Took some pictures of the Land Rover on the drive having been out for a drive on Sunday. I went to the Repair Cafe in Dorchester and then to the tip to get shot of the remainder of the leather sofa. I discovered that the other swivel housing is now leaking oil, so the next job is to replace the oil with the one shot grease as I did a while back in this post https://bhhh.co.uk/2022/04/29/. I did take the land rover out the other evening and advanced the timing to the point where it appeared to still run well at a reasonable rpm. I did this totally by ear and have not tried it since, so we’ll see how this goes, also made the fuel air mixture richer. It’s still not popping on overrun, which I would like to hear, as that would tell me that I was running […]
I have a very minor oil leak from someone around the swivel, probably form the swivel seal. We’re talking over the course of a week perhaps a few drips. Annoying but not a disaster, I had put new oil into the axle and swivels a year or so ago, so I will drain out the oil and replace it with “One Shot” grease, this should to be thicker and hopefully not leak out. I left the oil draining over night so as to get most of it out. Drained the oil out, it looks a little emulsified. The seal and swivel look okay, perhaps the seal is just old and failing to press against the swivel well enough. Next job is do the refill with the One Shot stuff.
