Hello I recently had the turn signal handle changed and it is a few days that they do not work at all. I opened the cover and can not see any lose wires anywhere. When I try the turn signals I hear one click and it stops. It seems to be for both left and right. My web search has not been...

Thanks 10000 times for your help. I am going to try doing it myself and I am pretty sure I can not make a bigger mess than my mechanics regularly do. Fortunately the required parts are not expensive and worse case scenario I can get it right the second time.

Thanks everybody. I am especially grateful for the step by step instruction. I'll duckduckgo (we no google) it step by step to see what tools I'll need. I hope I only need a 52 socket, as Lynall says although I imagine he means on top of the usual set of tools that everybody has which might...

Hello everybody I hope 2022 is a good year and much better than last two miserable years for you all. Ever since I had the half-shaft changed several months ago there has been oil over rear passenger side wheel and hub but now it is getting pretty deplorable. I checked the forum and other...

Usually people use roof tents in areas like australia and africa where there are plenty of creepy crawly bugs and snakes for safety. I find it hillarious that a "rattler" want to find a way to go up in a roof tent :) As they say more power to your elbow.

Hi everybody Typically how long timing chains in series 3 last? Do they give any signs before causing trouble? Any idea as how to check them without specialized tools? Chain is the one thing that has never been touched on my truck and for some wierd reason it is starting to worry me. I am at...

I got some longer fuel hose and based on yours and tottot's comment I changed the position of fuel hose. It is as horizontal as it can be and with only 1 filter passing in front. I have to try a long drive on a really hot day to see what diffference it makes. I am hoping it does. At the very...

Col I have 2 filters the other one is before carb as you suggestd. I think the vapour lock happens in the pump and in the hose between pump and carburator. I am going to test wrapping those in fiberglass insulation and see what differnce it makes. I am not sure what "the cheapie supermarket...

I had to search to see who Heath Robinson was and it was a shocking discovery. Professor Branestawn's adentures have always been among my favourite books. Good lord this explains a lot! Steve anything above 32 C.

I have suffered from overheating fuel pump ever since I bought this truck and in fact I even installed a back up electrical fuel pump to switch between the two. Despite these every summer dealing with heat was a pain in the neck. Finally after a day of having to switch back and forth 5 times I...

I will inspect it thanks, sharp of you to notice it

Thanks everybody for your input. I learnt a few surprising things. Since somebody expressed doubt as to my sincerety I attach a couple of photos. The arrow shows the hole I drilled to pass the wires. Since it did not work wires soldered to battery were discarded. Oddly enough by proving that...

I put the dead batteries inside their place and soldered two wires to + an - of the last one, passed it to power. I had no idea this could cause problem! My methods may seem wired but I am sure that's how one of my weirdo caveman ancestors discovered fire :)

marjon I think you may have something there. I once tried to repaire a tape-player and it became a radio instead! And rob1miles you must have psychic powers. I did it once unfortunately. I had to get all the dashboard and dials rewired after that fire :) Blackburn the batteries were not...

When you say ‘installing’ what did you connect to what? And is your Landy -ve earth? Yes -ve. I put 4 empty AA batteries in and passed two wires from the power supply on the dash to + and - end of one of the batteries. A bit unusual but theoretically it is a proper circuit. Did not work! Is...

Good day I tried installing and powering up (from car's electrical system) an old camplight which works with 4 AA batteries in back of my landy and to my surprise it did not work. My know-it-all neighbour who was passing by gave me a wiseman to village idiot look and mumbled something about AC...

Yes original LR pdf stuff. I think with your guys comments I will be able to do it. I'll try to find a mech who will let me use his shop for a fee. This is a great idea for a business I am surprise nobody is doing it. Thanks everybody.

I'd never heard that name till this post. We have Canadian tires which is a DIY heaven and they have a tool brand called Mastercraft. Thay sell many other brands as well and every town has a Canadian tire (at least in Quebec).

Here are some photos. The removed diff is what was there before.

Although I greatly appreciate your help I would need a more step by step thing. Please keep in mind you are talking to a mechanical ignoramous. However even at my level of knowledge I imagine there would be a lot of blood as they say in Western movies (oil). What to do about it? Also if I...
