Sorry. 1974 2.25L petrol

Hi all, driving my series yesterday and all's well, then just I was coming home the engine lost some power and started shaking, juddering quite badly. Checked oil and it was low so topped up this morn and still the same. A lot of shaking, i dont want to drive it like this, even to the mechanic...

Think I'll give it a try. Not too bothered if not perfect, still want it to look 40 years old and I like the matt alloy grey thinking on it, rather than the shiny polished version. I'll pop some pics on once I've done a portion

Great thanks. Assuming there isn't any law for having a mirror type finish! Was just thinking of the sun bouncing off and blinding other drivers. May have a go on a panel on wknd

Has anyone striped back their landy and left her alloy for the finish? Was wondering if it'd look great or unfinished! Plus would I have to put a clear lacker on to stop too much corrosion? Cheers all

Cleaned carb and jets with compressed air and now working a treat. Cheers

Hi all, hope someone can tell me this is an easy fix!! On way to customer this aft and series 3 started juddering, getting worse the further I went. Thought it was the air filter hose on top of carb as it does come loose from time to time. Stopped to have a look and as soon as I took foot of...

Hi all, My 1974 series 111 has started to judder of late! Almost like a misfire. It started off as a little judder every now and again, but today it was a nightmare to get home! constant juddering like it was out of petrol. seem ok when I'm coasting but when I press accelerator its very...

Is there any way to test without taking starter out? Seems a pig to get to!

Morning all, My 1974 series 111 2.25 petrol will not start :confused: Batteries pretty new and working fine, lights are strong and blowers working, so not that. When I turn key there is a click and sometimes a wizz/whearl, but usually just a click. Wondering if its the Ignition Coil...

Morning all, Started my 1974 series this morn and noticed the temperature gauge moved right up into the red within seconds, before i'd even moved!! As the engine had just started from cold, it can't be reading the temp properly. It has always stayed in the "normal" range. And if the...

I've just got a passenger inertia belt for my 1974 series III & a hard top corner bracket from paddock spares. And unless I'm being really thick, I can't seem to fit the bloody thing! Think I have the corner bracket in the right place and have the belt reel attached but that's about as far as...

Cheers Dom, Ordered a CCA630/Ah75 battery this aft.

Charge light comes on when ignition on and engine off. Goes out when driving alone, but comes on when I stop at a junction. Doesn't come on when lights or heater are on. I did put the battery on a charger all night, over 12 hours, and have just connected it back up and nothing. The charge...

Did notice the cable coming from the battery negative to earth is covered in oil! when I twist the cable oil seeps out! does this matter, would this bugger up the earthing?

Hi guys, my 1974 series III isn't holding it's charge. Went to start her the other day and nothing. Used jump leads and it started right away. Went for a long drive to charge up and then left for a few days, went to start her this morn and dead! never happened before, used to leave for...

Seems to have worked! Not exactly HOT but luke warm. Thanks for the help

I'll go and turn the cog anti-clockwise now and go for a cruise, if that's possible in a dranner, and see what happens!

Has one of these heater control valves I've now found!! Must have replaced the one you guys were describing. Do I just turn this anti-clockwise for some heat, or is that a stupid thing to do?!? 88G588L HEATER CONTROL TAP VALVE | Military: Engine: Cooling | shop | www.lrseries.com | L. R. Series

I don't seem to have a heater valve on the front of the engine or any lever that I could turn. Any diagrams/links to hand??
