    Gearbox question

    Hey everyone, Hope you're all very well. Im currently stripping and rebuilding the original gearbox/transferbox for my series 3. It had very noisy bearings when I bought the Landy and I scored a VERY cheap used one off eBay so I fitted that while I play with the original one over winter. All...

    Eh up knowledgable folks. I’ve a bit of an odd one. My 1981 series 3 keeps going through voltage stabilisers on the back of the speedo. It’s done one every month or two in the six months I’ve had it. I swapped to the solid state ones two back, they do last a bit longer but it’s still doing it...

    Oil consumption

    Haven’t yet, as only had it for 800 miles but was gonna stick to every 2-3k or every six months. Same with gear, axles and overdrive.

    Oil consumption

    Hey all, Just a query from a fairly new S3 owner. What sort of oil consumption would you all expect from your motor? Ive a 1981 petrol with 90k on it. It was pretty well laid up prior to my buying it (2005-Oct 2018 it only covered 300 miles) During this period it was really well maintained and...

    The ongoing story of Wendy from Solihull

    Well, Wendy went to the beach today. Super stormy day, took in some lovely easy lanes near the house and finally got a couple of pictures... Just before she ran out of electricity, died and had to have some help. What I love most about owning a Landy is that you get to meet new people. Today I...

Your work is incredible and even though Im only half way through reading the thread you can see the progression in your skill and the massive satisfaction you clearly get from a job well done.

    The ongoing story of Wendy from Solihull

    Well, today has been a nice day playing with Wendy. Started off replacing a dodgy section of exhaust, pulled the dash out and replaced the blown instrument bulbs with LED jobs (nice warm white ones not the boy racer spec blue), then I replaced the (completely absent) heater hoses in the dash so...

    The ongoing story of Wendy from Solihull

    So yesterday I took delivery of my drivable project. Named Wendy by my partner. As said in my introductory post she's a 1981 2.25 petrol. Ive taken her for a couple of short adventures already. To the beach with aforementioned partner yesterday, and poped out for a surf with some mates this...
