Home made mechanics!!! , actually I spent ten years working in a back street garage in the Midlands, admittedly the first 6 years was purely Sat n Sundays and full time in holidays (aged 10 - 16) then full time after A levels, Rebuilt my first A series as a project at 12 , V8'd a transit for the garage owner to use for recovery at 14 and owned and worked on Landys countless times over the last 20 Years (in May)...so home made mechanic not a chance (time served in the trade as well!)
How dare you level a comment like that across the board at a group who have far far more experience than you, irrespective if some have learnt through necessity at home or some through trade experience, As a trained Landy mechanic has now added the advice you've received is on the correct lines, as youve been told its not uncommon.
With comments like that I have to say Im glad your next vehicle won't be a green oval, might I suggest a pushbike, hopefully mechanically that will be within your reach and you will not need to level sarcasm at people who have suggested answers based on your description of your problem.

In future feel free to pass comment on posters if and when you actually know the background of the people you are referring to.

End of the day Landys are probably the biggest simplest meccano kits you could ever come across, even my 10 year old happily helps out on many jobs, bigger and more fun than lego, however he does have the sense to listen to advice when given by those with experience.

Cheers Steve

OOOHH ok then,maybe you might be better to keep your comments to yourself if you dont like the response,I did tell you that I WASNT blaming you or anybody else,it would be nice to have constructive comments,not a slanging match on this forum,after all I was originally only asking if anybody had any ideas on the nature of my problem,not for somebody to slag me off and tell me I dont know what im doing! which isnt fair as you dont know me and i dont know you,theres absolutely no need for all this,I started off having a chat with L9l00k not you

your the one who posted this not anyone else

the only other comment was extreme 90 who said you were being fleeced at £140, thats not slating you thats his experienced opinion knowing how easy it normally is to solve a sticking pin.

as for the diaphragm being seized... Its Not... you even stated yourself you turned it using the nut (why I have no idea), it moves ergo its not seized. The eccentric and pin if seized will make it very awkward if not impossible to remove..... you were told this but insist on adding that its not, you were then told this again by Bigger Landy who is a time served Landy Mechanic...

[Edited] ever heard the phrase 'You can lead a horse to water'

Im sure if you'd have posted can anyone come round and help someone local probably would have, I certainly have run out to peoples houses or had them turn up at mine several times

But comments such as yours above will result in little or no help, if you obviously aren't interested in the posters opinions who all agree (incl one trained Landy Mechanic cos we are only home made) then feel free, pay your £140, hurry up and sell it and we will go back to helping the myriad of people who come on here genuinely prepared to listen to the voices of experience...

Feel free to turn off the lights on your way out :)

and for the record nobody has said you were blaming me, it was simply pointed out that if you hadnt removed the diaphragm you clearly hadnt followed the steps I had carried out on my 90....


Cheers Steve
