hello there, rebuilt my carb. Turned Landy over and she was running fine. Went to the engine pay to see fuel peeing out of this hole. Have I forgotten something or done something daft? Ta, Joe

I’ll lap it for sure! Got a nice 1-3/4” inch plate of glass I use for lapping and flattening my sharpening stones on at work. I’ll let you all know how it goes. Thanks

Thanks chaps! Like I said, it’s going on a glav chassis as this one is rotten. And it’s got a bit of unececery filler here and there too. As for the wing mirrors...I don’t know what they were thinking!?!

Thanks for both your replies.. that’s great! Kinda confirmed my thinking cheers guys!

Carb is a zenith. I’ve ordered a service kit. I wondered if the volume screw might be buggered. Looks a little scored and bent. Not bad at all..but could be it? Ignition system is good. It’s all been replaced recently. Oil change, I’m not sure! I don’t know when that was last done. I’m about...

Hello there. Any help appreciated! ‘62 2a, 2.25 petrol. I have just acquired it, the previous owner told me he thought it had a low compression issue. It has a misfire. Yesterday I thought I’d take a look at it. I went to it cold, having not had it running for a good few days. Took all the...

The crank sensor was buggered as I suspected! So put the one in from the other box and it's away! Regarding the clutch, it operates fine. It's had a new slave and master. Tried bleeding it up. Not having it! But it does work fine. Just the slack at the top? Maybe I shouldn't worry about it! If...

Another thing! The clutch seems to have a bit of slack at the top before it feels like it is doing anything. Bled it up at the slave, doesn't seem to have changed it. Thought I would try it once running to see if it is operating as it should. Joe

I can't quite see where you mean on that picture...I'm sure it will become obvious when I get under there tomorrow

Also, it doesn't have dif lock, and it doesn't have high/low on switch, it's cable!?

I don't remember taking them off!? I will have to have a look in the morning. On the side? Or are they on the top? Ta, Joe

Ahhh, if only if have known! Trying to remember the 2 earths. Are they the block conector just on the top drivers side of the t/box? I have a niggling feeling I forgot to plug something back in. I put the crank sensor back in. Then just the 2 connectors that come down near the hand brake to...

It appears in becoming a regular here. Changed the box on my d2 td5 manual today. Got it all back in lovely, turn the key...it cranks fine, no start. I THINK I connected everything back up fine, I will double check tomorrow but I'm sure I did. The only thing I can think it may be is the crank...

Guys! Thank yku all for your advice. It just needed a second pair of hands to pull it out straight! The new box flew in..but it won't start now! Turns over really well, but doesn't fire. Gonna double check I connected everything back up again. Failing that I'm thinking i may have upset the...

Transfer box still on, and yep, removed the cable

Td5 manual Splitting the box off my engine..got all the bolts out, starter motor off. All wiring disconnected. Slave cylinder off. Props off..mounts off. It's got about a 10/15cm gap all around but doesn't want to go any further. I am trying to do it on my tod..so can't really watch what it...

cheers @jamesmartin That was my opinion! Box out tonight. @Gazbo Thanks for that..it wouldn't explain the gear crunch though. Might make for a clunky change...or a "tight" box. Cheers lads

Thanks mate. I will have a go. I stripped it down to look at the bias plate today so will have a go in the morning. Apparently the box oil was done very recently..and it is completely dry. May be worth doing though. If it was changed so recently I would expect to see a dribble from the...

Hi. Picked up a d2 on the weekend. I knew there was a possible issue in the box when I got it. But the guy I got it off seems to be sure it's the bias plate or yoke. Symptoms: Slight crunch from 1st into 2nd Slight crunch from 2nd to 3rd Down changing from 4th to 3rd and then to 2nd is next...
