CaMpylobacter Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 I grabbed this thing yesterday. Slammed spare carb on it, which leaves the linkages not working so well (don't match up and 90degree adaptor doesn't have the same stud pattern as new carb) Made up some mounts which utilise a Kubota throttle cable, and hook to the landrover linkage on the firewall on the carb side. Sorted the wiring out a bit as water had got to it a little and she fired up like a champ. Don't have choke hooked up but meh. warms up pretty quick. Need to waterblast engine so I can see timing marks and shit properly, and pull dizzy to bits and check points etc. carb seems to work nicely, but she's backfiring back through the carb at low revs. once on song it's lush though. Have burnt up all the old fuel and put 10 litres of fresh shit in and still seems to have the issue. Once that's sorted, and I give the brakes and clutch hydraulics a bit of a tickle, a maori wheel alignment and maybe look at swapping in a better set of front leaves if I can be arsed it'll be all over the place.dic SO lol to drive. couldn't get it stuck at the old man's place today (granted he lives on a completely flat bit of lands but there's a couple of drains and dirtpiles to play on) discuss //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/38706-campylobacters-campylandrover/ 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 So this evening I donned my best Guinness t-shirt, pompom hat, gumboots and stroked my beard lovingly, then dug the landy out of the back yard. Took FOREVER to fire up, ran like balls, and was again backfiring back through the carb and generally couldn't keep the thing running. tweaked the dizzy round to retard the timing by about 30 degrees which smoothened it out, stopped the backfiring, makes it start and run like a champ. Very pleased I don't have to muck with futher tuning of carb etc. Will double check with timing light when I steamclean the block to get rid of concrete spec mud covering everything/tuniung by ear never did me wrong before. have removed the muffler which has blown to bits as it vents on the deck floor which maybe isn't ideal. will cut up workmate's scrap silvia sidepipe up and tack something together that'll sort that out and quieten it down a little. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 another pictureless update. hopefully this weekend coming will have some pics hah. fixed original exhaust but trimmed it down a bit. nice and quiet now. retimed it again. mucked with mixtures again. now runs like a champ checked out the brakes. needs rear shoes, and front shoe coming up. cylinders are fine. master cylinder is buggered though (jamming) so will fix that. clutch hydraulics - still not sure. probably needs a master cylinder. wheel alignment - seems to have a bent pitman arm or something. tierod is wound right in and still toes out hard. fixed it the hori way by bending it with a come along winch. hah! still thinking of doing front springs - right hand one has a broken centrebolt and two broken leaves. lolz. might keep my eyes out for a pair of parabolics. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post CaMpylobacter Posted July 7, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted July 7, 2013 Went for a cruise today. got stuck before even getting to river bed. dodgy track leading down to river which is on the outside of a bend = soft as shit gravel, massive dropoff into roughly 3 feet of water, plus corrsaxling and not picking a decent line AT ALL = me stuck. got a super easy pull backward and I was off. runs like a champ. only other issue to note was hitting a body of water flat out in 4th Lobox, which turned out to be way deeper than engine liked. sucked in a guts full of water and shit. thought, goodbye rods/headgasket/everything but it doesn't seem to have hurt it at all badass 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 so yeah, slammed a thermostat in this thing on sat as it ran colder than a witch's tit and subsequently was a bag of arseholes. also checked all the diff, trans, and front hub oils. was a fair bit of water in the front diff but the drain plug shrouds are all smashed up which means I couldn't get the bungs undone. just flushed all the old oil out by putting a bit of hose into each cavity as deep as I could and pumping new oil in. messy but sorted. after the river escapade the brakes had stuck on, and the clutch rusted solid to the flywheel which made getting it out of the lockup interesting. Need to give the brakes a bit of a birthday now. today a wheel cylinder or something has ruptured and letting fluid out. clutch hydraulics need a tutu with as well. Went and said gidday to the gcsb on the way to a mission this morning then caught up with ol' mate pee-dubz and we went for a bit of a hoon slash reccy for some exercises he's got to organise or something out at the raumai bombing range. was a