I think I’m going with these guys. How long did you wait?

I could go over it again with a tarp. Triple ply! Bit of rock wool in between for good measure

I think the cushion and squab have been re made but the frame is original

My Series 3 was made in SA by Leykor and the front seat is a bench seat. Was this a SA spec thing as I haven’t seen any others like it.

I did this today and it’s solved the idling issue. But it smells a bit rich now, if that makes any sense?

I like your thinking,

I owned one about 25 years ago, I’ve had a 90, 2x110s, Disco 1,2 &3 now I’m back to the S3. I’m not very knowledgeable about series threes so there is lots to learn. It was built in South Africa and then about three years ago shipped to Spain it was there for a few years and now it’s in the UK...

I see what you mean about the website!

Forgot to mention it’s petrol, thanks for that I’ll have a look tomorrow. Hopefully that’s all it is.

I have a 2.25 that idles very slowly and when the engine is hot it won’t idle at all. Is this easy enough to adjust?

Where will you get your next one from? Have you seen any others that are better quality?

I’m removing my hardtop and replacing it with a hood and stick set, Can anyone recommend a set other than the Exmoor trim set? It looks good enough in the pics but I remember buying a centre cubby box for a defender about 15 years ago and I was far from impressed with the quality. I know it’s a...

I live just inside the M25 too

After months of looking and losing out on a few I finally picked up my Series 3. She’s a 1972 (same age as me!) from South Africa. I’m well pleased.

Also found a 1971 diesel one. What are these like to drive?

Found a Petrol Series 3 that looked promising but according to TFL site it’s £100 per day !!

That’s good to know I wasn’t aware of that, I actually live in the LEZ

I think the LEZ has pretty much decided I “need“ a series

I had a Hard top Series 3 about 20 years ago, I was only 28 and all my mates thought I was mad! The lack of speed, the leaks, the draughts and noise don’t bother me at all. It will be general purpose ie. taking the dog out, going to the tip etc. Looks are unimportant, but here’s the thing I’d...

Hello chaps, 8 years after selling my 110 crew cab and driving Jap and German vans it’s time for me to buy another Land Rover. The prices have gone up it seems! So with my budget of about £7000 I’ve seen a few Series 3s and a couple of NA Defenders. This is only going to be a hobby car for me...
