Scallops has a happy breakdown!

hi dan,
good to see you found the fault,
i had a simlar thing in a vanguard many years ago,
big bang and the thing stopped,
turned out the hot plug lead jumped out of the coil.

i would suggest you do a bit more looking around,
old cars don't break all the time if you do preventative maintenance.
its a credit to all involved in getting your classic land rover going,
now i think it needs a thorough inspection to sort out all those little things that may fail in the future.
you have sufferred too many break downs since getting her on the road.
willing to assist any time, i hate seeing good things buggered up by little snags.

Wait for the day when you get to pass the knowledge onto someone else and then hear that they've put your instruction to good use.

Dave - you are so right, and if I might have thanked your reply 100 times I would....glad I could be an example of such a person for you....your patience and effort helping me have payed off, and I for one, shall never forget that.

Oops - forgot this is a Series LR owners thread! :spudnikcry:

:D Sounds like a plan - it would surely be a fun afternoon too! :)

Well, I don't need to look too hard to find things to sort....the rear main is shot so I'm going to be busy....If I'm pulling an engine out, might as well have it out for a few weeks and sort anything else whilst I'm there, and your assistance would be very welcome. :)

You know folks, I reckon I've grown since I became a part of this LR world....and that doesn't happen without good stewardship - again, I thank you all for helping me to help myself. :)

Diana, I have some parts to pick up off that same vehicle, so if you want a hand give us a hollar, I might even be able to bring the Scallops with me.:)

Cheers, Mick.

Great works Dan. You're an inspiration to me ;)

If I can do it you certainly can.... SLOW will be good for you too, Josh....it's all about fixing Series vehicles...when we get a chance to do such things regularly, we can all learn...:)

Kinda like the GCLRO Workshops, just possibly more frequently :p

SLOW will likely have (potentially) weekly workshops....and all to do with Series vehicles. I'm not going to try to fix Grover. I have never heard of a GCLRO Series workshop, but if one happens, I'll be there too!

But if you do want to learn about your Series vehicle, SLOW is there to help and will certainly be well placed to do so....you'll only get something out of it if you get involved. :)
