Here's the tool for the job... DIFFLOCK - TDi Crank Pulley Locking Tool These bolts are quite annoyingly tight... and cannot be undone without the vehicle bolted to a chassis, at least mine couldn't... :O

Why am I not surprised? They also have oil bath air cleaners... Before owning my Land Rover, I thought that ALL car companies stopped using oil bath air cleaners in 1960!

Oh, one other thing... The "Brake" light is an indicator for low brake pressure. Follow the brake lines from the brake master cylinder down to the chassis. They will come to a small pressure block that has an electrical switch on it. The manual calls this the "brake pressure differential...

I also have a diesel series 3. I had the same problem with my light. It was so dim, I thought it was burnt out. I was told that the glow plugs in my engine had been replaced at some point of the vehicle's life. The originals were wired in series (a daisy-chain, when one burns out, they all...

The only drawbacks to fitting them are minor:1, your speedo will be way off, 2, Your low range in the transfer box will also be a little higher. I have a matched set if you need them. Was going to put them in my series three, but, I decided to go with the Ashcroft High Range transfer box...

I have this thing for unique vehicles and I hate belly button cars. A couple of years ago, I saw the Defender style Land Rover, and had to have one. Better yet, I stumbled upon an 88" Series 3 diesel. Perfect... or is it? The heater doesn't work too well, driving on it loosens my fillings...
