Thanks mate. I was sent some Tef-Gel, which is an Australian made anti seize grease so will give that a go. Definately no power tools on these bolts! Guido

Thank you for that Lynall. I tried getting zinc plated in the correct length without success, so went for 316 stainless, which are about 1/4 inch longer than the old bolts. I will be using matching 316 nylock lock nuts and a stainless washer on top of the other washers. Cheers Guido

Righto then. I shall see if I can remove the filter in the main body of the air cleaner. If it is too difficult I shall just rinse the filter with kerosene or diesel while it is in the body of the cleaner. At least I will be able to clean the filter from the base section easily. Will be a few...

Hello all I was away for a few days and have not managed to sort out the air cleaner yet. At any rate I decided to attached some photos to better describe what I have in my air cleaner. My vehicle is a 1964 2A Series 109, which has been fitted with a Series 3 2.25 litre diesel. From the...

Hi Steve The gauze that is in the upper body is is just slightly above the lower edge of upper body and is fairly stuck in there Right, so it looks like I have two gauze filters instead of one because one is stuck in the body. I will try and remove it and see how we go from there. Thanks for...

Hi Chaps In regards to this post, am I clear there is only one wire gauze filter in the oil bath air cleaner or 2 filters? I have a 2.25 diesel on a Series 2A which has the oil bath air cleaner. I can easily remove the top and base from the air cleaner and also remove the wire gauze filter...

Hello all I managed to unbolt the nut and remove the pivot bolt. The is in very good condition. I cleaned several layers of paint from the hex head and the initials stamped into the head indicat the bolt is UNF thread. It is 1/2inch x 1 3/4 inches. It appears to have a sheradised type coating...

Thanks for that Lynall. I spent quite some time searching before I sent my post and I would have to say I could not find any nuts similar for sale, even among British speciality suppliers.. Do you think that I would be able to undo the sinch nut like a normal nut, or would it damage the...

Hello folks Guido here from Downunder. I have a question or two about the large pivot bolt on the bulkhead which acts as a hinge for the windscreen. I have one original bolt and nut on the passenger side of the bulkhead pivot but am missing the bolt, nut and washers on the driver's side...

Hi Steve Thanks for sending those references to me regarding my temperature sender for my Series 3 engine. I did some research and it looks like I can purchase the adapter bush which which screws into the engine head (part ERC 9432 and a suitable copper washer) and then get a temperature sender...

Thanks Bobsticle. I think I will go with an electric sender unit from the engine head when I replace the old sender unit. Guido

Thanks Steve2286w. Very much appreciated for the diagram and the direction you have sent me. Confirms the temperature sender was electric, as was probably the missing gauge from the bracket on my dash. Looks like I will have to get at least the threaded bush that screws into the engine head and...

I forgot to attach photos of the sender unit. As there are no temperature warnings on my 2A dash or instruments, presumably the remains of the other 52mm bracket would have housed a temperature gauge at some point. Thanks again and sorry for the grammatical and spelling errors. It has been a...

Hello all Guidoma from downunder with a question on the coolant temperature sender for a Series 3 2.25 litre diesel. My 1964 Series 2A 109 landy had a Series 3 2.25 diesel installed at some time during its previous life. Anyway I thought the engine coolant sender was a capillary type, but when...

Thanks for that mystery. I will make some inquiries at one of our Jaycar electronic stores tomorrow. I am sure they will have what I need. Guido.a

Hi mystery. I will follow your advice regarding placing a resister on the charge light circuit. By chance I came upon a you tube clip last night where a bloke was having problems with his series 2a battery going flat. He found the charge bulb had blown so the alternator wasn't getting a signal...

Hi steve and mystery. What an excellent idea. I honestly didn't think of a circular label plate, there may just be enough room to fit one, then I can put the charge light back where it belongs. It is the original 2A series red dash warning light with its incandescent bulb and bulb holder, so if...

Hi folks Guidoma here from Australia again. Regarding my Series 2A LR, someone has drilled an oversize hole where the alternator/charge warning light is normally positioned on the dash panel and the hole was plugged up with a rubber grommet. The hole is about 25mm diameter, and the red charge...

Thank you for that Lynall. I shall have a good look at the switch and either replace it or relocate it when I do up the Old Girl. Guidoma

Okey Dokey Thanks