sweet op to go for a cruise/look at an area that's usually restricted az. A-Framing that distance behind a similarly weighted swb vehicle was a bit sketch at times. the fact that all the rubber has fallen out of the leaf spring bushes right through means the old land rover gets a bit of a wiggle on now and then. running crossply SAT's at 5psi on forestry roads makes anything over 30mph with everything that's worn out is pretty interesting too. roffle so will start to get some bits together and give the old girl a bit more of a birthday over the next whenever. hoping to pick up some front springs from donmcdazzle at some stage as this is one of the main things that holds her back offroad now. little suspension from how sagged the fronts are means any decent crossaxle articulation spots just leave it cast. plus yesterday whilst doing the oils I noticed another leaf on in the left hand pack is broken so only a matter of time 'til it shits the bed primetime pretty impressed with how much useable grunt the 202 has. hammer down over a fairly decent loosely packed dune today was childs play. awesome 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 lol. so went for another huge hoon in this in the weekend. smelt weird when I got back to the end/my parents place. a-framed it home. more burny oil stank. flipped some shit to bits and found a fairly rooted pair of front wheel bearings on one side. other side seems ok but haven't pulled it to bits. will order some new wheel cylinders, brake shoes, and front wheel bearings tomorrow. hopefully not too spendy! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 choice. so did front cylinders and shoes. put original front shoes on rear (linings were falling off rears) and rebuilt rear cylinders. needs another bleed but may need to pressure bleed it/backward bleed. we'll see. anyways, used this thing to haul some logs out of a yuck as gully for firewood yesterday. went like a champ although doesn't like 50% diesel in it's fuel. hah might hit the beach sometime this weekend 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post CaMpylobacter Posted July 6, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted July 6, 2014 still got this thing. lives under a tree at the back of my section. hauled it out with the Allis this afternoon, chucked an optima battery in it that I scored (seems that me doing sweet jumps in it kills standard batteries) and a-framed it down to the beach. Did a sweet High speed run from Tangimoana beach to Foxton and back (via the middle of Himatangi and some back streets cruising for ice cream) Looking out for a cab roof and back wall, still need front springs. Saw 60mph on the speedo. doing about 287402804824029384028304 revs. was expecting the grubby old 202 to chuck a leg out of bed. roflz. 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post CaMpylobacter Posted September 6, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted September 6, 2014 sold this just now. Don't use it much so thought I'd see if anyone on the tard was keen. Had this awesome joker with a really choice stage1 v8 109 and an epic beard turn up and offer me what I was after so I let her go. Gone to a good home in the pohangina valley to be used for hauling firewood, hooning around, and carting him to the river for summer swims hah. joker told me where he lives and to come out for a burn in the old girl whenever. lolz. he's also got a shit tonne of spares apparently so hopefullywhen i get a roadgoing landy then i'll be able to network with the fella. che! A final look. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post CaMpylobacter Posted August 13, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted August 13, 2015 So I figured instead of making a new thread I'd carry this one on. After selling the Crown and Pajero I've been looking out for a roadgoing landy. I had a pretty broad description as to what I was after but so many just weren't ticking the right boxes on the tard until this gem popped up last week in New Plymouth. Fate would have it that we were headed up those ways for a pissup so I organised a viewing and bought her on the spot! Today me and Ben shot up to New Plymouth today and hauled him home. This one's a grubby '69 S2A 109" Stationwagon running a lovely Holden 186 of bum plundering doom!! From what I can tell it was a factory 2600cc 6cyl model so the conversion is a lot tidier to carry out than in a 4cyl model. The guy I got it from bought it form the Tauranga District council as an abandoned vehicle at the start of this year. She's dereg but in pretty good nick so I'm a happy lad. He's spent quite a few bob on roof and door seals, new door tops, changed out all the oils and shit, and tidied the interior up quite a bit. He's chucked a new gearknob set at it and new gear lever boots and all the shit that people never get around to doing so I'm already ahead of the eight ball. Goes pretty