Lazarus Landy Lives!
« on: 20 December 2008, 22:25:34 »
 ;D After many months it`s finally done!.......Lazarus; my (old-aged) Series III LandRover has risen from the dead!

With a thoroughly cleaned, stripped and fully rebuilt gearbox (I discovered that the failure mode was some reverse idler-gear teeth missing & idler shaft badly-worn).

My nephews and I installed the (now) sparklingly-clean gearbox and transfer-case 'lump' yesterday: that job went well (despite the poor weather) and the only problem was the discovery of two missing bolts for the prop-shaft to rear-diff flange; `goodness knows how they got lost, as I ziploc-bagged everything during the tear-down?

Lazarus Landy`s gears are now sweet-shifting and significantly quieter....and, (most importantly) I can go backwards again......Yay! ;)

In allusion to John's Gospel account of the resurrection of Lazarus: the name is often used to connote apparent restoration to life.
Aged 25 and following many years laid-up; Lazarus Landy came back to life (and daily usefulness). ;)
