They're easy to work on, I'll give you that, but the synchro rings ALWAYS fail except on the series 3 where they replaced metal parts that had proven reliable with plastic so the bl^^dy thing would only run in reverse. I've sat on a groundsheet 10 hours' drive from the nearest mechanic with gears and rings and spacers spread out, trying to figure a way to make the 2nd-3rd cluster work. The Austin Gypsey was way better, and its springs (unlike the Landy's) never broke. Mind you, it didn't have brakes, but that's a niggle.
