here you go!

On a series 3 the fuse box under the steering wheel is notorious for poor connections.

No idea what size but it will be imperial.

Diesels can get hot in the combustion chamber area very quickly.

If starting without rad I’d still connect some pipes and fill with water to run it so don’t get too hot

I would start with the throttle cable rather than adjusting the pump. I always treat the pump adjustments as the final resort.

Kits are available to overhaul those older lift pumps who's sections are held together with screws.

The bonnet pin that drops into the hole between bolts in pic above can not be released/removed while bonnet is shut. Follow instructions above, Get some lube in there. Sometimes when the lever has been moved over and still does not release...

If you managed to fully pull the latch through the grill it will just need a bit of a wiggle. With the latch fully pulled try pushing down hard on it, if that doesn’t work try pulling side to side. And most importantly try doing both of those...

Thanks, and absolutely! We have gone from being worried to let's get stuck in and learn! We love it and it's gonna be worth every thing we do. This forum has been a huge help I was expecting to be laughed at with my first post 😆 but nothing but...

There's so many variables. Service it top to bottom. Set the tappets.. replace the plugs, replace the leads if they look ancient. The points might be old and burnt but you're replacing with electronic.., check the air cleaner, replace the oil if...

I'm in this camp. If someone is going to break into my car and steal something (around here it would be low-lifes looking for loose change to go toward their next fix), I'd rather they didn't break a window to do it. If I leave something...

“New” engine acquired. 12J 16789 C

+1 on the capillary type. Fitted 1 to the S1 and you even see these move when the stat opens.

I fitted a paired Durite sender and gauge a couple of years back. The gauge displays the actual temperature reading, but for whatever reason it’s now reading 15C ish off. I can’t be ar•sed trying to trace the issue, so I’m going to fit a...

The capilliary type gauges are pretty decent. Have had one on my 200tdi for years, very accurate and requires no power. Tim is the make I have fitted.

"fortunately" this has been such a long project there were never many miles put on the vehicle at all, and it sat for the last 2+. Ot drives (predictably) better than ever now! All new sideframes, floor panels, clutch master and slave, brake...

On a series you could lock up all four wheels on the adjusters. Handy cross axle escape when off roading with two opposite wheels off or nearly off the ground Lock one spinning in the air and send drive to wheel on the ground. Often when stuck...

new lift pump it is - ill try anything. thanking you

Here is a story from long ago. In 1983 when the first 110 coil sprung Land Rovers came on the market Land Rover decided to have a 2x4 system option available thinking that many byers would be coming from having Series Land Rovers that had the...

@tottot it is a 1978, but it came with the old NA 2.5 diesel. It is definitely a Frankenbtruck. Thats' why i am happy to bolt it together any way that works. It seems that you and @Grebby are telling me the front hubs should always be locked...

I would renew the lift pump, you may well be right about the little valves.

As yours is a likely a standard Lt 230 the only way it will drive with the transfer box unlocked is with the free wheel hubs engaged as it is a full time 4x4 system. With the transfer locked and the front freewheel hubs out the vehicle should...

Yes that is the issue, the fluid stays inside so nothing to see. Have a look in the reservoir with a good light, black stuff at the bottom will be tiny bits of the seals.

With the pipe off servo and engine on tick over put thumb over end of pipe, If the pipe holds itself on vac is good. Check the valve the pipe fits to on servo is working. With the master as it is old you may have issues with seals inside...

A normal Lt230 fitted vehicle would never have free wheel hubs fitted. The system being full time 4 wheel drive so there would be no point. The only way it would drive with free wheel hubs not locked is with the center lock engaged, otherwise...

You obviously need a longer scaffolding pole :)

It would if you had an expensive driveway

Okay. Gotcha. Stick with the EP. Ensure the leather is thoroughly soaked in petroleum jelly. Nothing else.

Arent you in for a surprise then ;) . Theres a bendy bit hidden in your balls:p. Suggest you trawl online and get a manual for your flavour and read it in bed at night/Breakfast in the morning and during your tea breaks:). J
