Cheers Andy... checked that... clean as a whistle. Bit the bullet and striped bits off the engine around the oil pump... turned out to be the turbo feed union just above the oil filter.. Well hidden. I think I unseated it a little when fitting a new alternator belt; Stripped it all and...

Hi All My series III 88" landy bleeding to death :( I know its a longshot but hoping someone has an idea what's going on. Perkins Prima engine (sourced from a montego I think) oil is pooring from the oil filter when the engine is running... Have drained the oil, changed filters; gave it a...

Hi Guys Something wrong with me steering... There seams to be a dead spot from wheel driving straight to actually turning... When the wheels are turned steering is spot on, turn the steering wheel and the road wheels respond straight away within a couple of degrees movement.... However when...

heater ??? whats that then ??? I just thought it was there for show...

Hi Spyderman Yeah I had the same problem with my old pile of crap steering wheel.... probably made in the same sweat shop some place.... I don't want to purchase another crappy one. I need something a wee tad stronger than tin foil that will fit the steering column. If all else fails think...

Hi All Does anyone know where I can get a decent steering wheel (smaller than the original) that can withstand a bit of punishment ?? 48 spline, Series III steering column.... I had one of those after market boss kit and crappy wheel jobbies but it didn't last too long off road.... it flexed...

Hi again guys, Deffo no mounting holes for the guard on me landy. Can some one take photos of one in situ to give me an idea where to mount it (to drill holes or create some sorta bracket) mounting/welding it under the bumper would be easiest but not the strongest place... I do want it the...

Hi Guys Sorry to bump this thread again.... I just received me steering guard, and am going to tackle fitting it tomorrow. I had a quick look today and couldn't find an obvious way of fitting it (ie no threaded holes to bolt it into !) I know that my landy has had a chassis replacement in...

radiator muff ! sounds silly but makes hell of a difference on me diesel. Gets hot quicker and runs hotter if all covered up..

Hiya Glasgowkiss, bench seats will require two holes in the wheel boxes a side... on mine there is a through bolts with big washer underneath connecting the base of the seats. The back of the seat slots into the railing along the side of the landy. You going to Lochgilphead this weekend ...

try andy@famous four -- am getting some galv rock sliders fabricated for me 88", they may be able to source or make 109" ones.

fixed... pin hole in float caused it to semi fill with diesel and sink when tank was full, as tank emptied there was enough of an air gap to make it float :p

Hi All, I am trying to rectify the last 'fault' on me 88" Series 3; The fuel gauge has never worked correctly since I purchased it -- It reads empty when full and progressively fuller as the tank empties. I thought that the sender wires were the wrong way round but when I swap them it...
