HI folks, has anyone had experience of painting with NATO green paint? Bought some off ebay advertised as the genuine stuff. Certainly looked the part as I have used it before in the mob and some years back on a ex-military Defender. The problem is as as follows. Have primed body with a grey...

Civi spec? 12v alternator, wire batteries for 12v, bulbs. What else do I have to do. Bit worried about the strange boxes full of electric bits and what they do. Nobody got one who's done it? Let me know Thanks

Ok I think! Does anyone know about converting to 12v?. I assume it's just the electrics that are very different. Looking at the size of the alternator(it's huuuuge!) I might just weigh that in and retire on the proceeds. Will take some pics tomorrow and post. Anybody got more info about these...

Hi all, Just got hold of a Series III LWB FFR 24v rag top. Number of questions. Should I leave it 24v and as original as poss? How easy is it to convert to 12v and should I. Are there any benefits to changing? What's the little black box on top of the engine. I know it's called a filter unit...

Got it. Plenty to chew on. The tyres option though will need a bit more of an explanation. Bigger tyres = go faster for less revs? If you put big tyres on it will effect speedo will it not? Will they catch on things on full lock. More info please

Thanks all. Something to think about. Price is a bit of a shocker though. Looking at the price of o/drives. Not bad. So, if i decide on this option how does it work. I understand the overdrive. Am I right in thinking that the gears are a bit 'taller' in third and fourth? As simple as that? Ta

Hi Guys, Just Fettling My Series 3. Crank Oil Seal And New Clutch Done. Need An Overdrive I Think. What's Out There And How Much? Is There Another Type Apart From The Fairey? Has Anyone Got One? Or A Vehicle That They Want To Get Rid Of With One Fitted. Would Purchase Whole Vehicle For Spares...

Does anyone else want a Disco? K reg 200tdi. Prepared for off roading MOT'd See my add in 'For Sale' section Well, he started it!

Question for you guys. Will a V8 gearbox be a plain and simple LT77? Friend of mine has just asked wants to know asap. Somebody has offered one for his poorly Disco 1 Thanks

If it's a crank seal is that easy to do? Or is it a bloody pain and/or expensive? Give me easy instructions I'm not mechanically minded If gearbox seal I assume it's pop in thing Thanks

Will be doing it myself. Over a weekend I think. Clutch is juddering though, so it must have oil on it from g/box? I assume it's an oil seal. Can't make it out in the Haynes. Anyone enlighten and give an idea of the oil seal I need? Is it simply a flick it out seal and replace with new? Thanks

Had some replies to e-mails for clutch job. It gets worse! £620 was the worst and £320 best. Bloody hell! I'm retraining as a clutch specialist (That's CLUTCH not CROTCH). I cannot see how they justify the bill. Can some mechanic enlighten me. How much an hour do they charge? How long should it...

Thanks chaps. Thought he was taking the p*** also. Stockport garage off my list of nice guys for sure. Just goes to show. Turn up looking a certain way or type (suit and tie for me for work) and people misjudge yer pockets. Haven't got a pot to p*** in truth be known. Would be nice to get some...

Need clutch fitting in my series 3 petrol. Been asking at local Manchester Landrover garages regarding prices. Cheapest £295 if I remove seat boxes, floor plates etc. They fit clutch and I put everything back together. Seems a bit excessive to me. Anybody enlighten me or point me to a...

OK, it's for a Wanted item. Asked for LT77 box asap. Don't need it now as it is not the box that's broke. Mate found a loose thingy next to the watsimicallit and put a do-dah on it. So it's perfect now. Thank you so much Regards
