Thanks a 10000000 hicapPhill. I've been trying to crank with it for days :) Didn't come with any handles tottot. How does it look like? maybe I can make the handle

Call me heartless but I wasn't very worried about them :) OK, rob1miles I will not age the paint thanks for the advice. I included a photo bellow and one drawing. As the drawing shows crossmemebr in section B is open in front which makes it weak at that point. Maybe the engineers who...

Since I promised photos after repair. They did not do a bad job. For those interested they pulled out the crossmemebr with pulley and chain tied to a metal column. It was interesting to watch. Now I have to find a way to make this repair section look old. I figure if I throw a hand full of...

Problem is evaluating the trucks correctly which never gets done by the insurance industry. We buy these old trucks and spend tons of money and time rebuilding and often even improving them and it still is labeled a 30 some year old truck, while in reality they are each a custom made machine...

A goofy little hatchback of dubious pedigree! She did n't hit with the bumper even, it was the upper corner housing the front lights!! I could not believe it made that much damage. Reading your comments I have to say insurance companies you deal with are much more generous than I am used to...

Thanks for the reply. How much work is involved in taking the bumper out? I was told they have to remove the top, the rear box and then get to the bumper which I found doubtful.

Hello everybody Last week some moron busy on her cell phone rammed the rear of my Landy and bent the left corner of bumper by about 40 degrees as you see in the photos. So the poor thing is in a body-shop waiting for repair. The mechanics said that they will pull the bumper and bent it out...

Repairing

I will try to correct the problem this afternoon. If you didn't hear a big noise and smelled smoke consider the job successful :)

DISCO1BFG apparently the mechanics around me are dumber than they look. The fuse is installed between the coil and pump so it is protecting the pump I guess. The coil was not fused prior to this installation. I would really appreciate if somebody explains what is the right way to do it. 1...

Thanks this is very useful info. I will check that as soon as I can find a socket for plugs. I have not done a compression test but 2 weeks ago engine was opened and valves and related items were changed (second time in 2 months!)

Disco1BFG which part is asking for trouble getting powered from coil or the 15 A fuse? Bern you are talking to an electrical ignoramus my friend. Please explain what wire and what relay? There are no relays in this truck anywhere and the mechanic specializing on electric work chose to connect...

I can't figure out what former owners or mechanics have done with wires. I removed the fuses one by one and almost everything still worked, and yet the one thing that we added (pump) burns the first fuse! I am going to do a complete wiring check up and repair this week. Hopefully solves the...

It got more than just warm. It burned every wire connected to anything near it! This time we powered it up from coil and added a 15 amp fuse in between with fingers crossed. I will keep the electrical pump and install a new mechanical one. If one fails I can switch the pipes to the other one...

At the risk of making an ass of myself let me guess your bike: 4 cylinder 4 independent carbs, 1970s Japanese, bigger than 650 so CB 750 or 1000 or could be a Kawasaki 900 close? I have a weakness myself for old Japanese motorcycles, particularly CX and GL 500s. By the way thanks for the link...

Good day everybody I have searched online as well as this forum and can not find a simple guide for adjusting carburetor on a series 3 petrol. Any idea where I can find such info? My Landy still makes smoke even after engine work and since there are only two screws on the carb I figured I...

rob1miles I think the body is - (no current). Today I reconnected the pump temporarily to the battery and body and at least it is drivavble to a proper mechanic to install another mechanical pump. I am done with + and - no more electricity for me. Thanks everybody for your help.

Thank you guys for telling me about this guy. He looks like a really trustworthy mechanic. In case you are wondering what a British landy lover is doing in dominantly french quebec, Southern quebec especially eastern townships is where a lot of loyalist settled after american revolution. If...

Disco1BFG who is this guy? I did a search and can't find any Quebec land rover channels except for the official ones and land rover experience which is aimed at an entirely different type of people.
