Dear James, Always admired your ‘Great War Hero’ meme, and have always wondered who it is? Adrian Carton de Wiart? thanks for your words of wisdom: it drops a few spots of oil everywhere we go. It’s a 200tdi, so a tough old bugger? In the style of Adrian Carton de Wiart? as above I’m...

I was just getting a bit worried as RAC bloke said it was a ‘terrible’ leak... when I look under the whole engine bay part of the chassis is sodden in oil..... had the RAC out as the clutch has gone (he thinks). So I’m just getting ouotes on that (£800 All in so far). Wish I’d have...

Forgot to add pics- here they are

Hi guys, A novice mechanic, yet Landy lover here. I have an old 110 that’s got a bad leak going on. It’s coming somewhere out of the top. It would probably be difficult to diagnose exactly from the pics (although somebody may know) could I ask for the general consensus of the what the...

Thanks gents for all of your input- showed to the brilliant RAC man who sorted it out road side. I would have dropped him a very very large drink if I’d have had it as now I won’t be stuck at home tomorrow with a 4 and 7 year old! cheers!

Just to update on this- ... I’m sitting right now waiting recovery as the bloody gearstick seems to has unattached itself from the box..,,, it loose and floppy and can’t get into gear. FFS! Aaagh!!! is this a continuation of what it other members thought it was before, or an...

Hi guys, the worlds worst mechanic here. As above I’m getting difficulty going into gear. It also seems like the gear selection has moved?? Like it’s in a different position to the way it was..?? Don’t know if any of you can identify with what I mean..! I hope so as I need the bugger to...

That is good common sense.... I know that there was an issue when u fist bought it with a leaf from the clutch fluid (if anybody could give me a pointer where that is, in case it happens again, I’d be grateful) I’ll have to work out where the is ones coming from but seems direct from the...

thanks so much for this- a great comprehensive reply!!! Only unknown about mine is that it’s an ex disco engine and of course paperwork been lost blah blah, but looking over the files I reckon it’s about on 100k on the engine (clocks on 190k) seems to be a quite leaky. Cause for concern or...

Hi gents, Lazy arse defender driver here. Got a lovely old dog to drive around in, but never been great on the spanners. was wondering if any of you pros could do a list according to a 5,000 mile a year usage. What you’d check in a weekly/monthly/3 monthly basis etc. thanks in advance! mark

New cushions are not needed - (aka squabs). The back part is needed and the rx8 backs look great inside a 110!

politically incorrect.... you must say great anglo now....

So I saw the thread on Mazda rx8 seats and thought they’d do nicely in the front of my old bus....BUT they weigh a ton and it’ll make it a mission to get to the battery compartment the next time I have a flat battery. So I thought that I could graft the bucket back with the bottom original seat...

Thanks for this advice. Will follow through with that when I’m next at the garage which is next week. thank you too gents for your all your input. i looked up a great old thread on boiled linseed oil, and am going to saturate the chassis in it (obviously inside chassis and out!!!!)

In all honesty, after reading the messages, I’ve been over her with a fine tooth comb and from my albeit limited knowledge, I can’t find any other patches of rot. The annoying thing is that the ad said that bulkhead had been replaced about 6 years ago....which looks like it hasn’t been....but...

On the other hand I could be setting up a conversation for the future on landy zone if you get my rourkes drift ;)

I would do but I’m borrowing a garage. I plan to get a welder this coming year.... I take your point- BUT will filler some in these bits temporarily as I’m in the process of spraying

Thanks guys. Its just got a load of small rot holes all over really. would I be right in saying get the rot out, filler in, then etch prime then top coat in these ones?

Hi guys, bought a landy that I was told was solid. Took it all at face value over e bay and now swallowing a bitter pill. Here’s another hole I discovered in the footwell. Shouldn’t it have failed the mot in November if it was this bad? is this one an easy patch job? cheers mark.

i hear you pal, but I’m just skint and as I’m on the tools (albeit a totally different line) and have extensive P and D experience, I just thought I’d ask the brotherhood for advice- afterall, it’s not a roller, it’s a landy, and one doesnt need a pristine machine, just something that looks A...
