Managed a few days in the new lockup. This afternoon I plucked up the courage to couple the trailer to Henry and gingerly tow it out of LU1 onto the road. Only because one of the neighbours called to pick up his fishing tackle and watched the roof for clearance. It’s not the same as hand balling...

Be nice for the next owner 😳 😂🤣😂

What’s up with it? Damaged drivetrain by any chance 🤣

Strangely if you have full compression your better off at 20 seconds so the battery dunt have to overwork turning the damn thing till it fires. I always do 20 seconds now I’ve rebuilt the engine. It wasn’t an issue when it wur knackered.

I only have a second ‘barrel’ hole in the drivers door for the key. If your not interested in originality you could try the old garage door bolt fix. Far more secure than the Land Rover lock. They fit quite nicely snugged up to the doors cross frame.

Might just be the weather. My series takes a few seconds longer to start in the cold and damp.

You could put it in general Land Rover rather than Series Land Rover. 😉

If your grub screw has not easily screwed in below flush then you haven’t found the hole. I ruined a filter gasket thinking I had it.

Can’t make head nor tails of description as I’m stupid but. I’ve recently done this wrongly and corrected it by; When you fish around to find the grub screw it often throws out the timing by at least a tooth on the pump shaft. I just dropped the shaft in, on the mark but it’s obviously...

I already have several. They’re just too smelly to keep in the back. 🙁

It won’t rub for ever. 😳

I had fired it up a few times over my cast time. The last being a few days prior to the trip to Abduls. On that occasion it ticked over for half an hour and showed a quarter of a tank so I didn’t even consider it would be low on t’fuel. I blame the excitement of Honest Abduls Pound Emporium as...

Popped to the pound shop day before yesterday after my leg lay up. Once bejewelled with Abduls finest offerings the heap wouldn’t start. Out of diesel 😳 Back into said shop for a can and a walk to ASDA I bled the sodding thing and back on my way. Today I went on a run to blow away its...

A find never the less. Good luck with it.

Series 3 should be electric. I know mine is. Not that I use it. I have a simple chinesium temp pickup taped to the top radiator hose with the LCD readout in the cab.

On this occasion ferric chloride. It’s not an acid but only contains one magic and brass contains two magics. The jollop pinches one from the brass and it dissolves. It can be used over and over again until the jollop is full of magics and can’t pinch any more. 🤷‍♂️ Oh, you have to hang it face...

Never have enough. I chose to put a stupid body on mine 😳 The times I’ve needed one to chuck junk on 🤨

Advertise them with the galvanised chassis they are lent against. 👍

Gerra sheet of brass, cover up the bits you don’t want to melt, hang it in jollop and wait for the bare bits to get as deep as required.

The 90 one fits and is still cheap and available. I’d save the switch bit on the back of your original just to make sure the connections work. It does fit on the new one. I had to butcher a modern petrol one for a series diesel with the pull stop. Managed it but it’s a sod if a job. The petrol...
