So...gotta love the series 3 esp when it throws an issue at you. My most recent is starting. When it does start it's great, loads of power etc. But recently after driving it it sometimes (once every two weeks) turns over really slowly like its got a flat Bty. I even put the headlights on when...

Good morning - stripping down a suffix B Gearbox and the main shaft has a D stamped into it? I think this has been added due to the Suffix D gearbox having stronger internals if I'm not correct? Thank you Rich

Hi knowledgable folk, Just tearing down a Series 3 suffix B gearbox and i seem to be missing these two shims (Part no 561197) from the intermediate shaft. Do i need these based on total end float measurements (if anyone has them). Thank you Rich

Hi knowledgable folk, just trying to find out / gather ideas why my Series 3 2.25 fuel drains back so quick from the carb (Weber). Starts great in the morning from cold and if you leave it for 10-15 minutes when hot it'll start straight away. But, if i leave it for longer than 30 minutes it'll...

Sold, Thank you

Afternoon everyone, Anyone ever fitted a Mantec swing away on their Series rear safari door? The instructions don't give me the measurements to drill the door for the mounting plate. I suppose i could fit the actual carrier and see where it will fits with the door and measure from there...

Evening knowledgable folk. Slowly taking my spare engine apart to check all the bits that may need replacing and began removing the cam lifters and guides etc. Initially guide was stuck and came out after a squirt of oil…..and so did the follower leaving the roller sat on the cam lobe (it was...

Just taking apart a spare 2.25, quick question but why are the valves different? My other 2.25 petrol (81 Reg so slightly newer) has all the same valve tops. Thank you

Just posted on fleabay for those military / green laning folk https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/315935267395?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=kBE3FOotQvu&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=kBE3FOotQvu&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Good evening all, Quick question - would a series 2a 2.25 petrol fit straight into a series 3 (1981) petrol? I have an opportunity to get a used 2.25 petrol as a spare? Thanks Rich

Hi troops, are defender Alpine windows the same size as series ones? I’m going to fit some as I’ve always liked the look. Thanks Rich

Hi all anyone got a cubby box with cup holders they want to sell? Don’t need a new one just for my winter / shooting hack. Thanks Rich

Hi all, after a bit of advice regarding a series 3 indicator relay. I was fitting a hazard switch but the indicator relay in the Landy is a modern one with 3 terminals. One goes to an orange indicator light. If I replace with an original relay (2 terminals) they don’t work. Please see pic...

Morning all, I have a genuine Lucas hazard switch but the wire colours (only remaining 3) don’t add up to the harness I have from Auto sparks. I’m sure the 3 wires will do the same job (they go to the relays) but does anyone know what wire from the switch should go to the plug? Failing that...

Hello knowledgeable folk. Can I remove my rear floor (SWB) and replace the supports (and top hats) with the tub on? Noticed that a few have holes in……. Thanks Rich

So I managed to find a decent 2 1/2 petrol 3MB cylinder head at Malvern this weekend. It’s cleaned up really well and not bad for £20. The number on my head is ERC 5899 but the other is 568750. Both look the exact same and the spare seems to have less wear on the valves etc. Also, should I...

Random one - I've noticed my front axle is level on one side with the front wheel arch (FWH line up with the front wing) but the other side is about one inch shorter. I used a straight bar and measured both sides. The axle brackets, suspension, and wheels (all the same) are all in line and the...

Hi knowledgable folk, So whipped the head off and after borrowing 2 x valve spring compressors (both bent) I've order a decent one. So....are 2.25 valve springs a pain to compress? Also I've noticed one of my exhaust valve spring is sitting higher than the rest (please see pic). Does anyone...
