Thanks turboman! Being a decorator it'll make a change to spray instead, would do this most likely in a field somewhere wearing disposable overalls and a mask. You think this is black waxoil? That's interesting

Very true, what I have seen before is the total underneath of a landy sprayed in black, I would love to know what was used to do this as all inner arches and axels were sprayed, I do remember that the chassis was only prepared by jet washing first Easy & it looked really smart

Thanks all for the info, I've got a tin of carplan tetroseal underbody sealant in the garage, this will be used on the chassis, fuel tank & both axles, A friend of mine recommended that I make up a solution of oil, diesel and one more additive that I've totally forgotten and spray absolutely...

Hi guys, I'm looking to paint the chassis soon on the landy, friend of mine has a compressor I can use so I think it'll be best for me to spray it on. I'm unsure on what to use, I like the thought of just spraying absolutely everything underneath. Is this a good idea and what do I need to buy...

Thanks mate, great help

Sorry for the confusing post, it's a volt meter! Your replies are a massive help. Just notice it also has a red cable for the light display. Where does this go?? Thanks everyone

Hi all, have any of you got a simple diagram on how to wire up a battery volt gauge to a series 3. Many thanks

I was using some unopened tins of duckhams brake fluid that was WAIT FOR IT almost 30 years old

Hi all, been out trying to bleed all the brakes on the s3 and couldn't stop getting air through, found out I was using some old fluid, is this what happens when it's gone off?

New or hand made seat belt brackets for series 3 truck cab

Looks great, rub down Saturday, hand painted by Sunday! Nice and original, good buy there

Hi, I've got a series 3 with 35mm spacers fitted, wondering if this is ok for the mot as I've not got wheel arches fitted. Thanks

Thanks you lot, the problem I've had by not having the plate on there is that the shoes have twisted under pressure and snapped the small lug off that holds the spring in place

I've managed to get hold of one now but thanks for the advise :)

Thanks, answered my question. Can't understand why I have never had those anchor plates fitted in the first place

Yeh 88" didn't have any on the back, lucky I've got to spare axels and they have them on, and yes it's the round one with 2 small bolts. Are these needed for front then?

Thanks buddy but as I'm a complete novice what does that mean?

Hi, been out freeing the brakes on the landy and have found that there is no anchor plate fitted on the back either side, can someone please tell me if these anchor plates are needed on the front too ( the plate that clamps the shoes together at the bottom)

Hi all, just ordered the new fuse box following an older post, where should I take the live for it from? Ignition

Thanks guys I'll check contacts on stalk + earth. Thanks for your help
