Looking thru all the replies(thanks!) I think it will be the bumper ;) I love light bars but they are more for looks than anything else & how often do I lane at night? Not much at all if Im honest with myself! Will have to buy some round ones as have only got rectangulars in the shed:(

Need a few opinions from you boys on extra lights:D I bought my S3 88" a few months ago & am slowly getting her to how I want! Its only used for greenlaning & maybe the odd pay & play.Im no rivet counter but do want to keep it looking decent so the question on where to mount extra spots has me a...

IMHO, if you are happy to cruise at around 50mph and can tolerate the noise, I cant see why not;) Not sure about mpg-does it have an overdrive?

I made one up for my 88" which has a 200 tdi. Used the rear box & tail piece from a 19j 90 and a small length of flexi pipe;)

Just seen it & if you view it as entertainment, tis a good film;) Im sure I saw a defender with no rear prop though:D

What ever happens, well done for at least investigating the possibilty! As said, small sites quickly become repetitive so put yer thinking cap on;) If yer local to Ashbourne, you will know the Biggin site.Interesting for a while then gets quickly "been there & done it"!! Innovation is whats needed.

Unless you lot have other thoughts:D Right! I bought a Series 3 with a ****e tdi conversion which Im trying to sort out. Have only driven in around the estate until last weekend when I did a bit of laning when discovered that the battery was'nt getting any charge. Multi meter confirmed this so I...

Enjoy yer series!

Dunno what my worry was about:D Came off a treat although tightening up the new one was a sod until I removed the bulkhead/chassis brace then it went quick!

Will try get some Silkopen then;) Me & corroded nuts & studs dont go hand in hand:rolleyes:

So my S3 has had a 200tdi fitted by its previous owner and the associated modified downpipe is badly made & right up against the chassis rail. Before I fit a new downpipe (the ones made for these conversions) how likely am I to struggle removing the three nuts & old downpipe from the manifold...

You can get landy paint here: http://www.paddockspares.com/parts-and-accessories/land-rover-series-2-and-3/paint.html Looks like pastel green to me but the proper boffins may confirm this;)

I'll be remembering that for next time;)

Had done this with nowt pushing thru & then lo & behold, a mate popped in who did some time as an old school recovery man. He held his finger over the outlet & told me to pump like hell:D And then...........success! Fluid came thru & its now nicely bled with a good old calf developing pedal feel...

Had a look at the rod & seems to operate through its full travel when the clutch is depressed so I dunno:mad:
