Thread: What did you do on your Landy today?

Changed the housing, replacing both the front crankshaft and camshaft seal's and then being the next thing to put back, I looked at the front timing case cover with the integral fan hub bearing and it's hub. Guess what! the hub flange has a piece broken out of one of it's threaded bolt hole's and with not enough thread left to hold the bolt, one of the four that fastens the pulley to the hub's flange.

Having brought a couple of new fan hubs, a while ago from maxi drive, I set forth to swap out the damaged hub and install one of the new spares.

Spent a whole afternoon making a really schmick puller out of a threaded portion of a old viscous fan coupling, when screwed onto the threaded boss for the viscous hub, it worked well enough to move the hub partly up the shaft and then all the threaded boss broke off the hub. .

Last week I put on new 245/75 Maxxis Bighorns. They look great on a Disco1



Yesterday I got half way through a timing belt change and discovered oil residue in the timing cover, so probably going to wait until next week when I can replace the crank seal before I finish the job. What I really WANT to do, is put it back together and go for some 4x4'ing this weekend and pretend the oil seal can wait...

Today I installed an EGT gauge.

Fitted new aux belt and tensioner to finally stop that annoying squeak.

Finished timing belt job from last week and engine is running.

Picked up from a local property, a Series 2A that has been cut down and made into a trailer
Chassis No. 39706123D
Comes up as a 2A 109 Six Cylinder, Suffix D 1967-68, 3 Modifications


Cheers, Mick.

Ordered a ribbon cable to repair my radio display on the L322.....I wonder if I'll be good enough to fix it!
I believe it's quite tricky.

Nothing again this week...... Really.........

new front shocks, toymotor 60 series. looks like a better fit for the Isuzu now looking at front spring coil retainers and cones.