good but is fiercly out of tune (lovely full throttle Holden red engine detonation due to staleish fuel and a poorly timed up dizzy I reckon) and the brakes are pulling all over the place so they need a good adjust up and bleed. Plans are to re-reg, sort out a few bits and bobs and just bomb the hell out of it all summer (hopefully). I'm actually not that well placed to have bought this at the moment with different things taking up all my spare time at the moment but I'll get straight onto it at the start of October! More pics next time I see it in daylight! Discuss! //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/38706-campylobacters-campylandrover/ 26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 off work crook. got super bored so whipped the roofracks off this piece. may *just* fit under my carport now. fingers crossed! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post CaMpylobacter Posted September 17, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted September 17, 2015 been doing a wee bit of fettling. Brakes came up pooze at the rear on the brake rollers at work. LH side shoes were damp with old diff oil. rear diff breather has recently been off and cleaned out. there's the culprit! Wheel cylinders seem pretty new all round so just slammed some new rear shoes at it, gave brakes a bleed (have a weird brake holding delay issue now which may be master cylinder related) and chucked a new set of front seatbelts at it and looked at how much water the radiator is leaking. Few more jobs to do (two tyres are perished, and needs exhaust love and a couple of other bits and pieces) but I'm presenting it for revin tomorrow! Will definitely have a list of things to fix before it's legal but at least I'll have an idea of what I need to crack on with, and best for me: I'll have that 28 day deadline to get it sorted coz we all know I'm a procrastinator unless I've a looming deadline! che also, got a needless, weird, irrelevant plate off the tard to smack on it. If I can't have black plates it might as well have something ridiculous! 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post CaMpylobacter Posted September 18, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted September 18, 2015 OH MEAN. So yeah did't get compeltely finished with a few things. I wasn't completely happy with the brakes, exhaust is still buggered. headlamp adjustment was done by me on the shed wall and I thought it was stil way out of whack, and yeah she's got a couple of rotten looking tyres, but the compliance man was happy as a dog with two dicks with the thing and only kicked me out for the exhaust. Took it straight to exhaust shop once the testing station lad rang me, and will hopefully collect it from there mid morning tomorrow and go get a recheck and win at legality.

Popular Post CaMpylobacter Posted September 22, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted September 22, 2015 been on a few jaunts in the old girl. Currently chillin' with this fly hunny in the driveway. Pretty lol when your tyres are taller than the front of a Triumph. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Radiator was leaky/rotten and it almost completely chernobyled on my wedding day but two big fat cubes of "BRIAX SEALWELL" sealed the leaks as they appeared on the day (was a few decent geysers but let it cool down for a few min, and it'd seal and off we went. hilarious!) Got the radiator recored with a 3 cores deep truck item on the original tanks. $$$$ but well worth it IMO. new water pump, thermostat that wasn't jammed open and new radiator hoses (still trying to source a top one that sits nicely actually, gah!) and we're motoring again. somehow the new core made the fan quieter? PHYSICS! Still trying to decide whether to go for an electric item or what to do. noticed this whilst underneath doing radiator stuff. looks like it was like it pre-revin although I didn't notice it when I was checking all the spring bushes and stuff. that's the front eye on teh front left spring. eek. I want to put parabolics in the front at least though so i'm looking for a reasonably priced pair of those at the moment. still rolling it. probably shouldn't. bangs like a dunny door in a tornado when you're on rough ground so I shal take it easy hah. Probably explains some of the excessive wandering tendencies! