[oldlandy88]

the good old 21/4 petrol sound so nice i have one in mine but with added zing a 1"3/4 su and a 1"3/4 tail pipe just the BEST engine ever keep your chevy v8s the rover P4 may not be fast nor powerful but it will slog all day long

[MrMexicanwrestler]

Nice - after a spell without mine (see my touching vid) I can now go have some fun

[rhynolinde]

Awesome Landy. I see it has South African (Cape Town - back and Hermanus - front) number plates?!?

[charlotteemily]

Off roading, love it... iv got a 1974 LRS3.... beautiful Vehicles

[theconemen]

does your landy have a reverse light because i have a series 3 1978 and im not sure if it needs a reverse light to pass its M.O.T

[MegaGevehr]

Great video!

[my1999porscheboxster]

what's better a series II or III

[nicholmesza]

@my1999porscheboxster It really depends on what you term better... The series two, early models had a 2.25L 4 bearing (main crank bearings) and the later models, which then became the SII A had a 5 bearing 2.25L, which was more reliable and got used in the III's as well. The main difference between the SII/IIA and SIII is really the gearbox and drive shafts, and some minor cosmetics inside, such as a more car like dash opposed to the central instrument panel and individual wiper motors per side.

does that landy have a reverse light, cos mine the same year and it doesnt have one im just woundering if it had been removed lol

[mollyandtiger]

Do you do axle twisters in 1st or 2nd gear.

[ilikecookies3279]

I do them in first, but it depends on what type of axle twister you are doing and what vehicle you are driving. For the series up to the TD5, I would suggest first, but with a TDCI, the first is so low that you can use second.

[tiny586]

Is the number 846 possible or necessary ???

[thelynchster1]
