    Series 3 109

    I'm currently on the look out for a Series 3 109. I'm looking for something that needs a bit of work, but not a complete rebuild. Near to Derby would be ideal too. Thanks

    Speed related transmission noise

    The noise is related to road speed, it happens in all gears and becomes noticeable from around 20mph onwards. With the prop off and the wheels off the ground it sounds the same as when it's on the road

    Speed related transmission noise

    I really have grown to hate this car. I took it down to Bell Engineering who diagnosed the noise as being the IRD, so I handed over £700 for a new IRD and VCU. Today I've fitted both, and guess what, it's made no differance at all. There's only really the gearbox left that it could be, but I'm...

    Speed related transmission noise

    IRD has been my thought. It's not got any leaks, or signs of them. I've not dropped the oil yet, but I'm assuming there's some in there. I'd thought that, but I've run it with the prop off and it was still the same No, I've had 4 new ones since we got it, and the noise was the same as it...

    Speed related transmission noise

    I've recently bought the wife a Freelander, yes I know :rolleyes: There's a noise which I'm trying to locate and was hoping for a few suggestions. It's road speed related, and sounds similar to noise you'd get from a warped brake disc, if that makes sense. It's most noticeable from about 40...

    Series 3 Rebuild

    I was going to spray it, but in the end I've stuck with what I know and I've used a brush and roller.

    Perished Tyres

    I certainly wouldn't be using those tyres. They're ready for binning

    Autoglym Vinyl and Rubber cleaner will do a good job.

    Tyres? Which ones to choose

    I'd be tempted by something like these New (Take-Off) Land Rover Wheels with 7.50 16 Michelin Latitude Tyres X4 | eBay

    a dashtop for my series 2a anyone?

    Are you sure you mean a 2a, they don't have a dash top. Do you mean a Series 3?
