please think before you post. if the rollers allowed one wheel to go backwards then the handbrake would not work at all. reversing rollers are to test freelanders etc with permanent 4x4. you should not test a transmition handbrake on a roller.

How a rolling road reads is dependent on how the tester applys the brake, if he presses too slowly he can have a poor result. if you can lock the wheels on the road then they should lock on the roller, you can get no better than locked. as for the smoke test it should be a visual test only, if...

Yes a diesel is gutless, even by the standards of the day, and the pull knob on the steering lock is the stop control, it should stay out until the key is turned then go in. if they break then people tend to replace them with a standard cable and drill a hole in the dash, hand throttle does no...

you wont affect the timing or anything else, just whip the bolts out and lift it off, no need to skim most of the time, but clean well, you will have cracks in the pre-combustion chambers, this wont hurt unless really bad, they can be replaced if so.

if the beast stops suddenly its not the carb, this would splutter. it will be electrical, change the condenser, gently pull the earth lead in the dizzy, they brake inside the insulation, see if the coil is very hot, if all else fails run a new wire to the coil from the battery. i have had...

Do Not run tublless tyres on tube rims. yours are almost certainly tubed rims, tubless rims have an extra ridge to stop tyres coming off on corners.

Dont blow/brush/suck brake dust! get some brake cleaner from halfords or somewhere and use that

had this on my s1 with all paras, swapped the side to side , helped a bit but never spot on

turn the square on the end of the starter, it may just be stuck on the flywheel, happens when the ring gear is worn

Hi Where abouts are you? transport will be the most important thing i should think

Have you an amp meter fitted? I have had a few that give your prob , try a wire straight to the coil,

in fact the number of accidents caused by a mechanical fault is tiny, even less with an old car, the % of this type of accidents has not altered much in all the years of the mot test. countries that dont have an mot like Canada have no more accidents than us. Please discount the " my brakes...

no power to the coil when cranking, bad ign switch, diesel switch, by pass with new temp wire to test

I wonder if all the owners who called for this realise tha they will no longer be allowed to remove the cherished no from a pre 60 vehicule ? i can see a rash of numbers coming on the market

in fact a landy built upto jan 6 is asumed built in 72 and is tax exempt after that you need proof of build date

some early alternators had a control box, it looked like a flasher unit, also its quite normal to leave the dynamo control box on to act as a junction box when converting to an alternator, Use a test lamp not a meter and chase the power from the brown wire on the solenoid upto the ignition and...

This is comon on s1 and s2, twin filament bulb 21x5 and a white lens. this is legal on the front only

wrong place. vacuum pipe in carb is not at manifold pressure. or suck should i say. put it into the servo pipe.

get a thread file, this will clean up the thread without a die, a very handy piece of kit

all diesel engine landys have a pre-engage starter, if you have a solenoid separably then you have a petrol starter, that said your problem sounds like a bad battery connection as well, hold the starter on and listen to the terminal, it mite hiss, or put a volt meter between the live on the...
