thanks for that useful comment.I am aware of the different models as i have owned them over many many years of being a landy lover.

thanks for that I shall await patiently.

my right hip is starting to complain because of the pressure required to stop my series 3. I am wondering if changing my front drum brakes for a 90's disc brakes would help my right hip? is this achievable? any words of wisdom out there????????

Ok thanks for that oldseadog

Thanks for your comment flying Peter I hope the temperature goes up a bit for me to spend some time checking out the rear of my switch. No idea how long it will take me to get to the position of being able to see the current wiring configuration!!! Brrrrrr

Ok gocha. Thanks Kermit

Hi Kermit, can you be a little more explicit? sorry a bit thick on this.

Great to hear someone else has had a similar experience. I'll check out the battery, never gave this a thought as the engine turns over at a decent speed. The coil connections appear and feel secure but that does not mean it is not a bit faulty. As for the ballast resistor I did not know this...

Hi, it is great to hear someone else has experienced a similar problem to mine. I'll check out the battery first as it is the easiest, but it is turning the engine over fine at speed, so I never thought about it. I don't know anything about the ballast resistor tho, connections to coil appear...

Thanks for your comment tottot. That was a thought that I had and consequently bought and fitted a low voltage starter motor. But that made no difference. I guess I still have a current drop! Still working on this frustrating situation. At least he still fires up when switching off.

Thanks a lot for your advice guys I shall continue my efforts with your pointers.

Hi one and all. I am real Landy nut having just bought my 7th. This time a 1987 2.5 petrol. Lovely and quiet at 50. I have had this Landy 2 1/2 years and spent loads on the old boy (Joe) Reason for name is that when I bought him, he was multi coloured. LOL My biggest frustration is that old Joe...

Thanks Flossie, still finding my around this forum. Old ginger
