    So my 1984 series 3 (which sat in a barn for 13 years) has leaks coming from the inside of both front hubs. Seems worse when its a full lock. Any ideas what needs replacing?

    Series 3 Questions about electrics/switches

    So I am sure most old Landy's have been "customized" but seems mine has lots of stuff it shouldn't. It has a rear safari door wiper and washer unit (an old bottle full of fluid) that someone has hacked in. I am sure this is not standard. Also have a bunch of switches that shouldn't be there. In...

    Series 3 Confused about seats

    As mine is a very late series 3 is it possible they started to use defender seats? There are no spare holes for different runners if that makes sense?

    Series 3 Confused about seats

    So I recently got an late Series 3 (1984). I am new to land rovers but not new to car restoration (I have a bunch of VW's and Porsches). One of the things that needed fixing was the front seats. I ordered a set from paddock spares (deluxe) and they are nowhere near the right shape. What seats...
