    Learning curve ahoy!

    Just so you know, charge light will be on when ignition is on because the battery isn't been charged, when the engine is on, it may stay on, if you blip the throttle it should go away!

    Learning curve ahoy!

    There were no landrovers with 11inch drums on the back (well standard ones) they should be 10 inch! (I could be wrong, perhaps the 1 tonnes did, but I'm sure normal ones were all 10 inch. These are the right ones, so that's how they should look, however I think midst of famous four is Britpart...

    Learning curve ahoy!

    I belive the correct size fan belt is 1050mm, often the 3 bolts tat secure the alternator get siezed, mine were, but the bolts werent tight when it siezed. The brakes, could be just rust on the drums as its been standing for a while by the sound of it.

    Go to the introduce your self, some people get annoyed if you don't! But I belive one can simply not educate another about the problems that you will face, as it will be differnt on every car. I guess, grinder, metric and imperial spanner and socket sets (e.g my landy has a random assortment of...

    Hi and welcome, please go to the introduce your self section (some people on here get grumpy if you don't) I'm not totally sure about the seats situation, however, I do use my middle seat occasionally, I got a lap belt from the scrappy, and checked my insurance to see what they thought there...

    Smoke in the Cab when Starting

    I think there's an exhaust joint by the gearbox, if that's blowing then it will cause the tunnel to heat up and the smoke in the cab. I can't understand the starting problem, are you saying it has a new battery but the cracking speed is very low and doesn't want to start it? Also petrol or...

    Quick question regarding glow plugs

    If it's the new type, wired in parallell then you don't need to use the ballast resistor (that's how mine is and there's no problems! I guess you know, but a good 15-20 of heat is usually used to start it!, when the engine cranks is it slow? I.e. Is your battery big enough (I know it's a 12v one...

    Question to the PTO experts

    Unrelated but I'd check your propshaft, (of course no offence intended) but doesn't look like it's had any grease for a long time, and from my recent experiences, fixing it earlier makes it easier

    Think I broke it

    Hand brakes have a habit of binding on! Then when the car moves the shoes then shoot back causing a bang. This can happen without feeling any differance in the leaver. It could also be the clutch slipping as it banged into the flywheel. When it's in 2 wheel drive, the back wheels are...

    Think I broke it

    If it's anything like the 2.25 (I think they are fairly identical) the system will need re priming, it's abit fiddly, but if you follow exactly what the service manual says, it pretty easy again don't know about bang, especially as we didn't hear it but handbrake, halfshafts would be a good...

    Series no alternator charge or charge light

    I may be confused, but if the charge light is on it means that the battery is actually discharging? (This seems to be the set up on mine??) A few months ago my idle was set way too low, to the point heel toe shifts were necessary to stop it stalling and when I used to take my foot off and as...
