To be honest I can't anwer that question I did not pay attention to the glass bowl when this happened and I am nowhere near the truck right now. When I go there this afternoon I will check it. That idiot of a mechanic opened every part of the pump and the glass bowl and banged and hammered the...

Col, this landy is 2.25 petrol and fuel pump looks like the attached file with the pumping lever at the bottom.

Col thank you for your quick reply. No. It worked for several days and it was fine (it would showed problem only when it was very hot and I was going up hill) . Yesterday I drove some 50 km in the morning and parked it for several hours. It started but after 10 meters then it stopped. I poured...

Hello everybody How easy is it to change fuel pump in series 3 landy? My fuel pump was heating up and stop sending fuel when it was hot. An incompetent mechanic opened it and made some changes. Now it is not working at all. I am stuck somewhere that towing it or taking a mechanic to it is not...

Thank you all for your help. I put a 5 liter container of fuel in the truck and headed out of town in a straight line to empty the tank (most goofy way to remove the possible oil). I drove till the truck huffed and puffed and came to stop. Then I put the 5 liter int he tank and drove to a...

Good day everybody I was told by some observers that my truck burns oil and has blue smoke. I am not sure if it is true. Here are the signs: 1. It runs like a clock and I don't see smoke consistently. It comes and goes. 2. lately when I start the truck in the morning there is a big bank...

I am sure if he knew about it he wouldn't have missed the chance :)

Hello everybody thanks a lot for the replies. In regards to strange choise of security system this was suggested to me 4 years ago and had worked beautifuly ever since I made it. Several days ago I got tired of using the old hidden switch and decided to make a very creative one hence all the...

Hello guys Yesterday I added a hidden security switch by passing a wire from coil to ground (and a switch in between). Sadly when I tried it it made a short and car won't start any more. When I turn the switch front lights come up and dash lights up but the only sound is a "chick" No starter or...

Thanks for the reply guys. I am going to try bending the float first. I am not very handy with electrical matters. Connecting some wire to my tank might result in having to collect the neigbors cows from top of lamp posts :) I will add an update for you dag109.

Hi Before posting my question I searched the forums but did not find anything similar so sorry if this is another fuel guage question. 1. My fuel guage shows just a litte bellow empty when tank is empty and 3/4 when completely full. 2. As I use the car and fuel goes down the guage goes down...

You can also find plexiglas sheets of different thickness in most hardware stores. Not expensive. You can cut, bend (with heat and some practice) or drill holes in them and they can be glued or screwed to practically anything. Myself never used them for windows so no idea how safe they are if...

I don't know how you drive but usually people press the clutch with their left foot not their ...... :)

Thank you guys

SpringDon I do have a dodgy knee but I had very old trucks and jeeps before and this one is much more difficult to manage than the worst CJ7s I had. I don't think it is normal. Oxides it comes up relatively quickly, so it can't be the pivot, but thanks for pointing that out. Blackburn after...

Sorry if this sounds like an idiotic question, but how hard clutch pedal should be on a series 3 (88 petrol)? I have not had the opportunity to drive a properly maintained landy, so I have no point of reference. Also what should be done to make it softer? Mine is causing constant knee pain. If...

thanks every body I think I am going to do what divie suggests. I have no idea why but shackles instead of being straight and vertical they are bent at an angle. I will take the springs out and clean and oil them to see if they improve. thanks for suggestions.

Howdy guys been away for a while. A mechanic suggested to add a pair of coil springs between rear leaf springs and frame to make the truck smoother a drive better. Is this a good idea? This will be done only in the back. Would it cause any problems in cornering? Has anybody done this? thanks...

No bolts or screws anywhere?? I guess I have to first remove the door and open the inside covers to see the tab right? The door in question is in a scrapyard and I want to just buy the panel. The less time I spend there less he will ask for it.

Sorry for not being clear. Outer skins.
