It sounds like you may have bent a conrod. looks like a complete stripdown is on the cards.

Post by: ausieg on July 20, 2009, 18:49:40: Remind me again of the connection between a bent con rod and reverse gear :-k
Title: Re: drowned landrover need help
Post by: extreme90 on July 20, 2009, 20:07:23: running on 3 will either be a injector or a bent rod.....i'd expect to see a bent rod personally
reverse is dead simple, reverse light switch and the plunger will be siezed

Post by: casper on July 21, 2009, 17:00:43: yeah thanks funny enough i had the same thought on way home from work think i will drain fuel and put fresh in it for the sake of 40 quid it is worth it
