Hoping for some troubleshooting suggestions. for no apparent reason my blinkers and break lights both stopped working mid-drive yesterday. When I move the blinker switch, the interior green arrows do not light up and the blinkers outside do not work. And no break lights now either. When I put the Hazards on, the interior green blinker lights both work and the blinker lights in the back both flash like they should. Where do I begin??

My 1965 Series 2 has developed a horrific clattering sound in 2nd and 3rd gears around the shifter/transmission tunnel area. Drained the transfer box and theres some yellow sparkles in the oil. So thinking theres a rebuild to do now. I don't have the space or a barn to rip it out and try to tackle it myself so a British shop it must be.

After calling around to a few places (the Sonoma/Marin California region), everyone seems to have no issue scheduling a drop off in the coming months; however, one shop immediately said that he can't get all the parts and the ones he can are going to be months out on order.

Has anyone here recently had or heard of this issue? I can't believe with such a following that no one can rebuild a Land Rover 2 gearbox anymore and source the parts to do so. But I also don't want to feel blindsided if someone puts it into pieces and I get dreadful news it can't be saved.]]> WineCountryRover https://forums.roversnorth.com/forum/land-rover-technical-forums/land-rover-series-i-ii-iia-iii/193689-transfer-box-transmission-rebuild-parts-availability https://forums.roversnorth.com/forum/general-discussion/general-discussion-area/193678-replacing-series-2-ignition-cylinder-with-one-that-uses-a-larger-key Fri, 05 Jun 2026 13:15:06 GMT
I don’t want to take my cylinder out before finding one because sure as tootin’ if I do not only will I have trouble getting it back in but that could be the kiss of death, making any possible alternative unobtainium.

Does anyone have a picture of what the cylinder looks like to point me in the right direction? I don’t care OEM etc. However all I seem to find are cylinders with the two tabs surrounding the keys ie older Detroit style and I don’t think this will fit around my light selection switch.

Or better, a model number or suggestion?

I recently agreed to sell my ’66 Series 2a 88 to a good friend of mine. 12 years ago, this same friend met me on the other side of the country to inspect the truck prior to my purchase and made me promise that he would have the first chance to buy it if I ever decided to sell.

The only problem… I live in Florida, my friend lives in NW Pennsylvania.

My friend has a grand road trip adventure in mind; flying down to FL and driving with me in the Rover up to PA (roughly 1,400 - backroad miles). I’ve mapped out a route where we would take 5 days, driving between 5 & 6 hours a day averaging 45 - 55 mph, with sightseeing along the way.

The trip is, tentatively, scheduled for mid June (June 13th - 18th) and now my anxiety levels are starting to creep up.

I’ve done a lot of work to the truck in preparation for the sale - Replaced the carburetor, replaced rubber brake hoses with stainless braid…. replaced all of the wheel cylinders and front brake shoes… replaced both front hub & locking hub seals/bearings/races etc… bled, greased, topped up every fluid I could think of, and flushed the radiator… inspected shock bushings and replaced as needed. The tires & spare are approx. 10 year old (garage kept) XZL’s with good tread.

So I think the truck is as ready as it can be for the trip.

Still… I haven’t driven the rover much in the past few years, and, although I’ve never had a mechanical issue out on the road, I’ve also never driven the rover on any trip more than ~ 100 miles each way. So, to be honest, I’m a little worried.

It goes without saying… Our wives are totally against the idea.

We welcome any company along the way, whether classic rover or modern. Alternatively, if anyone was a member of the old Birmabright Brotherhood and might be willing to help out should problems arise, I'd welcome your offer.

I'll post a picture of the general route below...
