Tony B Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Note boot marks on bonnet? :-D Having seen the crime scene, I'm STILL trying to work how the Volvo leapt across the road and bit the original. Knowing how long from delivery to pictures, I'm impressed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Ives Posted July 14, 2008 Author Share Posted July 14, 2008 ok so the new landy made it ok to ardingly and seems to be running ok towing a full trailer and the loadbed full as well still a little bit bumpy as the springs settle down but a very good run nearly ran out of clutch fluid but lucally phil reminded me to check the resivour and it was empty so possibly a leak there need still to replace the speedo gear spigot thing and paint her before the next show at ringmer in sussex but with pressure now off i can take my time and do things right next set of photo's will be taken at ringmer show now a happy bunny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Proper job mate! Nice to get the first one down succesfully. The short bit from slave cylinder round bulkhead seems to be the favourite leak point for Landy cluthches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest catweazle (Banned Member) Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 succesfully. The short bit from slave cylinder round bulkhead . :nono::nono::nono:NEver had that.9 out of ten slave leaks into bellhousing done dozens,make sure theres no fluid running down pedal ,if so recomend you do both,use genuine if you can.:-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Trying to remember the history of leacks on this one. Remember a fortnight ago it was sitting in the yard, having come out of Withams a couple of years ago, having sat for who knows how long in some army base. Dave has done about 6 months work in a couple of weeks on the beast. If all thats happening is a leack, great result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
