Sometime back my dad changed from 'commercial' to 'private' which meant that the need to have the LR inspected yearly by the transport authority was no longer. A type of MOT but rather slack. The process was the mother of nightmares! The emphasis...
Hello everyone.
Because I was asked to, I will. My thread will be nothing but my series IIA and III. The plans I have for both and why.
Firstly, the III developed a problem with the gearbox. My concerns of which box I have is now history but...
I found that with good series steel rims (clean them and then spray paint, straighten them if possible) you can use a good brand tyre and go tubeless. I intend to do this when my existing tyre wear out. Because the terrain over here is pretty...
As you said it....I have a 2008 Factory Rally Replica/Adventure machine. Done up obviously but like my series it hasn't got ABS, Tilt Control, Rocket Buster mode, or any of that BS stuff! Just a simple and reliable carburettored bike. Hauls ass...
Welcome to the world best landyzone fireplace.
Worth popping into the series section for better help. This is general introduction for new chinwaggers.
I'm JIMBOB (Jimmy) and own two series Land Rovers. A 1970 IIA and a 1975 III. The III is what I use daily and love it.
The plan is never to own any other type of vehicle ever!! I like it simple because Less Is More. I grew up in Kenya on a large...
Good evening
My Dad had a series 3 when I was growing up and I loved the adventure and waving to other owners. I remember my Dad however having to cycle to work on a few ocassions.
I think it was made around 1980. Sadly it was sold in the late...
:oops:....Kenya is madness at it's best! I always try my best to keep to standards and requirements. Maintenance is key no matter what you drive. It will be good this time. No leaks from the transfer case or main box.
Nop! It's pretty much 'import' what you need. We have a cool system which is fast and affordable. Those who consolidate items into a container rather than 'container specific' get away with murder! I air freight or sea freight. Bulky items by sea...
I thought so. No worries then. I've decided to go full hog on the parts and therefore get what is available from synchro gearboxes. At £850 for nearly everything needed it is just bliss! £1,000 in parts for a total rebuild isn't bad. Try doing...
But gaiter/cover will not fit over it. It's an eye sore to me and ****es me off so much that I had to do something about it. With the box rebuild I'll replace the existing gear stick housing and pin.
Hmm...1974 series III with a late 2A box! I also recon the same. My 2A's box is also apart (I found it dismantled) so will check on any subtle differences. I know the 2A was purchased brand new by dad so it's pretty much as was factory. Is it...
Whoever put that bolt in did so because the threads on the housing were stripped. I checked and it was immediately obvious a large diameter screw/bolt was needed. If things are looked after they will serve the purpose and work well.
That is the...
Mine is 361*****D series 3 with synchro on all 4 gears
These have the ecm machined gears more explanation on page 37-20 of the s3 workshop manual
