Would it be the bias plate? It rakio bush you think? I’m only spitballing as I am not sure.

It can be stiff in first and second at times and sometimes it is no problem. I will have to see in a bit when I set off home but typically stiff in first and second and fine through the others.

Cheers I will check a price out for a new stalk and see how it goes.

Hello all, Before I take it to my local grease monkey and pay out a small fortune would anyone have any ideas as to why my first and second gear may be stiff. My Clutch pedal is a little spongy and in my opinion too soft, so would reverse bleeding the line to see if there is air in it be...

Been a while since I have been able to get on here but I have tried the above to see what happens. If I put the fast wiper on first it typically works straight away and then as I switch back each one works most of the time. Sometimes the slow and intermittent are delayed to start but get there...

Brilliant, I will try this in a bit and see where it gets me.

Hello all, Hope the new lockdown isn't affecting you all too much. I have an intermittent wiper issue where when I turn it on t doesn't immediately kick in. Sometimes it takes 30 or so seconds to start moving, sometimes longer sometimes its straight away. Would this be a relay issue or...

Not worries bud, 2 months ago you would of been as I was living in Walsall.

Thank you. I have disconnected it, cleaned the terminals and refitted and it seems to be working again. So I will hold off replacing till it goes again. I will look at my settings. I could do with a lot of help on this Beaty as it’s starting to fall apart . Leaks from places I don’t know, among...

It looks like it’s sealed from above the gearbox so no evident way in from the inside. Not quite like a defender. I’ll look into lifting the one side up.

Hello all. Hope the weekend is treating you well. My rever light is not working. I’m assuming it’s the switch as my rear lights all work. Now does anyone have any advise as to how to get to the blighter. I can’t raise the thing up to be able to stand under to get at it and on my back I can get...

I will do, just want to get on and get it back to a good standard. It has been rather neglected before I got hold of it. Many things need doing. Luckily I didn’t pay the earth for it and actually was quite cheap due to being family owned.

That’s what I’m after. I would mind doing a stage 1 on it but I’ll give a full service check injectors maybe clean them out

I it turns over, but doesn’t start on the first time doing it. No dash issues and I’ve put a new battery in so I know that’s fine. I’m just seeing if there are any tune ups to it that will make starting more easy going than sounding like a OAP coughing before it does start. If it’s how the...

It isn’t the best at starting straight away sometime two or three turns of the key. Also even when on cold the heater blows warm only in the drivers footwell. It has a few quirks that I am Finding. Only had it a month and I want to Get done what I can by the winter.

Hi there all you landy lovers, I am wondering what I can do in the engine to help improve its performance, starting and reliability. Any help would be greatly appreciated

That would be ace, I currently don’t have it at the moment as on a nice jaunt to wales Sunday the rear drive shaft decided to fall off so that was fun. But if you have any pics then please send them as it would be useful definitely

Cheers bud I’ll do that.
