First problem..

Hi, I am a new member of the forum and about 3 months ago I bought a 1976 series 3 in marine blue with a sand canvas hood.I have had other 'classic cars' but I have always liked Land Rovers and am over the moon with this one.The car is generally in very good condition and it has a 200di engine fitted.I have changed all of the obvious fluids axles, transfer box etc and now I have moved on the the shocks as they were looking very tired.The first shock to come off was the rear drivers side.The lower connection was a threaded bolt with an allen key hole rather than a normal bolt head or split pin.This bolt head has sheared off which means I need to drill out the shank which remains in position.Can anyone tell me the part number of the sheared bolt please? and where I can pick four up? I have an idea the others may do the same, if not I think i'll replace them any way, thanks, Dean.

Welcome aboard

As above, this bit is for introducing you and your LR - hopefully with some pictures, then post your technical q's in the right bit of the forum as post #5 .....

Hi, I have hopefully attached a photo of my series 3 'Choolip'.The car was named by my grandson's and they also chose the spelling...
My every day car is the Discovery Landmark, a great all round car, the seven seats are handy and as I do a far few motorway miles it's ideal.
I bought the series 3 as I wanted a car that I could work on myself, I am no mechanic but I can do the basics and I hope to learn the rest.
I copied and pasted my introductory problem on to the Series section and have received some very good information.Enough for me to
carry on and get the job finished.Thanks for the friendly welcome and prompt assistance, Dean.
