thanks funky, plenty of room for extra switches

ac cobra, defender and a disco, obviously earning far too much

mines got a speedo fitted but the cable isn't fitted to the gear box, passed mot with it a year ago, (still haven't fixed it though)

I was getting worried for a min there, i thought you wanted to reverse the steering wheel, i'll admit i've considered that once or twice, but only cos i can't always fit in the paperthin gap between the steering wheel and seat

i'm having compression problems aswell at the moment. spoken to a couple of people and they all say either head gasket or piston rings, which means i may aswell do an engine re-build, but i'm trying to put it off for another 6 month's or so, any ideas what else it could be, just incase. thanks

I think if we all lived the the dark ages then the age of the series landy would flourish. I know the title for these threads is series talk, but i'd have expected better from a land rover driver, to understand that when it says series is means a REAL series. you might have better look in a...

not hard, can be a bit messy,

sounds good, but i already have some of those tablets hence asking more about it, i dont get where the vinegar comes into it though

attached is a pic of the front of my series 3 (1974) don't know if it helps.

now it does quite seem the amazing offer that it was before.have you looked in the back for LRO or LRM they usually do a vehicles for under £1000, which is all the ****ed ones.

i know its a stupid question, but did you check both prop shafts? mine was doing something like that 2 years ago (i was new to the whole game didn't know what to look for) and one of my propshafts worked it's way off, had to remove it at the side of the road and use the fronts to drag me home

Your local one sounds a good enough bargin, if it looks alight. Carefull with fleebay, my gf bought be a series 2a 109 for my birthday (a proper project) as thats what i was after, the chassis looked good in pics, but she hadn't had chance to check it out and when i started stripping off the...

i was hoping to deep fry mars bars in it, nowt light fat and chocolate to keep you going when a bearing wont fit where its supposed to go (dam steering colum)
