Post by: Fuddy as muck on March 12, 2007, 18:41:22: Looks nice and tidy 8) Good to see that you have a VERY typical Landy leak on your driveway :lol: And at the very least i'd leave it in gear unless you want to eat your food off a series 3 instead of a table :shock:

Post by: craftycarper on March 13, 2007, 10:10:20: handbrake is fine, but i also leave it in gear old habit from other motors especially living on a hill :lol: yep the usual leak, it's coming from the drain plug on the box, gonna drain it down this week and stick a load of plumbing tape on the thread to see if that cures it.
Bought of a guy who sorta refurbs them so i will have to do the history side of it and see where she served.
Also has a fully working arctic heater in her so only has two front seats, and the battery is in the middle at the back behind the heater which i will probably stick back under the hood. Can't wait till the weather changes and get the canvas off. :D :D

Post by: Robbo on March 13, 2007, 15:36:28: New plug is only about 50p or so, So it might be worth ordering a new one, I think the oil might dissolve plumbers tape and then it might go inside box and add problems......
