Hi, My LC started over heating today. Not quite getting in to the red on the gauge but almost. I assume it's the thermostat so will try this first. But I noticed the excess water is not going into the overflow pipe. Are the water pumps known to go on these? Any help with be useful thanks.

Hi. I don't have any dashboard lights working. Never had. And the alternator won't charge. The previous owner connected a manual glow plug switch. Must have bypassed the pre heat timer. Looks like the heater timer controls much more than just the glow plugs. The alternator won't charge either...

Hi, What is the biggest tyre size that will fit on a 1989 round eye LJ70 with standard 15 inch wheels? I have 31s on at the moment. Cheers, Simon

Is it possible to change LJ70 solid 12.5mm front discs to vented 20mm? I ask because I am finding it difficult to find a replacement for a broken solid disc caliper for my 89 LJ. Whereas 1990 calipers are readily available (cheaper). Cheers

Hi. Are the brakes on the LJ70 known to be a bit rubbish? I have checked the discs and pads and the piston movement and all good. Could it be the servo? Cheers

The 'Engine' fuse keeps blowing. Really annoying as supposed to Be going to Salisbury Plains tomorrow. So the'engine' fuse blows when you turn the key. However the engine will crank/ starter motor turns over. But obviously the glow plugs etc can't heat up. Does anyone know a common short...

Hi, Spent quite a bit of time removing a pointless supercharger from my LJ70 and replacing it with a stock CT20. She runs much better now and no annoying whine from the SC. I would like to refit a turbo switch but not sure of the part number or how/ where to fit it. Any photos anyone? Cheers...

Hi, I have a refurbished and tested alternator fitted to my LJ70. It will give 14v on the bench (according the auto electric guy) but nothing in the LC. Also the battery light does not come on when the ignition key is turned. Battery voltage gauge works. I have checked the battery LED on the...

Hi, There is a whine from the gearbox. It gets better the more I drive. I am hoping it is just low on oil and driving it kicks up the oil and quietens it down? Planning to change the gearbox oil over weekend. Gearbox works perfectly apart from the whine Simon

Hi, The sunroof is jammed shut. The roof lining/ carpet was soaking inside so I thought I would remove the roof lining check the drainage pipes were still connected. Drainage pipes were connected ok. I assume they are blocked hence water is over flowing into the car. I will unblock from the...

It's me again! The battery isn't charging. I am going to check the alternator with a multi- meter at the weekend. I assume it's the culprit. But thought I would ask if there is any know causes/ issues? For example corroded earthing, wires being worn through etc. Cheers Simon

Hi, Tried to take my LJ for an MOT retest today and it won't start. Battery fully charged so turns over fine. Won't even try to go. Anything that's a common fault i should check? It has been used a couple days ago and started fine. It is quite a lot of white smoke on start up so could it be...

Hi Everyone, The LJ70 had been sorn for a few years so needed an MOT. Took it to the MOT garage today. I am expecting a long read when it's finished! One thing I noticed driving it was the steering had quite a lot of play. I am assuming it's the steering box. Do you guys know a good place to...
