    Injector Pump leaking Diesel

    Thank you! One last thing, I'm going to need to purchase a spanner set for this (everything else I’ve managed to do with my socket set) I’m assuming I need imperial sizes?

    Injector Pump leaking Diesel

    Awesome thanks all! The reason I didn’t want to remove the injector pump was because the timing was so good (virtually no smoke bar a bit of white smoke when it cold starts). Watching some videos I’m sure it could be done in situ on an open sided tractor engine but definitely not on the landy...

    I see, so the pump isn’t Land Rover specific then? Thanks

    Injector Pump leaking Diesel

    Hello all, I’ve been using my 2.25l diesel landy for a good half a year now and recently have noticed a small leak of diesel dripping from the top of the injector pump, possibly from where the throttle linkage enters. (It seems this has been going on the whole time since the previous owner has...

    Land rover series 3 clutch/gearbox issue, I just can't get it in gear

    Happened to me too on my second or third drive after I had pulled away, coasted to the side of the road and took a good 2 or 3 minutes of panic to realise what happened :D

    Free wheeling hubs stuck

    Thanks for this! I realised that with both front wheels on the ground in 2wd, the front propshaft should spin by hand when they’re free and shouldn’t spin when they’re locked (had a bit of a panic for a second when I only locked one and it still spun forgetting how a differential works) I...

    Free wheeling hubs stuck

    So it seems it wasn’t completely stuck thankfully, I’ve oiled it up with some WD40 and hopefully it’ll become looser with more use, is there a way to test that they’re functioning? Wouldn’t want to get stuck down a lane thinking they’re working :D

    Free wheeling hubs stuck

    Hello all! I have recently become the owner of a 1961 Series 2 Land Rover. (Well, that’s what the V5 says anyway :D . everything else points to series 3 but that’s another story) It is currently fitted with free wheeling hubs however the front right switch is refusing to move. Is it a case of...

    Rear right body panel replacement (and buying queries)

    Yeah my thoughts exactly, that and the MOT history looking really weird does not inspire confidence. If I were more experienced I would potentially take it on as a project however considering it would be my first landy then I’m not looking to get too deep into things.

    Rear right body panel replacement (and buying queries)

    I agree, not a fan of chequer plate personally This was another area of concern actually, on the same side as the crumpled panel, the door sill seems to sit slightly weirdly

    Thank you! I’ll keep that in mind haha, not got my heart set on it so will make sure to thorough

    Rear right body panel replacement (and buying queries)

    Had a feeling that might be the case. If I were to go and look at this what else should I watch out for other than taking a hammer to the chassis. It’s a 1990 110 (not defender) with 12 seats. From the pictures it looks like the rear cross member has been replaced, how do I know this has been...

    Rear right body panel replacement (and buying queries)

    Thanks for replying! I’ve linked the panel in my original post and here’s a pic of the actual damage. I’m fairly certain it’s purely cosmetic but it would be nice to know how easy it would be to rectify in the future

    Rear right body panel replacement (and buying queries)

    Hi there! I’m looking at purchasing a 110 CSW with a 200TDI swap and the only thing putting me off right now is a crumpled body panel. I’ve found the replacement panel online, how hard would it be to fit this. Would it just be easier to somehow beat the existing panel straight?
