Hi All,

I'm trying to find a Haynes Manual for a 2A 6 cylinder petrol 109 but cannot find one That includes it. 

Does anyone know if they did one?

If not, which would people recommend as a substitute?

Many thanks!

   Hi

  As far as I know Haynes never did a Landrover 6 cylinder help book.
 Land rover did add a supplement for the 6 cylinder forward control into the back of one of there shop manuals as seen in the
 picture. However it was not a lot of help when I rebuilt mine, very limited information.

  There are various interweb manuals out there if you search for them, a lot have to do with rover cars as they used the same engine. Who knows maybe there is a complete manual from landrover on the 6 cylinder, but I never found one.

It's covered in the official Land Rover workshop manual which is available to download from the members' section of the website or buy a paper copy.

Look to the Rover P4 saloon cars. Many had the 6-pot engine fitted (although with slight modifications from the ones fitted into Land Rovers.

For example ....

Else join our club and then you get access to our extensive library of Workshop Manuals and parts books on the website. £30 subs compares well to buying a single manual.

Thank you all For clarifying I wasn't being dim.

I've already downloaded a few from website just really fancied a " go to" book for easy reading!

Thanks again for all your help, appreciate it!

The Later P4 6 cylinder engine ( Used in the 95 & 110 )is very similar to the Land Rover one so the Haynes P4 one ,mentioned above, would give a reasonable basis for work but you would need to make sure one is refereeing to the correct one. Items like timing would need to follow the LR specification

I wouldn't call any Haynes manual 'easy reading'. Personally I find the proper manuals are far more useful, my Haynes sits on the shelf, while the proper book gets used.

The 6 cylinder is covered in the S3 manual.

The 6 pot is covered in the Series 2A manual, section A3, downloadable from the members' section on the website.
I agree with TimV's comment about Haynes manuals. I've always found the manufacturer's ones easier.

I found both the Series 2A Parts Catalogue and the Series 2A Repair Operation Manual incredibly useful when working on my Dad's old 6 cylinder. Both cover all the 2.6-specific parts very well (engine, gearbox, props, bulkhead, brakes).

Both can be found second-hand a lot cheaper, but for reference:
