Had a quick look , no spacer fitted ....

Interesting , I don,t have the old one - threw it away , and can’t recall if there was a spacer , will check I seem to recall an issue with the bolt length , so will bear that in mind - Ta Steve

Hi All , Was hoping for a bit of guidance , recently changed my fuel pump TO a bearmach one with a glass bowl , the old pump didn't have a bowl . No problems with the fit I thought , however now although the landy runs the fuel flow rate seems barely sufficient , the inline filter has little...

Oh yeah forgot to say ... fully dismantling for me is a bit much, but then depends on what you want to end up with & how much time and energy you have . I'd personally go for the repair which you can do effectively in an afternoon , especially if like you have the roof on the ground , much...

Looks just like the challenges I faced Looking at the state of the old sealant , not surprised it leaks , get it all out , and you'll be fine . I've never really had issues with the rivets , so can't comment , but makes sense to get any rattlely ones out & replaced , Make sure you get the...

Hi, I've done a couple of leaky roofs using Sikaflex EBT , basically clear out all the old sealant which tends by now to be absolutely solid , cracked , or missing , then if you need to or can tighten any rivets , but never actually needed to do that . then reskim the gutter , apply pressure to...

More differences with the fuel pump , I removed it , and have found it has a 1cm spacer between it and the engine mounting plate , not sure why it's fitted ? , neither the workshop manual or Haynes show this spacer fitted . wondering what it's for ? looks like a pro spacer , not a botch job ...

Checked out fuel pumps and it seem mine is none standard , as the pipes go straight up out of the top and have right angles onto which fuel hoes attach and have no glass bowl , seems the bearmach pumps available exit from the side of the body with a glass bowl , replacing this may be the best...

Hi All, Well distributor arrived & fitted , did the maths and calculated the 6/8 deg and with tippex marked pulley . Started first time , had borrowed a timing gun , and showed it was about - 12 deg, ran roughly and low turnover 400rpm , adjusted/turned the distributor and it improved...

Interesting alternative method , will give it a go , have found TDC , #1 piston @ highest point & rotor arm pointing directly @ # HT lead , and pulley mark directly at pointer / tongue . The only challenge I see now is how to measure deg, the pointer on my engine has a single point , unlike the...

Thanks , panic subsiding, slowly with help from "you tube" and Haynes am starting to piece it together , worked out how to find TDC , and have moved the air cleaner can for better access to distributor , just now need to wait on distributor & timing gun and then give it a go next weekend ...

Hi , Seeking some advise, all of a sudden I developed a lack of power & misfired and died, checked out fuel supply ok , fuel in carb , so figured electric's , was out on the road so called the AA, he diagnosed a faulty distributor, specifically the plate on which the points are fixed rocks...

Hi , Recently did my roof , used a 1x2 m sheet of 20mm close density foam , covered by grey acoustic carpet , all from e-bay .I had the roof off to do it , but generally pretty straight forward, as mentioned , don't forget to use temp glue , as even in the UK the roof gets might hot . Used the...

Hi Having spent an age sorting out speedo issues , would echo the earlier suggestion , check first , open up the centre seat panel ,disconnect cable at the drive & connect to a drill , assuming the top end is firmly in the speedo , and I'd double check that , it should work . I found I did...

Hi , Thought I'd add a photo , All brand new , and just the sort of things most old landies need , appreciate the catchment area is small - London / SE , but am just not keen to get involved in the postage element of selling them individually on flea-bay Cheers Steve

Hi , Have job lot of unused new parts for a SWB series 3 , ideal parts if you have just bought a tired SWB , with a view tidying it up. Set of front rubber floor mats Pair of Def / 90 style door rubbers Set of rear mud flaps Complete sill set Front wing mud shield set both sides in reg...

Well didn't take long for me to decide I wanted the speedo to read correctly so had to find a 1408 speedo , took about a week , GO ONE , cleaned it up , new rubbers , re sprayed the bezel & fitted , all good.... as near as identical / accurate on speed with the sat nav & going back to the...

Well tried the spare speedo , that made the difference , tested initially with the drill , and the bouncing had disappeared , so decided to swap speedo's . unfortunately not all series speedos are the same , turned out the good one had a threaded connector for the cable , not the type that...

Thanks for the thoughts & the link , much to consider !!!! , Did lube up the new cable , and really tried hard to route it smoothly , so don't think that's it , have managed to borrow a gauge ( which I don't know the condition - another variable) , so will have a play again this weekend ...

Well gave it a big tug with the pliers and it came out , looks like the cable had been flattened and forced in . Fitted the replacement , and ended up having give both ends a whack with a hammer to widened/ flatten them enough to engage at both the drive & gauge ends . Unfortunately the wildly...
