Hi Andy, right you are!!! My book reiterates that many-many times!!

OK, So last night I did the following: 1.) My book says to short the solenoid to check the starter, so I took a screwdriver and shorted over the two electrical connecting posts --- NOTHING, not even sparks. I tried this a few times with different screwdrivers and eventually even clipped the...

Thanks for the reply brnocz. It used to turn slowly, sometimes, but now does not turn at all. Problem is I dont know for sure whether it is the starter motor or not. I'm hoping to figure that out (whether it is indeed the starter motor or perhaps something else) BEFORE taking it out!!

Hi doobie, She push starts just fine, but that is not going to work for me - always having to park on a slope!!! I tried jump starting her, but nothing. I have wondered whether my jump cables aren't to thin and thus does not get enough power to the battery. Maybe I should get a pair of GOOD...

Hi all, I have a 69 shorty (2.25l, 4 cyl, petrol). Since the day I bought it my starter motor sometimes would "slip" -- when I turn the ignition, i would just get a grrrrrrrrrrrrrr. When I turn it again it would be ok and start just fine. This happened maybe every 20 starts. Recently, the...

Ok, thanks!! That was my next question...... you probably cannot downgear (without scratching) if you're going too fast. If I go REALLY slowly (almost standstill) I can downgear without a problem, but even doing 30km/h, I cannot downgear without scratching. Regarding blipping or holding, Ive...

Hi all, This may seem like a stupid question, but hear me out please..... I have had a 69 Series 2A Landy for a few months now and still cannot "down shift" from 3rd to 2nd without scratching the gearbox. I dont have synchros between 1 and 2 and therefor need to "double clutch"...

Thanks all - busy with the download and will order the Haynes manual.

Hi all, As stated previously, I recently bought my FIRST LANDIE. On top of that, I am a bit "technically/mechanically challenged" so excuse my ignorance - or lack of the correct jargon.... How do I check and change my "transfer box" :confused: oil levels? I got underneath the other day and...

Peace!! Next time I have a problem, I'll be sure to write in absolute detail.:p Anyways, seriously now..... Thanks for all the answers. I have a few things which I could have a look at and I also know that I dont need to worry about condensation. Have a good one.

Ahhhhhhhhhh, now the forum has changed from, landy to excersise/fitness/wellness to law/prosecution/interrogation............. GOTTO LOVE IT!! Right, firstly Slob, no this is not at all what I said in my first post. In my first post I said the following - I even started it off by letting you...

Ok, seeing that this has gone from a landie forum to an excersise forum, lets talk about it.... Please suggest how, after I have DRIVEN the 2k's (ffs), I then get to clients, maybe 50k's away - 3, 4 times a day!? Would you suggest I walk to the office in the morning, then around 10, walk to my...

Yeah, I was waiting for that.... Yes, 2 k's to work!! Come on, why a bike when I can drive a LANDIE!!!!!! Anything else than a Landie for 2k's, yes then I agree, "buy a bike ffs".

FFS, ok-ok :D Seriously, ok, I get it.... Stupid question, but I was just thinking if I give you guys ALL the symptoms (including condensation), then you might be able to pinpoint exactly the reason for my very first question - why the smoke when I start her up!? Yes, I hardly drive 2km's to...

Hi all, Thanks for the replies. Over the weekend I started the landie inside my garage and when I walked passed the exhaust, I felt something against my leg. When I looked down I noticed that it was drops of water coming from the exhaust, "spraying" against my leg. This morning I again...

Hi all, First Landie, first post!! I recently bought a 1969 Series 2 SWB 2.25 PETROL. All looks in good condition, but recently (2 weeks after the purchase) I noticed that everytime I start it - whether hot or cold - a great WHITE puff of smoke comes out of the exhaust. Any ideas what this...
