Ive been having trouble for the last 12months with the crankshaft on my 300. The key that holds the crankshaft cambelt pulley on somehow became loose and has worn a groove away in the shaft. I replaced the crankshaft key and the pulley and used some liquid metal type stuff to build up the groove...

Thanks for the help, i decided to buy myself a pipe flaring and did it myself yesterday, took a bit of practice to to get the flares just right. All works fine though :D

Just had the MOT done on my 90 and it failed on the brake pipe that runs from the front to the back axle being corroded. I rang my local landy parts dealer and they don't stock them :confused: any ideas??

Just got the recon steering box. just wondering, when i fit it does it matter where I locate the drop arm on the splines? If i need to centralise it how do i do it? I havn't actually looked at it yet, just wanted to check. Thanks

Got it out by cutting in half then heating the end of the drag link, was a real bugger. Just another quick question if i get a recon steering box will they reduce the price if i give them the old one in exchange??

Its ****ing out a bit fast to keep topping it up so a recon box maybe a good idea. Thanks for the guide, should come in handy. not looking forward to removing the drop arm now though, the ball joint is proving hard enough to loosen, dont have a big enough hammer!

Just noticed that there is a leak on the steering box of my 90. Its coming out from all around where the drop arm is attached to the box. Whats the cause of this and how do I solve it??:confused: Thanks

Thanks for the help. I'll get someone who knows what they're doing on the x-member, I do a lot of towing so need to be sure its safe. Thanks again

My landy has developed a really loose steering wheel, When i turn there is a good few inches play either way before it actually turns the wheels. What can I do about this? Its up for its MOT and i was also wondering what points i should really check over before putting it through its test?? Its...

Hello, Im sure you've heard this question a few times before. I'm looking at getting a winch fitted to my 90. Other than its uses for recovery is it safe to use it for winching trees out etc?? I have to cut a lot of firewood each year and want to know if a winch on a landy could help out?

Hello, i know this isnt a daihatsu forum etc...( Before anyone says i know it wont have anything on a landy;) ) but i have a problem with a cheap one i bought as a run around. The battery isnt holding any charge (tried changing it a few times, made no differance) Ive now realised that its...

its white, which is why its such a pain. you dont happen to remember what that stuff is called do you?

well i did think that at first, but then i thought i normally get a lot of useful help on this forum so i wont question it! is there anything i can actually do? even wet n dry will bugger the paint up wont it?

thanks for the reply. do you just get the sulphuric acid out of an old battery? that only eats away at the steel sparks? and not the paint? Thanks again

hello, made a bit of a mistake, had my landy in my workshop and was doing some grinding and all the sparks when all over the bonnet and now are melted into the paint :mad:. Foolish mistake. what can i do about it now?? all the bits have metal have now rusted so i have hundreds of tiny rust...

would araldite work?

Well thats good 2 know ;). only thing is im struggling to find a decent plastic metal kinda thing, The only one ive found so far is a B&Q own one which doesn't seem too bad but I just dont trust something that only cost a few quid. I suppose its not the end of the world if it doesn't work but...

Yeah the keyway in the pulley is pretty bad also. where can i get some E-metal or something similar? I think selling it soon might not be such a bad idea :rolleyes: or perhaps Part-ex it. Thanks for the help

Heres a pic

I thought that about the welding, but as you say you'd have to be dead good, which im not. Its not gona be just your average mild steel either i suppose. You think that plastic metal things would be strong enough?? ive never really used anything like that before. The first time i took the...
