the cheek to remove the wheel carrier from the bonnet of my series in the middle of the night. Nothing I can do really now but any other Landy owners in south wales cardiff area beware someone i:(s being really cheeky and possibly using peoples...

Dr. Evil no trailer attached, is that what its for? and could it be a dodgy earth then? Iknow the whole vehicle is a bloody headache at the moment.

Good call I have been messing about with the headlights today and did not think about that. I will check em out Tuesday. As long as its not warning of some other issue I may feel a bit more confident in it on a long run.

Can any one tell me what the green light on a series 3 dashboard, between the indicator lights is for please? It comes on when the indicators are on and has now started coming on, on its own! Dimly and intermittent, but is it warning of some impending failure/

Cheers for reply, I will keep scratching my chin untill I decide to leave it alone.It does not seem to make much odds, just a bit of mess.Working on a series now which has even more worries! LOL.
