It's shocking that these bastards haven't been battered by someone yet!

Thanks for that. I clamped all three flexis and got a brilliant pedal! I have read a few people suggesting you need to open the apportioning valve to bleed the brakes. If you don't you are restricting fluid flow and any air in the system can sit there in the valve. So then i unclamped the rear...

Thanks, i've read this before. It was while i was still battling removing the brake drums and filing down the ends of brakes shoes to get the drum back over the new shoes prior to replacing various knackered brake pipes and the flexible pipes. I picked up a hand vacuum bleeding kit from the Land...

Thanks for your suggestions. My manual arrived today! It was dropped off after i'd exhausted my latest two litres of brake fluid. So no, my adjusters are not backed off, they are adjusted 'just' off like they'd be in general service. Backing them off makes no sense to me as that would mean more...

erm, thank you Gstuart?

I've changed several brake pipes, plus all flexibles, new wheel cylinders, shoes. Then during phase 1 of bleeding the original master cylinder went poopy in it's pants so replaced it with a new one. Then during phase 2 of bleeding it too decided to go poopy in it's pants by sending the fluid the...

EMLRA is one of the half dozen online forums i've joined since buying the 101. I've been a member of the Series 2 Club for a few years. I don't think i've ever been on the forum. Just renew and read the magazine when it drops on the carpet.

Sadly i joined up after the magazine went out of print. As it's only £15 i'll let the subscription carry on and see what happens. www.101parts.co.uk Sadly, i'm well aquainted with Martin (buying far too many parts) 😁. I was up at Able yesterday collecting two swivel seals and an exchange master...

I messaged the Faceache page nearly two months ago asking what do i get for my subscription and have had no reply. No sign of a web page, so is it finished? It would be just my luck now i've finally got my wallet on my own 101 ambulance...

An internal rear view mirror would be of no use in a Landy that you can't see out of the back of, like my 101 ambulance for example. I'm pretty sure the only legal requirement is one on the driver's side. Ha ha, presses 'post reply', scrolls up and reads the post above... AND stands...

And boys and girls, this is how manufacturers' 'special tools' are made...

You beat me to it! :cool:

Applied generous squirts to the back doors on my 101 ambulance. After several open and closings they still make you look for Christopher Lee or Bela Lugosi when they are moved! Removed the fuel pump carrier to replace the fuel pump. Discovered the extra pump sat atop of the tank ISN'T sucking...

You can get a new chassis here: https://richardschassis.co.uk/Land-Rover-Series-3-chassis-88-air-portable/ The good thing about Land Rovers is they are just a big Meccano set! Everything unbolts and bolts back on. There are several videos on Youtube of people doing chassis swaps.

I agree. You shouldn't be allowed to fiddle with either a mobile nailed to the dash or a factory fitted satnav either. My phone stays in my pocket when driving except for when it's in satnav mode in which case it's in it's holder and the only time i touch it is to turn it off after i've arrived...

You can poke it as long as you aren't holding it. Below is from the gov website Using devices hands-free You can use devices with hands-free access, as long as you do not hold them at any time during usage. Hands-free access means using, for example: a Bluetooth headset voice command a...

I tried using Waze a few years ago instead of Google maps. It just stopped working. I don't know if it found my route to and from work too basic/boring or what. So i went back to Google

You might want to explain to the yoof what an OS map is...

I would use my phone over a satnav purely because i'd have to buy it and i'm basically a tight arse when it comes to buying things i don't need. Unless of course it's some useless tat for the Landy 😁

If you fit a dash cam or rear cam and hard wire them, according to this week's THREATEN THE MOTORIST READERS WITH PRISON/EXECUTION AND UNLIMITED FINE scare story, if you don't inform your insurance company it'll void your insurance because a hard wired camera is seen as a modification yet one...
