Dag019 no I have not done that yet because it requires tools and lift which I do not have. I am planing to take it to a garage and do it there. Meanwhile I am searching online for a photo or diagram to see where is that nut is.

Thanks everybody for your help and advice the PDF file was very interesting and useful. I had changed the speedometer unit 38000 km ago and it was factory original and new so I am sure it is not the unit. My problem right now is knowing what causes the problem, the gearbox or the drive? The...

I be damned if I knew, probably a coat hanger. The former owner of this poor truck had done some really idiotic thing (including bolting shut the opening where crank starter goes in! For the life of me I can't imagine why anyone want to do that). It has taken 6 years to bring the truck back...

Good lord, I did not see those screws!!!! This is an eye opening experience. What else have I missed in my life!

Thanks everybody for your help. I opened the middle seat and got easy access from the top to the area although it turned out that it was easier to open the screws from under the truck. I separated the cable without any problem. Photo bellow shows the end of cable. I have two questions: 1. Does...

It amazes me that the professional mechanics could not think of this! Thank you Phill.

It turned out that the cap that fits the cable to the speedometer was broken. I found one and replaced it and while at it we took out the cable, cleaned and oiled it and put it back. No good. Now we have another problem: The place the cable fits in the gearbox has gotten bigger so the cable...

Merry Christmas and happy new year to you all Trying to fix electrical problems in my Landy (installing a new regulator to make the fuel gauge wok properly) I opened the speedometer panel and put it back again. Next day I noticed that speedometer needle is not moving and km counter is not...

Thanks for your replies guys. The black wire I found out is a ground. The other one must be disconnected and re-wired since the temperature gauge work. Unfortunately the former owner had used black wire for every rewiring. Not so easy to figure out what is what. All the essential electrical...

First of all thanks for your replies. The carb is Zenith 36IV that was rebuilt 6 years ago. I tried closing the needle/screw thing completely and then opening it to 1 3/4, even more. Now it does not die in idle but drives weak and makes a funny ttttttttttt sound. It is like flow of fuel is...

I changed valves and valve seals less than 4000 km ago (the moron mechanic did not change the ring while the engine was open!) I will check the plugs for color. Initially I thought he meant one cylinder not firing. Could something be blocked between carb and engine? How do I check that...

Hello people There are two wires hanging loose from the bulkhead as you can see in the photo (one is blue-green #1 and one is black #2). I checked the wiring color chart of British cars and blue-green is supposed to be temperature sensor. But my temperature sensor is working so this can't be...

Thanks for quick reply guys. I don't think there is any plug issue. I know the car long enough to know if one cylinder was not firing from the sound. Two things: The odor is oily. It starts always (since I changed starter a week ago) on the first try. Problem is staying on. I will try what...

Hello people It looks like my engine is not getting fuel although: 1. pump is working and filter shows plenty of fuel in the hose 2. the idle screw of the carb. is turned all the way in (on max) 3. air-fuel mix screw of the carb. is open as much as possible. Lately I did not like the odor of...

A simple and easy to use camera that can fit into your pocket at all times. Take as many photos and videos as you can. This would be very interesting to watch and good luck with your project. You're going to have a lot of fun.

Yes this is the factory heater. The former owner of this truck was a complete ass, I am sure he had not made any improvements. I am amazed to hear that this is better than original LR heater! I am going to try your method and see if reversing the pipes would improve anything.

Thanks everybody for your valuable help through the process. As photos show the pipe that bring the water to the heater was broken. I took the heater out and found a plastic hose that fitted inside the pipe and also inside the heater connecting part perfectly. After some sanding and washing...

Yes. I put the two hoses together temporarily. OK, I have cleaned the valve and hoses (now water is flowing beautifully) and now I have to take out the heater core and weld the broken pipe going in. Is it as simple as opening the bolts around the heater box and taking the thing out? Do I need...

Thanks guys for the replies changed the starter today.

Sorry to ask something that probably was asked before but when I try to search I keep getting error. Should I remove the starter from above (hood) or from under the truck? There seem to be no room for it either way. I saw a youtube video somebody removed it from top but he had to remove a lot...
