    Series 2a Diesel Won't Start

    Hello, I've been scratching my head over this for a week or so now. I recently got a 1969 Series 2a 109 Station Wagon, she needs plenty of work to get back to good condition but the chassis is good and most of the bodywork is in decent condition. It was a diesel from the factory, but at some...

    Series 2a air intake from elbow tube to carb not holding

    Hello, not sure what to do regarding the rubber tube that has a metal ring to fit onto the carb perfectly. Problem is when tightening the tube to the carb it does not grip due to the metal ring. Do I just need to seal it with a glue!? It just sits loose on the top. Please help!

    Series IIa/3 engine noise, any ideas please.

    I have a clattering which sounds like amplified tappets. Started suddenly without any warning and fortunately just outside the gate. Engine still starts easily and runs. Plenty of oil pressure and oil to the rockers. No obvious problems with tappets when run with rocker cover off and hard to...

    Mystery body part

    I'm dismantling a '67 IIA and I'm down to the bare chassis and disconnected engine waiting for the engine hoist and replacement chassis to arrive! In taking the vehicle apart (thank goodness for angle grinders!) the bulkhead was in pretty good shape except for the lower outside corners. The tie...

    New to the Forum

    I thought I should warn everyone that although I'm a Series IIA Land Rover for the last 8 years, I'm about to embark on a chassis swap. I'm quite handy with tools and know less than I probably should before attempting such a thing. So ... I may be back here for advice, help, words-of-wisdom and...

    How Do I? Unidentified Caliper (er.. and rest of axle)
