After much rewiring and correcting things that have been messed about with in the last 30 years I have managed to get things nearly back to normal, thanks for the suggestion of looking at the voltage regulator as this had a connection that was intermittent. As always, great help from fellow...

When the Diesel pump fuel cut out return spring failed on mine recently it made its own imobliser so if you are running a diesel I think its not beyond the realms of possibility that you could build in a two way system with cut out and then cut in cable system that would be beyond the...

Just to put this one to bed, I found a really helpful local garage who have their own Landy's and lots of experience, its great to know that I have such a resource local to me, The vehicle was recovered on their own trailer and the air lock sorted quickly at the workshop. If there are other...

Now that I have my Series 3 on the road there are a few strange things that are happening with the electrics, this was very true this evening when needing to use the side lights before lighting up time because of the weather.. When I turn on the side lights both the indicator 'tell tale'...

Does anyone know of a pick up and delivery service for a Landy SWB from Norfolk to Essex?

Nope not that I noticed

Well thanks everyone for your advice, seems that I might have been barking up the wrong tree as she was out of fuel (I now know the fuel gauge reads 1/4 when is in fact empty) Diesel now added but unfortunately she still refuses to start, I have bled all the bit suggested and have fuel all the...

Thank you both for your advice, I do hope that it is an air blockage as having seen the price of these pumps I'm surprised! I am still wanting to confirm that the two nuts I need to crack are the correct ones, the following images show the ones that I think are being referred to, can anyone...

Is one of these the nut shown to the left of the CAV plate on the following photo? (if so where is the other?) Picasa Web Albums - James Game

Following some reading on an online forum I decided (mistakenly is seems) to open the drain cock under the fuel filter on my 1979 Series 3 2.25 Diesel, this allowed out a small amount of what seemed to be dirty water/diesel mix. Then when attempting to start the car it fired straight away...

I wonder if anyone knows or can have a look to answer this one: I am about to change the indicator stalk on my '79 series 3 and in the process of removing it I dislodged the brown wire from it to the fuse box, trouble is I am not sure which connector in the fuse box it goes to. Any...

Just about to order the paint for my '79 Series 3 safari backed landy and the paint colour I had been expecting does not seem to be the correct one. I had assumed that Marine Blue was the correct colour but now having looked at the colour car from Tekaloid it seems that this is far from the...

First 3 images, 92-94 are the nearside tyre which is worse, numbers 94 and 95 are the offside tyre

Well I have located the seat belt connectors so that is good news! As far as they tyres go I have received varying opinions of their ability to pass an MOT Here are some images of the front tyres http://picasaweb.google.co.uk/106697850404125930717/Lola#5493865797785195986 There are a few...

Well two items of news, I have found the connectors for the seat belts, not sure how I missed them!..perhaps the number of tools and supplies I have put in the cab On the tyres I have spoken to a friend from a major motor chain and he thinks that the tyres might be legal, also spoken to my...

Recently purchased a 1979 (T)Series 3 SWB from ebay; the vehicle was described as having a new MOT and that the tyres are 'OK'. Upon having the vehicle delivered I find that the nearside front has a bald patch on the upper outside edge of the tread, about 7" long, 1.5" wide. Further inspection...

I have been working my way around understanding the controls of my newly acquired 1979 series 3 and Im curious about the dashboard switch above the steering wheel that pulls out and locks with a turn; nothing seems to light or catch light when I use it. Any hints about what this could be?

I do get the fact that they rust and that they are nearly as old as me but should I take the risk of these bits of what seem like cosmetic rust areas and be faithful that they can be economically repaired as I do not have any skills in welding etc

I have been to view a '72 Series 3 vehicle, it has a certain degree of add on's: overdrive, checkerplate, rear spare wheel holder, wheelarch spats and the body panels are generally in good order with new tires all round; now for the bad things that I have found.. Being a novice I made sure...
