    Help!! Electrics.....Again

    Haha stuff like this is always happening to me. Does the wiper switch seem to be working with your circuit checker? When you took the dash off you must have wiggled something loose for the indicators. Open it back up and check all the connections are firmly attached.

    Tunnel + 2 foot flood = FUN

    Do you always have a camera running or just because you were doing this? Looks cool!. I was out in my series 3 last night in the puddles. A bin lorry went flying through a deep one the opposite direction than me and I thought the wave was going to cave the windscreen in. I got hit in the face by...

    Series 3 dashboard instruments

    My 1972 has no hazards, 3 blower settings (off, slow, fast) and 1 wiper speed. I always find it strange that the wiper swith is a twist one when there is only 1 speed, why didn't they just use the same switch as everything else?

    Series 3-88, Rebuild.

    How many miles do you do a year? I don't do that many so the economy (or lack of!) of my 2.25 petrol is fine for me. I am planning to take it to Europe next summer though, that's going to be a slow journey!

    Engine oil confusion

    I've been using 20w50 from Halfords (comes in a cool tin!) but £13 from Asda is quite a bit cheaper, I'll have a look there next time.

    Points never open but somehow it still runs...

    Hmm it's got "25D" stamped onto it, which I though was only fitted to series 2? Here's a pic with the cap off if it helps: http://i46.tinypic.com/r7nper.jpg

    Points never open but somehow it still runs...

    I don't really know how election ignition works but doesn't it fit inside the distributor where the points etc. are now so they wouldn't still be there? I didn't notice anything in there that looked out of place, I'll have another look tomorrow.

    Points never open but somehow it still runs...

    I opened up the distributor today to check my points and had a very strange problem! When the points are at a lobe in the cam shaft (i.e should be open) they are not. When not at a lobe, the points don't even touch the camshaft! It's like the springy bit isn't working properly as it never moves...

    Am I mad?

    I'm thinking of going to Europe with my 2 1/4 petrol next summer but really need to work out the mpg I'm getting. I was expecting 12mpg, not mid to high 20s! Also I'm not sure how I can work it out. I can't really fill the tank because then it leaks out...

    hi lift jack, any good for maintenence?

    Do you carry the trolley jack around with you for wheel changes? I might do that instead of my hi lift + axle stand.

    Well I figure if it does fall then the wheel is still going to be on so it's won't crush me...

    hi lift jack, any good for maintenence?

    I've just been looking to get a bottle jack for wheel changes but I already have a hi-lift which came with the landy. Reckon I should just get an axle stand and carry that around with me instead of the bottle? Then if I get a flat use the hi-lift to get it up onto the axle stand (don't fancy...

    At least he's being honest! I'd rather that than most of the guff on ebay

    Totally clueless, just bought one on ebay, 1979-1980??

    Looks really good, if it's running well you got it for a pretty amazing price I'd say!
