I m not sure but I don't think it's healthy to use easy start repeatedly, anyone on here know more?

Good point. I think this might have to be a garage job, I ve got horrible visions of taking it to bits and not being able to get it back together again, or else somehow ruining a perfectly good engine

I don't think this is stolen but surely it can't be tax exempt with those mods?? LANDROVER/ RANGEROVER/ SERIES 2A/ OFFROADER/4X4 | eBay

That's the next plan, I just can't see why the bio would make it smoke more

Anyone local?

I used 20 50 mineral (comma classic), reckon I might need some hands on help with this

It's home made from a mate but I know he does it all properly, we'll I haven't got the foggiest how to change the stem seals, is it a hard job?

Right, Series II 109 2.25 diesel, always smoked abit until it got warm but nothing rediculous. About 2 weeks ago I started running it on biodiesel and now every time I start it up huge plumes of blue smoke envelop the street, even if I just turn it off for ten minutes, still a smoke out...

Thanks guys, I ll give them a go and let you know how I get on, although after trying her out on biodiesel she's now smoking like a b*stard so perhaps I should look at that first

Mine already achieves 50mpg by cunningly breaking down 20 miles from home and needing a tow 30 miles to the garage:D

[I] Hi Guys, I m looking to replace the UJ's on my Series II 109 and I don't own a vice, can anyone see any problems with using a c clamp?

Fingers crossed it solves the problem, just an apparent oil pressure problem to sort at some point and I ll have a dash free of warning lights :D

I d never thought of the earths, I ll make that my tomorrow job and let you know how I get on, is it just the alternator earth?

So did the test today and battery without engine running was 12.5 without the engine running, with the engine idling over it picked up to 13 volts, with some revs applied it slowly rose to 14.4, light is on pretty much constantly now

It doesn't appear to be slipping at all, it's only seems to have that range of motion

I m not really sure to be honest, I would love to change it back to a dynamo if that were possible I m going to get a voltmeter on the battery tommorow

To add a new mystery, the drivers side wiper (separate motors) is only wiping as far as tdc of the windscreen? Is there much can be done inside the motor or is it better just to replace?

Battery and belt both seem fine and there dosnt seem to be any contamination or slippage. What would make the light brighter as the engine revs higher?

Hi guys, just bought a 1966 sII and I ve noticed a red light in the bottom left corner of the dash that gets brighter the higher the engine revs. After looking under the bonnet I found that the fan belt was loose and so I tightened it confident that this would solve the problem. As it turns...

Anybody local thats willing to assist would be GREATLY appreciated :)
