Need to see where it’s coming from before breather ie an uncovered oil hole in rocker shaft as an example

Something must be missing or broken or reassembled wrong , I would advise taking cover off take a pic not running and with running to see where it’s coming from

So it there a pressure of gases coming with the oil , or oil squirts under pressure You might have to run it with cover off to get a better idea of what’s going on , take bonnet off, cover everything else in old sheets / cardboard

That’s a lot, have you cleaned the mesh in filler cap with petrol and have you a pipe coming from it to inlet manifold which is clear

That’s the correct pump not sure about bolt lengths, I would fit loose and swap,around until a similar length sticks out when thread just started , some might be obvious. Checked workshop manual which just says take note when removing 😀

The workshop manual here and the parts manual Good luck http://smithies.co.nz/land_rover/

Could you please do a you tube video with cap off and copy the link on here

With cap off is It a proper blow you can feel with your hand or oil drops splashing out when engine running , oil gets pumped to rocker shaft and each rocker so not unusual for oil to get splashed about as that would be normal lubrication

Maybe if you have an under 3 in it, and vehicle did not have seat belts originally Otherwise you will have a good case to get fine rescinded

I refurbed my passenger side tank a few years ago cleaned out and “painted” with fuel tank sealer inside it gave a nice clean grey finish, I had the filler cap off last week and there was crud sitting on bottom surprisingly!, although mine diesel if it makes any difference I guess they were...

Theoretically without the gauze, it could pull up pea sized crud and block the pipe before it gets to inline filter?

I put this in my 200di https://www.shell.com/motorist/oils-lubricants/helix-for-cars/helix-semi-synthetic/shell-helix-hx7-15w-40.html When I stripped engine it was spotless and unworn inside with no build up of sludge anywhere and noil galleries clear , I wanted to keep it that way and dont...

Yes there is a bolt on the adjusting lever to loosen , may need to slacken off the mounting bolts too if they’re tight Also check the small bolts holding fan on are tight http://smithies.co.nz/land_rover/ The series 3 workshop manual has a section on the routing maintenance very useful Lovely...

Looks a lovely place, hope you git plenty room for landy stuff😀

My passenger side tank was leaking at bottom, separating it from the cradle was a bit awkward releasing the solder joints , but once cleaned up I could see all the pinholes, i used some fuel tank epoxy from Halfords to seal the holes initially on the outside before fibre glass matting it. Worked...

That’s so good, I think my tank retaining bolts had some thick rubber washers on to damp out the shocks. Thinks your son might be starting his degree when this gets finished! 😊

Is the pick up pipe in the tank free from splits, the mesh on end of pipe is good condition , tank free of crap and enough petrol in tank. What incline of hill stops it , what do plugs look like Does it still spark after it’s cut out

Is there also HD screwed connections , even though numbers different must operate same way I’m sure @mystery will know this one

can you do a pic from underneath showing the terminal numbers , that should help
