Thanks for the link, just had a look through to see if it would give me some motivation to do my Lightweight, I like the brick acid method you have used, I think I will give it a go when I get going. Look forward to seeing the end result, and I bet you are to. Keep up the good work Mate.

Sorry Kev, I did ant realize your landy was disassembled, it is easy when the landy is up and running. It looks like Doug has put you in the right direction, best of look with your rebuild. Do you have a rebuild thread ?

Yes you can, I did my S3 4 years ago and i havant had any problems at all. I used heavy trailer cable and run it to a waterproof junction box under the back of the tub, run the wires to the left and to the right and to the trailer light plug. Just use the trailer lights colour code to wire...

Hi, the best thing to do is join GLASS, Green Lane Association. They have the best info on green lanes in the UK and a wealth of knowledge, have a look at their Web site https://www.glass-uk.org/

Thanks, Steve, that is really helpful, I will do what Landy 61 advised and loosen the top off and let you know, cheers

Sorry forgot to say, it's driving

Hi all, I have just rebuilt my S3 gear box; :) *Whilst driving* The reverse, 3rd & 4th gear work fine, however 1st & 2nd gear is very stiff. I have put on a new 1st & 2nd synchro and 1st & 2nd synchro rings, it'll go into gear, but it takes some force; :mad: So, does it just needs wearing...

Thanks Steve, that thread is very helpful. Cheers

Hi every one, Just found a series gear box in my container, i have no idea which series it is out of. I know it's not a S3 box the clutch linkage is on the driver's side, the serial number is 23600762 A. Any info will be greatly appreciated. Mal

Hi, i did have a damper on my S3 SWB for a short time (6 weeks) to try and calm the steering a bit which it did, the down side it made the steering heavy. I ended up taking it off and going through the steering system from the box to the wheels and defiantly keeping the original steering wheel.

Bloody lockdown, the offers there when we are allowed out to play again. If you see me around come and say hello (i don't bit). Mal

Snap, me to, i am the one you see driving round in a green and cream S3 swb with a S2a grill. If your stuck for someone to go with to have a look let me know.

Hi, that looks straight and Klein for its age, i am bit curious why he has a td5 tub?. I would go and have a look and take someone with you that knows landys. Where a bouts in North Wales are you.

86" or 88" + 107" series 1 bulk head and one of the wind screens and the other screen is off an 80" series 1.

Defiantly a Series

Bugger, i hate when that happens :mad: I am sure you will sort it out, the joy of owning a Landy ;).

Both ends of the loom, don't any of the wires have markings. If i could get to mine i would take some photos for you to see, but i cannot get to her due to our Wales COVID-19 lock down(5-mile radius from where we live) landy 20 miles from where i live. Sorry i can't help you more. Mal

On mine the sleeves are at the end of the wire. I have come across some wiring where the sleeves are missing due to have being cut and re-wired!.

Are you wiring it back to a NATO plug or a Civi. The little sleeve's on the yellow wires should have letters on, A to N. A, F,H are spare. B left hand stop light. C convoy. D and L earth. E tail and number plate light. J right hand stop light. K aux positive. M left hand turn light. N right hand...

There is a neat tool you can get (not expensive) with a hook on one end which you push through the rubber or leather and at the other end is a piece sticking up that you hit with a hammer and it knocks the seal out, simples ;) If by chance you buy a seal and it is a metal & leather one you need...
