My dad had a 1966 diesel land rover in the same green as this one.i was about 9 years old when he had it.i remember the red&yellow 4 wheel drive select sticks well.noisy thing,but loved the sound of tge diesel engine.it started every time without fail&was deff 100 times more reliable then the modern electronic crap nowadays
You can switch from low to high range "easily" because 3rd low range is very close to 1st high range. The tricky bit is timing the shift because the transfer case gears aren't synchronized.
Sometimes when I do that it stays in 4 wheel, so what I do is stop then put it in reverse go back a few meters then push red lever forward and then it is fully out of 4 wheel 😊just a little tip there
The reason it stays in 4wd is transmission windup occuring when 4wd is engaged when traversing hard road surfaces. Your technique of reversing a few metres helps relieve the windup and then disengagement becomes easy.
@@78a67h hi there, my yellow lever is not popping up, I'll try driving in reverse next week when I get home to my land rover. What is transmission windup? is a common issue or I have to replace a part so it wont happen again. I'll appreciate your help.
@@aavenderr Your yellow lever should pop up when you pull the red lever all the way back, as shown in the vid. You must know that on Series LRs you should only use 4WD on loose surfaces eg mud, snow, sand, dirt roads but not on hard tarmac. Transmission windup will occur if you break this rule in which case you may lose vehicle momentum and steering becomes difficult or impossible. The transmission components will come under undue strain and bind, but this problem is only temporary provided you stop asap. To correct things reverse a few metres and disengage 4WD. If you keep repeating this mistake, especially for extended periods, transmission components will fail prematurely due to overloading or you may even suffer a catastrophic failure while on the go signaled by a loud bang.
I'm thinking of getting a 1980 series 3 ffr ex mod, but they say it will only go into gear when engines off. Dyou know anything about this or could it be commented to these levers? He wonders if its to do with the clutch going.
My series 3 has developed a problem push the yellow lever down pull the red back and it springs up but the red lever is jammed in the center, Any ideas what might be the problem iv tried reversing but it won't go in to high range 2 wheel drive or 4 wheel low range
I just bought a 1979 Land Rover 88 Series III Santana and I need to refurbished the car, can you give me name of places that I can buy parts and accessories for this car., thank you
Man were same.i was like 7 or 8. Dad had 1 once..was sold due to change new car.. Nonetheless we got chance on on rough road a year before it was sold...
That’s correct. This can be solved by installing free wheeling hubs on the front axle. But then you need to get out of the vehicle to engage them when you want four wheel drive.
You cannot shift from Hi 4wd back to Hi 2wd (yellow knob) on the go! But you can in a Willys Jeep and this is an advantage over the Land Rover configuratuion.

Beautiful in the simplicity. No electronics needed!
Thanks was useful, just borrowed a 1958 Land Rover and had no idea why is it going very slow only in 3 gear it was in low range, now works good :)

thank you i just inhereted 88 series 2A and now i know what is the red and yellow knob
Just bought one with overdrive. Learning the rest here.

Now throw a PTO or overdrive into the mix :)
Perfect just what I needed thanks Harry !!
Do the front hubs need to be locked for 4wd to function?
Yes but not all landrovers have locking hubs
Nice old Landie 👍🏻. thanks for the video
Do u need to push the clutch in when u go in to low range
The yellow knob is 4 wheel drive high range.
It is a land rover with wonderful specifications ♪
Commentaire en Francais.Mercie!!!!
I never new why I couldn't put the yellow nob down when in low range but now I know
my yellow stick is not popping up when the red stick is lowered to disengaged. IS there an easy fix or a major issue? I'd appreciate your help

I had an 88" series 2 and have just realised I was missing on something.

Hi front Costa Rica, i have a question. Is necesary depress de clutch for change the red know?
Not at all just be in neutral for main gearbox
So why do you need the yellow control? Can't you just slap red into low range if you suddenly find yourself needing it?
Yellow engages high range 4wd.
In normal road use the vehicle is only in high range 2wd.
whem I put yelow down, i will have my diff locked or not ?
very interesting, so in low you're only ever in 4wd, so you can't be low 2wd?

How many gear levers has land rover 109series 2
Would be useful if there was sound!
Thanks u saved us
Thanks mate👍
Why start in low range and shift to high in speed? I have a 53 modell and there you start in 1 high like a regular car.
Towing, starting on a steep incline that goes onto the flat. I've done this many times as the gas station was lower than the main road
I can tell you're driving a Series III.
Series one.
@@Howiedewitt123 that large plastic bulkhead says otherwise.
Your moms a series III
@@bradmagill5047 LOL!
Dude did you managed to buy yourself a Land Rover at age 16?
Well this has helped

So does the old Landy not have a 4H mode? Only 2H and 4L?
Yellow level down is 4H.... Red lever back 4L. Red lever forward and yellow lever up 2H
push yellow lever down and red forward and it is 4h

78a67h No, but you can shift from 2WD high to 4WD high without using the clutch at full speed, just press the yellow knob!
Yeah but Jeeps EAT transmissions, i know I had TWO and both destroyed their gearboxes so I bought a PROPER 4x4!
prueba en campo m imaigo... por favor...
سيارة مذهلة
Um that's too quiet for a landy
Dude is that ah hole in your hand
LAST RIDE
it's one of those sweaters where you put your thumb out through a hole and keep your hand warm during cold weather
nah still confused!
Toujours pas de Francais:damage!!!!

"Low wheel drive" ?????? Useless!!
you forgot it is a synchro smash gear box
