so the saga continues after two years of lack of use.......after pressing landy into use on Saturday as rail strike left little alternative to get to a family event, and the middle seat installed so we could all make it. Anyway on way home developed horrible rattle from front of engine, and turns ou...

thanks for that Neil, rivnuts seems to be the way to go, at least one of the loose nuts is bound to fall into oblivion I have no doubt and the lack of welding equipment or a garage with power doesn't help. There are many pluses to being in London, but maintaining an older vehicle seems to be so much...

so having resolved my brakes issue I moved on to fixing my windscreen washer motor cover which had cracked. So undid the 2 screws on right hand side ok, but ran into problems with the bolt on left hand side. Most of the cover came away when the screws were undone just leaving a small piece and the c...

I thought I would do a separate post on my brake issues I first raised on brinv8's back on the road post https://forum.militarylightweight.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=8467&start=10 but thought I would start a new post if anyone else gets similar issues and is as clueless as I am. The good news is that...

I've slowly been going through the boxes (and boxes) of stuff when we moved from Hants back to London in 2015. It's only taken at least 7 years..... Anyway, I have found a small box of 10 studs and wheel nuts. Faint memory suggests that these were supposed to be able to be fitted to the sankey to ch...

Many years ago with my 2A Lwt I had to let to let the tyres down to get it in and out the garage. Fortunately not today. Bob Sadly not an option, as windscreen only just gets under, there's a door on the garage and a barrier into the block so 50 yards on nearly flat tyres. The inflator would need t...

Hi Bob, but is it everywhere or just ebay ? I see the same discussion on other fora and club sites, people who know better have a much more realistic appraisal. There is a similar discussion on Series 2 club forum at the moment with a £13k 2a that club members think is more of a £8-10 vehicle. I gue...

Not sure if there is a separate section for things not recommended or considered as overpriced but saw this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/384976057315?hash=item59a25c73e3:g:2X0AAOSwh8piuvLO for that money I'd be expecting something that you could take to get it tested for an MOT and it would at least g...

David, Discuss! Any "official" modifications carried out while the vehicle was in service (in the services) I would regard as "original'. You need a replacement garage! Mike Mike, cost of renting a garage in London, mmm lets discuss, we are lucky and got a council one in a very secur...

thanks Neil (again), I guess I need to start steeling myself to replace the servo, or at least to get it out of the vehicle (and filter etc looked at). Not found a post on here doing this which was not part of a wider restoration. I remember when dismantling my other project the servo and brake peda...
