Wanted , series 3 LHD steering box . any out there in good used condition.. :) I don't mind fitting new bearings .. Many thanks .

little thigs annoy these criminals .. Ive just went through there engine listings and reported each to ebay as a fraudulent listing If more fork do the same they should loose the account .. just saves other folk being scammed and if indeed any of these engines do exist its a sure bet they are no...

I had to sell my landy so I could afford diesel for the heater ...

Drove straight through Peterculter .. probably passed your door :) we were doing all the back roads to Cruden bay trying to keep the speed and the oil temp down on the old air cooled motor , It was a boiling hot day on Thursday ..

Will keep you posted .The fella thats buing it is still 100% committed this time around .He knows the score with the box and that I am going to fix it one way or the other so its all good .. Fingers crossed for the easy repair .. I was away in the camper van the other day neat Hatton of...

If I need to,I will , but if its a simple fix such as the main shaft nut come loose ,then other that re tightening the nut or any other in place fixes that it might be, I will leave it alone . The good thing is I have driven the vehicle a fair bit in different situations so I know that there...

been doing my homework , apart from looking into the other sugestions on here I have read that if the gearbox main shaft nut is loose t can cause the bos to jump out of reverse .. Thats interesting because I fitted the Fairey overdrive and would have removed and replaced that nut whn i fitted...

Ha .. I did consider that but i went the other way and put the price up .. Us retired fellas are time rich :) well so im told,but the weeks fair whiz by ..

Thanks for that info.I will give it a look before diggig to deep.. fingers crossed for an easy fix . The box was always fairly quiet ( relatively speaking ) there was never any graunching or hard shifting, it always selected fine and actually drove really well with no hint toward a pending...

Thank you for your replies . It hasnt had anything done to it recently , the box was the original that came with the landrover and by all accounts having stripped the landy for a full rebuild ( not a full restoration) it was pretty evident that the engine and box belonged with that chassis...

Was a good day, a bit windy but it was dry ish .. we did a bit more trialling in a more wild terrain later in the day , The old bus still stuggled with the tight gates but the terrainitself was no problem .. Unfortunately since then the landy has hardly turned a wheel . BUT I did sell it ,only...

Well would you believe it , 6 months down the line and I still have the old 109 .. HOWEVER , the fella that originally said he was buying it has materialised again with the cash this time .. so With a sale agreed I set to servicing the old bus before it was due to go, Also made a point of...

Just a couple of short videos from a trial day local to me .. The video doesnt really show the length of the course or the steepness of the inclines but the old long wheelbase managed the terrain like a champ. The course was a bit tight in places and this was the 109s Achilles heal Well that and...

If you want to get it delivered to me Im down in Forfar we escape the Highland post code , have a drive down and at the weekend and collect it , might keep you within budget :)

I recategorise the skill and say dont rush it , take your time its not a race . and strangely enough things happen quicker and neater . I taught myself like most of the folk in here .If you want it youll find it :) I dont have finesse like the pics you see of shiny metal finnished hand made...

SORN came in in 1997 soanything off the road prior to 97 is fine.. so for an old bike off the road since 78 you would be fine all that would be required there would be to sorn it when the keeper detail changed when you got it after 97.. The landy I was looking at was parked up in 2004. Its...

Having been a customer with BOC for over 30 years I have gradually reduced my contracts with them as they are a ripoff for hobby use . only thing I have left is my oxy acetylene but thats changing when the next fill is due . BOC have a crap supply base where I am and I have experienced half...
