			<content:encoded>1973 Series III here.  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??  Thanks for your help!  </content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Hello all,<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I have just acquired this &quot;new for me&quot; '67 2a 109.  I knew the clutch was bad, so I picked it up using a U-Haul trailer and brought it back to North Vancouver.  I decided to just pull the gear box back 20 centimeters inspect and remove the clutch.  The previous owner had said the clutch was fine and the vehicle drove normally just a few days before, so why I wondered if the clutch was suffering from a rear main or gear box input shaft oil leak.  What I found was a clogged drain, a very rusty (but dry) clutch cover, a completely worn out clutch disc (right down to the rivets), a very rusty flywheel, and a caked on mass of burnt clutch dust inside the bell housing - about 5mm thick.  It did not appear wet near the bottom (assuming that's where oil would have gone), but it had coated everything in there pretty consistently.  Brake Cleaner removed most of it with little effort.  So I'm thinking that I do not have a rear main seal leak or a transmission input shaft leak.  I also verified that the vehicle has the 9.5&quot; clutch.  I have a few questions at this point...<br />
1. Should I change the throw out bearing? It does not appear to make any noise.<br />
2. If yes, is this behind a small cover in the bell housing, and if this is removed, will it drain gear box hydraulic fluid?<br />
3. The clutch cover appears to have a steel triangular shaped central hub that mates with a similar size disc on the input shaft.  This would be metal/metal contact in operation.  Should this be lubricated when assembling?<br />
4. Unrelated, there are no reverse lights.  Where is the reverse light switch located?  I see no electrical connections on the gear box.<br />
Any input would be appreciated...<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Ok, so I&#8217;m just a little older than my &#8216;59 Series II. But it is magnitudes stronger than me: I don&#8217;t feel like lifting a super heavy lid that houses a tire I will probably never use. I&#8217;m running LT235/85 R16.<br />
<br />
There&#8217;s the problem in a nutshell. I&#8217;ll probably never use it but what is a Land Rover without a tire in front?<br />
<br />
So I&#8217;d like to replace it with something narrower and lighter. Both the tire and the steel rim. All it has to do is work with the other three to get me someplace for a repair.<br />
<br />
Any suggestions as to how to go about this will be appreciated. Thx]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Hello everyone.<br />
<br />
Has anyone installed the LBZ EGR Delete kit from EGR Performance on a daily-driven Duramax? I&#8217;m researching the benefits and possible downsides before making a purchase. I&#8217;ve been reading reviews about improving airflow, lowering EGTs, and reducing soot buildup, and I&#8217;m considering getting an LBZ EGR Delete from EGR Performance for my truck soon.<br />
<br />
Did you notice any gains in throttle response, fuel economy, or overall reliability after the installation?<br />
<br />
I&#8217;d also like to know how difficult the install was and whether tuning adjustments were necessary afterward.<br />
<br />
Any long-term issues, check engine lights, or towing performance improvements would be helpful to hear about.]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[The blade and holder seem to have disappeared on my Series.  And that doesn&#8217;t seem to be a part I can find anyplace.<br />
<br />
Does anyone have any suggestions?<br />
<br />
Also the blades look real good, provided it doesn&#8217;t do more that drizzle. Has anyone replaced theirs with something more robust? Is the issue fitting something else to the motor, or the strength of the motor?<br />
<br />
Thx all]]></content:encoded>
