Enjoyable video. You’ve a lovely looking Series 3. Did like his comment that it’s basically a cross between a tractor and a car 😂. That’s why we love ‘em 😎

Hi all Just posting this for future reference more than anything so it can be searched for if needed. I’m in the process of rebuilding a zenith carb and noticed that the top cover/choke section was missing the ventilation screw/jet which forms part of the economy device. Apparently this is...

To be fair my series 3 will get to 65 ish albeit on the loud side by that point 😂. It’s more trying to combat the backwards feeling on some hills and also the cold starting issues. Might not be any better but the weight of opinion seems to be that a well tuned zenith is the better carb? I’m not...

Hi all Currently have a Weber fitted to my 2.25 petrol S3. Happy enough with it but could do with a little more oompf between 40-50mph and not the best at a cold start. Having read up on the differences between a Weber and a Zenith, I’m currently in the process of attempting my first rebuild of...

They’ve a very sleek Instagram and website showing some impressive restorations. Unfortunately not being in the market for their restorations the nearest I’ve been to them is having a Marshall Bluetooth speaker mount for my Series 3. Was a Christmas present- very well made from my POV, if not on...

Don’t think so. Any new ideas if it did?

lol thanks everyone for your input. I agree that usually I cannot hear a thing in my series 3 but was only going about 10 miles an hour so definitely heard something clatter. I also found part of a broken u-bolt but checked all my axles and they’ve got 4 on each. Very strange. Hoping that...

Hmmmm given no one has instantly recognised the offending object I’ll have to go back to have another look to see if anything else roadside looks like it has come off the landy 😂. Definitely made a clatter as it fell off whatever it was 😁 Appreciate all your help as always

Evening all Had a lovely day yesterday collecting our Christmas tree in my series 3 until I heard a clattering noise and something definitely falling off the vehicle 😱. Have been back to the road this evening and the only debris that looks like it could have come from Solihull’s finest is a...

Wow great result. Some amazing people in this forum all willing to go above and beyond to help other landy owners out. Great work Hicap!

Hi Sprie. Funnily enough I’ve just been sorting out my wipers this weekend. After changing the motor the washer kept sticking on so have just taken out the switch and cleaned it all out including the micro switch which is pushed by the plunger for washer function. I’m now back to full working...

Yes definitely don’t give up. Half the fun 😬 is chasing down the various gremlins that pop up every now and again. I have found this forum very friendly and invaluable for help since buying my S3 in the spring this year. It’ll be like triggers broom when it’s finished but doesnt half put a smile...

So I managed to separate the motor from the wheel drive cable…. Opened it all up and now realise why there was a terrible noise everyone I used the motor. Looks like one of the magnets had come away and has slowly been burning out the armature. Also a few of the insulating tabs (?) had broken...

Ah ok great pointer. I’ll give that a go today! Thanks as always for your help

Thanks. Do you mean on the motor itself remove the back plate? Was trying to remove the wheelbox drive cable attached to the motor as per the green book. Perhaps will try the alternative. Only want to overhaul the motor 😕. Nothing is ever as easy as the green book suggests 😂

Thanks Steve. Looking at Step 7 the motor should pull away with the motor cable attached? That’s the bit I’m getting stuck on

Afternoon all. Just tried to follow the green book and cannot seem to get the wiper motor removed. I can only get the wheel box drive cable so far then will not pull out any further? I’ve removed the union nut but can only pull the drive cable out so far. Wipers have been removed. All ideas...

That’s a good idea. I’ll do that. Was looking at fitting a rubber grommet in otherwise

Good idea. Will give it some thought

Thanks for this. Yep that’s exactly how I’ve fitted it. Feels like when the rain is horizontal (as is normal among the Bristol Channel where I am!) it’ll continue to get through those eyelets. Might have to mock up a rubber patch and feed the rope through
