Hi, I'd appreciate any advice on my problem. My S3 has been off the road for quite a while. I've been working through the problems and getting near to my MOT. I was testing all the little things on Monday and took it for a spin round the field, but after some time, it just cut out when...

thanks for these replies - v. helpful. Photo of what I was trying to describe attached. One supplementary question - I've replaced the bearings. Why isn't there an oils seal on the outer side of the hub? Won't all the grease spin out into the hub cap? The bearing replacement kit only...

Hi - my 1982 S3 failed its MOT on grounds of stiff steering and a dodgy OSF wheel bearing. I replaced the track end rods with only moderate difficulty and started tackling the bearing today. Armed with Buster's article I started confidently but soon realised that with free wheeling hubs there...

Hi - I am getting close to taking my S3 for its MOT. Just running through the MOT checklist yesterday I found that both tail lamps were not working. Removing the lenses I found that the bulbs lit if you held them in but the slots for the lugs are loose and the bulbs are just slipping out. The...

Hi Michael - two brackets would be even better. I'm only missing one, but one of the ones I do have is broken. My address is in a PM

true but not really relevant Dominic Civil trespass is not a criminal offence in the UK. You cannot be arrested for civil trespass, but you can be sued by the landowner in a civil court. Criminal Trespass applies to a specific list of sites, including defence sites, nuclear power stations...

Hi Steve, you have quite a project on your hands. The climate is on your side though - & that looks like a great scrap yard ... lucky. Good luck!

Hi does anyone have a spare bracket for a Series 3 88" back seat - ie the bit on which the seat base pivots (see photo) or point me to a supplier? Actually, I just need half of the bracket as I have the bit which bolts to the seat but the bit that bolts to the tub is lost. So if you have a...

hmm yes ... that sounds like a pretty good solution. thanks!

thanks Locky -;)- the 'porcelain diamond' drill bit arrived this morning and it worked just as you said. Just for the benefit of anybody coming to this later I attach a photograph of the drill bit and the plug that came out. I made a jig to make sure that I went in vertically (second photo)...

no joy at Wickes or Homebase - neither had the right sort of diamond bit. will order via Amazon and resume efforts next w/e. Thanks for the advice.

thanks all! Just off to Wickes now to buy a tile drill and try Locky's plan. Will let you know with what success.

Hi, I've just bought a great Series 3 - only problem is it's a non-runner. You can see the sad story of the PO here and here. The short version is that there is a sheared-off bolt extraction bit in one of the three bolts attaching the thermostat housing to the cylinder head. Photo attached...

Hi, I've just bought a 1981 S3 88in Safari. As it will be a rolling restoration (something to work on with my son) and I am not very familiar with Land Rovers, I thought it best to join the forum as I'll be needing advice. The S3 is in brilliant shape underneath - looks like a galvanised...
