    CSW rear quarter replacement panels - how hard???

    I have a compressor. I still refuse to learn to spray it. Far too much risk of getting it wrong and messing the panel up. At least with a brush and roller if you get it wrong you can recover it by going over it again while Still wet! Two year is longer than it took to rebuild mine after the...

    CSW rear quarter replacement panels - how hard???

    I cheat and use coach enamel and a gloss roller, so if you are doing it properly and trying to spray it then you have a even steeper learning curve than I did. Mine is not perfect and is a daily drive so i am not going for concourse and you can get a good enough finish with a roller as for my...

    110 Steering Woes

    As you seem to have replaced all of the steering components already I would echo the do not assume a recon box is a good bax. however I would be also looking to check some of the other components. You say you have replaced the radius arm bushes but have checked the back end a-frame and trailing...

    Advice on Parts Needed

    Agree with the above, but if you want them to last a lifetime replace the stock pistons with stainless before refitting. You talking about prop shafts in point B? If so just use the original style, you are not lifting and the wheel and trye choice are normal factory options so use the factory...

    Spotlights - how to wire???

    Very valid point above ^^ 2x 100watt halogen spotlights have a 16.6 amp draw at 12v so you do not want more than a 20amp fuse. If you are using a standard 2x 55watt bulb then that is a 9.2amp draw at 12v so you want a 10 amp fuse. If you are using LED then they are likely to need a very low...

    Series 3 Problems already with new landy.

    I think the answer is to not trust the gauge and reset the trip metre every time and refill on mileage. I refill at 200miles as a maximum. I have played with my sender repeatedly, added additional earths to it etc, and it still only shows 3/4 when full but it does show empty when it is empty so...

    Help? 2.5TD bad oil leak above/near steering box LHD

    15/40 will be fine, mineral is what will have orginally been speced but any 15/40 will work with the engine. the 19J is also renowned for leaking and smoking (similar to most land rover products of a certain age!) do you have a couple of pics of under the bonnet, specifically that corner/sid eof...

    CSW rear quarter replacement panels - how hard???

    That is correct, paint them before fitting as the lip on it sits behind the main side panel on the tub so cannot be accessed for painting after fitting.

    CSW rear quarter replacement panels - how hard???

    Not a large job at all. They are riveted just riveted into place. Through the line of holes you can see In The picture. Will take longer to paint to match than to actually fit!

    Series 3 Rear step options

    I only have the single side on my 110, you can buy them just as a single. I also bent mine so it does not act as bumper but the towball is the furthest rear point which is more robust than the step if you do hit anything.

    Sequence of restoration?

    keep everything in as large a section as possible until you have a chassis you are ready to start fitting things to. e.g. remove the leaf springs form the chassis leaving full axles assembled, remove the bulkhead complete, do not strip down the dash etc. keep as much of it assembled for as long...

    Pictures, All the pictures, both of the vehicle as a whole so we can be nosy, and also some of the side of the engine leaking (I apricate that may not show much but will give an idea) @meego retracted his comment but the oil filter and cooler will be on the other side. There is nothing filled...
