I've not seen that suggestion before- thank you for it. If you send it to Greg Field (that's also his user name here), he might include it in the tips section of the MGNOC.

I've got a few suggestions for you, that you haven't seen before.

[Greg Field]

Yes, I'd like to use that. Please send me your name, so I can credit the information, and any other information you have, such as cost.

Do any of them involve ointment?

So, Greg, does that mean there's another book in the works? Very much enjoyed the first!

Glad you asked, I was wondering too. Is chronic leaking from one of the banjo unions a general problem? Which one?

What are they,Dowty washers?

 

Using Landy parts to fix your bike

 

Landy owners usually cannibalise other vehicles to keep theirs on the road.

Thanks. With my bike doing a lot of short journeys, I get a lot of water sitting in there. I took the banjo off and looked in through the socket on the left. I didn't look at the right side and didn't realise that there is a plug there. Maybe it would be good for draining the water out?

 

What are the Land Rover parts for, originally?

I remember Pete saying there is a PCV valve. I can't find it on mine.

 

Where is it?
