Common Upgrades & Problems - Feedback Appreciated
Posted: Tue Mar 18, 2014 7:17 am
Hello Everyone
My name is Kris and i have recently purchased an 82 stage 1 Landy. I am located in Victoria Australia.
The costly stuff
Currently at the mechanics getting the once over and have ran into the following so far
1. Running on 6 cylinders, maybe something to do with the camshaft - waiting on feedback from mechanic
2. Front wheel has negative camber for one reason or another
3. Charge light comes on when at low idle, flat battery has already been encountered, assuming alternator buggered.
4. Shudder at about 80kms when foot off the throttle
Has anyone encountered the above problems and has any feedback? Would be much appreciated.
Is there anything worthwhile doing now (upgrades) whilst at the mechanics assuming the camshaft needs to be looked at to diagnose the lack of compression and firing of 2 cylinders?
The fun stff
I have repaired the body work and am contemplating the paint / colour.
What do you guys recommend?
I was thinking a matte dark grey with matte black above the steel midline and bonnet?
Thoughts?
Thanks for inclusion into the group. Cant wait to get the beast up and running "firing on all cylinders"
