Thanks for the reply. Appreciated.

Hi All, I was given a set of 8 spoke white wheelers with new all terrain tyres for my series. I am wondering but if these were after market fitment in 1978. Anyone can help please?

No sorry. But they are all white with 8 spokes slightly wider than standard with mud terrain tyres on but not with the side thread as well. Seems period after market but not sure.

Yes the tyres are new. What I wanted to know if the white wheelers were in production in 1978.

Was wondering. I was given a set of 8 spoke white wheelers with tyres in brand new condition. Were they in production in 1978 as I see a lot of series landrovers with them >n Malta

Dear All especially Turboman who did his best to help me out. Today I managed to once again lift my series 3 to the original height. Have serviced the leaf springs whilst they were dismantled. I am truly surprised at the ride I now have, not harsh ss it was and best of all no noises. Really...

Mind you being a 5'6" tall I have saved some money on a fork lift to climb in. At least at the moment I can just climb in ha ha.

Yes definitly it sure looks nicer raised up.

Hi, they are not worn and in perfect condition without any hint of rust. There is a technique which is used to lower the leaf springs. In fact I did mine under the guidance of an engineer. All I did is lower them and although i said they are on the bump stop I have an inch clearance. In fact if...

I have driven the vehicle with no problems. Considering our speed limit is 60 kms almost everywhere it did not make a difference. When passing a sleeping policeman I drive really slow. Actually I have an inch play to hit the bump stops. Also I deflated the tires to 25 psi with no probs but than...
