This is an upcoming project for me, so this was very helpful. I’ve done this once before but your tips will improve my results.

Hi There, I'm looking to fit some driving lamps similar to how you did yours. Just wondering did you bolt straight to the front apron, or did you put in any strengthening? Curious to know if you get any "bounce". Also how did you connect to the main/dip stalk circuit - did you cut into the wiring or is there a another way?

Good to see you're keeping it! What was the brand of the other pump? I've got a GMB pump for my 2.25d 5mb build. The one on my 2.25p looks original to the engine.

I had a 2B forward control like that, sold it to someone who lived near Castle Howard, Yorkshire. There can't be many left now, glad this one has a good home.

Coincidence I've just ordered a water pump for mine, I chose the "ProFlow" made in UK this time. The current is barely a year old and started making whirring noises.

Another excellent video. I'm currently servicing my Fairey O/D unit from my 1971 109 and I'd like to modify and fit a breather valve. Where do you get yours from ? And is it set to a particular pressure? Thanks in advance.

Glad you're keeping it. I find your videos very informative and use them a lot for information on keeping my 1982 ex military 88 going. I have a couple of genuine, pre Britpart , used water pumps from engines I have broken. I will check them out and see if one may be ok for you to have if you are interested. Just watched your gearbox videos. Gearbox rattles and is getting loud So may be a rebuild. Got a question that you may be able to answer. Will a 2a suffix b box fit a series 3 bellhousing? Lots of different info on web so am confused! Rgds dave

really good until said should be ok, replace condensers as the old ones degrade. just done a BSA B31 mag that had been rewound but now out of balance used the origional condensers. this can give the problem of bad hot starting

@steamwally Ай бұрын

I beg to differ- generally speaking, the usual cause of failure for those old foil/ mica condensers is mechanical damage, perhaps someone being a bit heavy handed re-fitting the contact breaker unit or careless dismantling the magneto. The late Tony Holder (Mr magneto if ever there was) gave me a lesson in condensers when I was learning, it is easy to test them and it was his considered opinion that the original types are always better provided they are undamaged- I'm not going to argue with forty plus years of experience and my own experience echo's his thoughts. Personally, I do sometimes replace condensers but only if they appear damaged, fail testing or when an old shellac armature has leeched all it's shellac into the condenser. Where replacement is required, I have found the "Rifa" type condensers to give excellent reliability and they are usually resin set.

@PDLiggett Ай бұрын

I believe I heard you say you'd like to "get the new engine done"...is that the 2.5 petrol? Would love to see a video series of you completing the rebuild of that engine. I'm pushing through with a conversion of my 5mb 2.25 diesel into a 2.5 petrol--Richard Hall wrote a great article about doing that. Anyhow, many thanks for the update video! ~Pete

@steamwally Ай бұрын

Yes, the very same! Actually, since the last video on that engine I have discovered that the cylinder head is one of ACR's trick conversions, with big inlet valves and about one hundred thou' skimmed off to bump the compression right up.

@jimmsangers8875 Ай бұрын

Dear Mrs Steamwally, I really enjoy your channel for quite some time now . I own a 1975 series 3 88. I have a problem which I want to share with you. The transferbox continues to jump out of high gear. I am sure that the levers are clean and in the right position. It seems like the gear is really pulling the shaft. Could the pre pressure, the alignment with the rope and the scale be the problem? Or any other ideas? Thanks anyway. Hans from the Netherlands.

Good to hear you are keeping it. You would regret selling ng, and all the quality work you have done on it. My son is restoring his ex Norwegian 1974 109, to steam wally standards, your videos have been useful, appreciate your videos and efforts.

@steamwally Ай бұрын

Thank you, I am always pleased to hear that the videos are useful to someone. To be honest, a week of daily driving again has reinforced what a great vehicle a Series Land Rover can be.

@daviddepasque844 Ай бұрын

Greetings from the States! Fine looking 109, I personally think a 109 2 door is the best most useful land rover made, be it a series 2a or 3. I owned a series 3 military 109 ffr for 10 years, currently own an 87 ex mod 90, but that 109 was one of the most reliable Land Rovers I've owned over the last 40 years, I sold it to a friend in 2009 and have regretted it ever since. Keep it and try to find NOS parts to keep it driving. I've owned them since I was 13 and now I'm 54 and I can't be without one.

I bought mine last year, looking at the service history it’s had a total of 2 starter motors in the past 3 years, and then earlier this week the 3rd one failed!! Unfortunately the 2.5 n/a diesel isn’t the easiest to bump start so had to get it recovered 🤦‍♂️

I sold mine, so I'll live vicariously through yours! I just wasn't using it enough, 700 and then 500 miles between MoT's, so it was time to let someone else enjoy it. I still look at others, so never say never! Cheers

@daviemaclean61 Ай бұрын

Given your workshop skills, would it be possible to engineer an adapter plate and install a pump from another vehicle, maybe even another Land Rover? Or, if you're planning on changing the engine soon anyway just live with it, annoying as it is!

I'm sharing your frustrations about parts quality. I'm keeping a couple of old series and a defender around and I notice I keep changing the same parts over and over again while to old stuff with proper maintenance just seems to last forever!

@johnbonafoux5728 Ай бұрын

Thanks the great videos - so useful. I’m currently half way through Series 2 gearbox and transfer box rebuild. Have had the normal failure of the bronze bush on the main shaft. You can buy replacements either as a one piece or two piece part. The later seems a good option as it cant tear itself apart, but seems wrong to me that there is nothing to stop the bush part without the raised flange piece that sits under 3rd speed gear rotating on the shaft if the gear picks up even slightly on the outside of the bush ? Just wondered which you would recommend fitting - the one piece or piece bush ? Thanks again for the videos which have been helpful for these tasks. John

A trick learned many years ago. Put a weak spring on the valve stem when grinding. It will lift the valve from the seating . Makes the job so much less tedious.

Thanks for a really useful video. I've never done a steering box rebuild, but have a reasonable idea of what it should feel like by watching your video. Things like your demonstration of checking the adjuster for sticky threads, making it too tight, and then backing it off to had tightened - brilliant. These are the sort of things that just dont come out of a printed manual. Tomorrow's job will be the overhaul of my S2a steering box.
