Why do people always have to be so rude? My nickname comes from the fact that my main classic is called Arthur, and it is my Daily... As for the price, which is clearly stated, all prices start high - and work their way down :) I know what these cars regulalry go for - I also know that...

I purchased a series 3 diesel landy 1978 six months ago, and now, as is my hobby, want to swap to another classic. I purchased this as it was and is in excellent condition. The last owner considered it to be more than just a car, and for over 21 years ensure it was kept in perfect condition. It...

Haha... I might have... lol However, I have decided to sell all the brake servo stuff, as I'm more than happy with the none servo brake system.

Hi! Hmmnnn... I bought a Land Rover series III recently, short wheel base diesel, and it came with a 'second' land rover in parts... The second one... in a lot of parts scattered over the garden... has, I'm told a brake servo fitted, which the roadworthy one doesn't. My questions is, what does...

Hi, can anyone help me - I just wondered if it was okay to use medium moly grease in grease nipples? It says in the book 'LM' grease, but I have loads of Moly grease - does it matter? Thanks!

Advice taken, and now working perfectly. Thanks everybody! :)

Hi, light isn't dark - questions as above, thanks! :)

Hi, yes mine is the same - first position electrics, then power to engine, then heater plugs on spring resistance - so, final questions: 1. Should you hold the key in to heat the plugs until the heater light goes out or just... well for 10 seconds or what? 2. When pressing the starter button...

Right, went out at lunch to mess and realised I have been starting the Land Rover WITHOUT plugs on...! So, what I need to know is this - is THIS the right way to start it: 1. WHEN COLD: Push engine cut off up, then turn key to Heater plugs and wait for light to go out and THEN turn heater...

Hi, no I simply mean when it the light supposed to come on?

Hi, on my diesel series III there is a light, the cold start light... and wonder what it does? Now, I know on standard diesal cars this light comes on whilst the coils heat up and then go out... then you start the car. But on my landy the light does not come on with the electrics - the oil and...

Hi, thanks - but once you have done 4 wheel drive on tarmac is there anything to 'unwind' now - the chap said about lifting the wheels to allow them to 'spin' ?

Hi, I have just bought a series III land rover, with a series II gearbox and find it brilliant! However, the chap I purchased it off warned me about 'winding' up the gearbox by driving in four wheel drive ON the road? Anyway, today, by accident, I drove 8 miles to work and back in four wheel...

Hi, I see you point... to some extent about safety - however, the bench seat is a proper land rover one properly fitted with seat belts - Lancaster insurance had no issue with it? And to be honest, I much prefer my child sitting in a car seat, belted in, inside a roll cage in the back of a one...

Haha - When it comes to the condition of the vehicle I trust him completely, he has loved the vehicle for years and years, it is thus the case that sometimes people have an inflated idea of value BECAUSE of that - because of the love for the car. As for me, I am not new to classics, but am new...
