    Series 3 SWB Towing

    It's got a 12j in it. Not sure of the original but think it was a petrol. Shame they're only 2t? I got my hopes up when I saw that 90s were rated at 3.5t!

    Series 3 SWB Towing

    Ah right that's a bit more clear cut than the plate!! Guess I'll have to look into either a lightweight alu trailer or some couples brakes to run the full 3.5t? Never seen coupled brakes in person so will have to do some research Thanks for the help!

    Hi, Wondering If I could get some advice. I've got a 1979 SWB Series 3 that I intend to tow my track car with to do trackdays, hill climbs etc. As its pre VIN it has no GTW listed on the Chassis number Plate. I Understand the Recommended towing capacity is 2t but what legally can I tow a full...

    Chinese difflocks

    They are disco axles waiting to go under a series so no TC. Plus TC is never as good when the going gets tough

    Air lockers

    Had my eye on a pair of them chinese HF air difflocks on Alibaba and the price (guessing with everything going on) has dropped down to £300 with the compressor. Has anyone ever used these?

    300tdi erratic Idle/stall issues...

    Yes I have adjusted it on the idle screw, but surely doing it on the cable is exactly the same. Both are just moving the throttle lever to a minimum point

    300tdi erratic Idle/stall issues...

    Thanks, Yeah tried the clear pipe trick and no air on the feed or return. Has me scratching my head lol. Although the idles sounds ok I can't adjust it down any further and it's more the fact that when cold it sits in the low rpm range. If I give it some throttle I can get it to sit at normal...

    300tdi erratic Idle/stall issues...

    Hi fellas, Recently refreshed a 300tdi that had been sat for a while. New fuel pipes, lift pump, filter, serviced injectors. The problem I'm having is an bit of an erratic idle. It starts fine hot or cold but will almost stall afterwards (maybe 300-400rpm) before it brings its self upto speed...

    That ain't half bad, I'd only been looking for ones out of landrovers or rover p5/p6

    19j into a 2.8l petrol project

    Yeah I've heard that they are a wonderful engine but seem outdated being sidevalve etc and someone got a good deal for £1000 as the cheapest I saw was a incomplete engine for £600!!! and a non runner for £800
