Hello At some point I must have hit a concrete block with my right locking hub and the knob that we twist to lock/free (#1 in diagram) is broken off. I have found another cap that can replace the cap on the damaged one, but this one works differently and I have to find a way to integrate it into...

I had a series of old Japanese motorcycles from 70s and 80s and they each come with a little tool kit under the seat that despite their economy of size and number of items let you do an incredible number of tasks if the bike break down unexpectedly (For you red blooded British bike fans I must...

Hi Is a series 3 LR permanent 4wd or 2wd? I have been trying to figure this out but what I have been reading does not match my experience. According to various sources it is 2wd untill we press down the yellow knob and go to 4wd drive. This itself raises another question: does it mean 2wd...

Hello What do you think is necessary to have at home to be able to do 80% (level of difficulty and complication also) of mechanical works? Please be specific for example if you say "wrench", add the numbers also. It would be great if you mention the occasion that tool would be used if it is...

While I am driving it jumps out. Thanks Blackburn I will try that today.

Problem continues. Now the 4x4 jumps out when engaged and can't move at all. then the belt came out and got shredded in the fan! I think universe is telling me something.

I have broken 7 if not 8! Also you are giving me more credit than I desere, I can't take out diff by myself. They break often enough without my help. I hate to encourage them. I know that Col, but why front doesn't work? Questions remain, how should I get the tip out?

Hello everybody 1. I have managed to break the rear axle shaft again (#8). I took the bigger part out but the end is in. Any idea as how to get the blasted thing out? 2. To get back I had to lock the hub releases in front and engage 4x4 . The light 4x4 (red stick pushed front) doesn't work...

Col the strange thing is that after 15 minutes of driving while it is still raining the wipers start to come back to life and pick up speed. Surely water is a factor but it could not be evaporated during those 10-15 minutes. Question is where can it be that possibly heat will evaporate it in...

Hello My windshield wipers work well all the time except for when it rains. When I turn them on nothing happens for the first few minutes then slowly slowly it comes to life with very choppy and slow motion. 10 minutes later they are working as normal and then they start to pick up speed and...

This is quite an idea. Very expensive estate of the art electric suv that leaks oil like a drunk old fool, parked on the big brown spot on my drive way :)

Hello people As of yesterday I hear a thick metalic rattling sound from under the seats at low rev especially after changing gear. It is always a set of three or four heavy clicks. It comes and goes and it sounds expensive. Any idea what it could be? thanks in advance.

What happened? I mentioned Russians and the ocnversation died?!

Either you own a castle with a lot of dirty windows or a very clean landy.

North american mentality is more aligned with leasing something new and not having to worry about maintenance or reliability or heavy cost of keeping an old truck going. I mentioned that I am looking for a Lada Niva and this conversation got started. Back in mid 80s when Lada was new in Canada...

Good day all I had a conversation with a friend lately in which I was accused of being a d---head, which makes me start this question (to prove I am not :) What is your Land rover series' average maintenance and upkeep cost per year? Please specify what you have otherwise it won;t be useful...

Thanks James. I will give it a try.

Thanks everybody. Is this the kind of thing I could do with basic tools if I find the springs? Kermit up the hills this old thing needs the third otherwise the very civilized and patient citizen blow their damned horns and make asses of themselves more than nature intended.