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Haven't come across any parabolics that I'm keen on the price of, and for my useage I'm reading mixed reviews so I'm gonna run with stockers for now. whipped front springs out tonight. These run a bit of a weird swining shackle at the rear of the spring - the top part has a thread cut on one plate, which I guess can preload the shackle plates against the chassis bush, then a locknut over top. Once I had the springs out (very easy - was frightened the bolts would be frozen inside the bush crush tubes) I couldn't move the swinging shackle wth even a big bar. Whomever recently replaced the bushes in the rearward end of the spring must've done it up with a rattle gun far too tightly. Probably didn't help the uncompliance of the front suspension! She rides like the only suspension comes from the tyres. Much worse than my last rover. left hand side of the front axle was able to walk by a good 1.5" which is pretty dangerous in all honesty. Made it pretty hard to hold in a straight line when coupled with a fairly sloppy steering box. There's also a fair ridge in the underside of most of the leaves where the next one down slides against it and a bit of rust heave. I'll tidy that up, maybe add some uhmw tape to aid in frictionless win, modify the leaf clamps to have bolts in the top rather than the folded over type and taper the ends of the leaves. May whip one leaf out to add to the ride quality as well and go from there. The bolt type clamps is purely for futureness - easy to pop the bolt off and let the diff hang down and spread the leaves to fire motorcycle chain wax in or something if they need a bit of a lube up. Have had a couple of new main leaves made up by archers in rotorua (6mm stock rather than 3/16" coz they don't carry the 3/16" anymore) Hoping to have them all back in by the weekend. Need to get a couple of centrebolts and a couple of new flap discs for the grinder and I'm good to go. after that, I still need to replace the brake master cylinder, and then move on to the rear springs - they're an afterthought which seems to have been built to take a seriously heavy amount of weight and they don't move much at all. plus the thing's jacked a good 3 or so inches from original so I'm pretty keen to sort that to make it a bit morecomfy. I'll never want to put a tonne of shit in the back so there's no point leaving them as they are. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 oh jesus. What've I done? Blake hooked me up with the dealz on this. 1953 series one 80". 80s are apparently super SUPER rare now, and this one's an ex army one which is pretty cool. His mate Dazza's old man has had this in his backyard for about 20 years. last wof was 1995/96? anyways, sorted a deal and collected it tonight. left a trailer of rust from wanganui (literally, this thing is rainin' rust from teh chassis) everything's fucked. engine is a 186 holden that'd had a full rebuild and covered about 6000miles on CNG before parked. Run a few times since then but whatevz Pretty much that's all I want from it. Will do a few bits and pieces on it then slot it into the 109 when I get to the end of the clutch in that thing's life (slips a little now and then now so will prolly be toward winter next year) has widened steels and super lush (albeit perished a little) 750-16 crossply wranglers. must've been some super rowdy tyres back in the day. hilarious! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 had a fettle with series one tonight.. filled it with water. jumper leads on 20+ year old battery. picked up the piece of firewall that's fallen down that contains ignition switch and gauges (wasn't expecting much) turned key on and push starter button. turr rurrr rurrrr. let it wind over a bit to splash oil round. no spark. points grubby and dead coil. sorted that. big hole in fuel tank (rust) so just squirted a whole lot of crc down the carb, then brake cleaner in the float chamber breather tube thing. turr rurr rurrr vrrommm!!! runs pretty good. started on 5cyl then promptly picked up number six. only a small puff of smoke from the crc i reckon. mean. seems to run a lot quieter than the engine in my good one. whipped three plugs out once it'd run a few minutes and did a compression check. 165-170 on all three. I'm happy with that. while it's out of this thing coz it's easy: - whip the head off and get ol' mate jim to give it a lick with the die grinder. -smash a bit nicer cam at it to give a little more pep and new lifters -play with the dizzy -metal timing gears if not already fitted (this engine was rebuilt and only had a few thousand miles on it apparently so maybe it already has them. was quite whiney up front compared to others) -check bigends and oil pump. -chuck a new water pump etc on and give it a pretty basic tidy up. pretty hilarious. the gearbox crossmember pretty much broke away completely from the chassis while all this was going on. i'm pretty much not gonna try cut a lap round the block in this one haha. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 whipped the engine out just now so much rust falling off in the process. I swept underneath three times already hah. plan now is get engine degreased, onto the engine stand and whip head off and give it to ol' mate g-man for a tickle up bit flasher camshaft check bigend and main bearings few other new bits and pieces then slot it into my 109 with a new clutch. cheeee 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
