    Hmm, not a lot I can say without seeing your setup. 3 terminal guages usually operate without a stabiliser, but i wouldnt expect to see one on a series. Compare what you have to the schematic and see if it makes sense. Might be worth as you say connecting a wire from the sender to the guage...

    110 Salisbury Axle onto a Series.

    You can do it. Theres a couple of firms that flog weld on spring mounts for coilers, these fit the series rear spring mounts, my 109 has a 110 axle on it, the 110 is a coiler my 109 is a leafer, the only other issue is the shocker mounts, I think the 88 has them part of the lower spring clamp...

    strong petrol smell and chuffing sound!!

    Plus gas is good for rusty nuts. Warm it up first. If you can get access a nut splitter might do the trick.

    Series 3 accident!

    I wouldnt want to be facing the legal battles and stuff with forcing them to fix it, but its your vehicle. You might be able to offer less than 750 as they will be shelling ouyt every day to store it, and then dispose of it if you dont want it.

    Before you fit the XUD beware that a lot will tell you its not good enough, that said the non turbo version pulled post office vans all round the country for years. There is a conversion plate that fits the peugeot 2.3 diesel to the landy box I think this is the same as the XUD however do some...

    Series 3 accident!

    Character is something thats missing on new cars. Anyones who's changed a steering relay will know just how much of a pain a series can be. My mrs had a bump with her 2a, bent the bumper and broke the sidelight, the sierra that bumped it was absolutely stuffed I couldnt believe it, tough as...

    Disconnect the wire from the sender, then measure the volatge on the fuel guage with a multimeter, you should get 10v on both terminals, if not the stabiliser is either knacked or more likely not connected or incorrectly connected. Then connect the wire that went to the sender to the chassis...

    odd bits that have still to get to work.

    Lucas wiper motors usually have a cheesy white plastic auto park switch, make sure there is a 12v feed to the park switch when the dash wiper switch is in the off position, if there is then the park sw is suspect. You can use a multimeter to check the fuel guage sender, with one lead to the...

    1954. 107 inch rebuild

    Interesting I've never seen a 107. I'm not an expert on these however I wouldnt have thought it'd go on eblag for 3000 coins, it'd need to be drive awayable for that kind of readies. Nice shiny new balls, did you get all the bolts out and split the ends ok?, last time I tried to get an older...

    Its enough to make you cry

    Looks like someones taken a hacksaw blade to a rover 25 front end, got a tube of superglue and a japanese 4x4 (no slight intended on japanese vehicles) and sort of stuck them all together. Thing is I bet it sells, just not to the likes of most folks reading this.

    Series 3 accident!

    Honest comes in different flavours, but straight forward yes, besides I didnt really want to try and claim for injuries for a bump that occured while I wasnt even in my car. However I have heard stories of others claiming for injuries even when they were not in or near the vehicle at the time...

    Any tips for reattaching bell housing?

    I had a 'box select 2 gears, while I was driving. Not good, i never even took the covers off that one, straight in a skip.

    Series 3 accident!

    Dunno about the clams direct thing, everyone is doing it and we are all being screwed for insurance because of it, so is it right or wrong? My motor was bumped and for a while I was considering going to a solicitor to stop solicitors from mithering me, I was bombarded from calls and mails from...

    That looked quite nasty mate, you were lucky you didnt smash yerself up too. I like the way the callibra passenger just legged it without seeing if you were still alive. At least with that footage you have a chance legally, the guy is a dumbo. If it was anything other than a landy then I'd say...

    diesel priming

    On some lift pumps if there is pressure on the injector pump side (ie theres no air in the system and fuel is pressurised) the lever doesnt appear to do owt as the diaphragm is held up by the pressurised fuel.

    Series 3 2.25l no power!

    Retarted ignition timing can cause a similar problem, if the timing is good then if the engine pulls then dies a weak mixture is suspected, if the engine just dies then either very weak or rich mixture could be happening, check the plugs, glazed white insulators is usually weak, black powder...

    Need help!?!?!?!

    Pull all the plugs, they should be brown, if ones black and I suspect one will be then thats the offending cylinder. If its suddenly started then it could just be a valve stem oil seal which isnt a major problem, if its a worn bore or a broken ring then thats more of a problem. Do a google on...

    I got bored and made spot the robodog.

    Thanks for the replies. I was in business years back, never again. The flower looks interesting, like the idea of the hub for a pot, the only issue with that is if the dog knocked it off it'd squish him, but its gonna be on the ground in the garden anyways.
