You'll find it on the right hand side, looking forward, at the top of the engine block, just below the head and to the rear of the distributor. It should begin with 17H......

Chequer plate directly onto the chassis member? mmmmm You'll have your very own ready made battery. Why not try to harness that power and use it to constantly trickle charge your own battery. Now THAT is a selling point! Trying to stay out of the politics of this, but i would suggest...

Take a look at these guys. Very good people and very reliable. Also (dare I say) they have a good forum too, like this one. Restoring a Land Rover

As you now call it a clattering noise and intermittent , just a (stupid?) thought, do you have a lose mud guard under your wing???

OK, a couple of quick questions/observations, then; 1 was the original series sender working? If yes, how do you know? 2 Is your fuel gauge working correctly? if problems there you may need to look at the voltage stabiliser just behind the dash. 3 If you're happy with all that, try testing...

Not a hard job, will take you about an hour, or two hours if you're slow like me. Don't forget to top up your oil afterwards. EP90 GL4. A good chance to check the working of the hand brake too!

Did you put the LPG kit in yourself? How does it all work?

Have a look at the routing of the cable as well, if already oiled, try to reduce bends, etc. If you have the engine number, look up Glencoyne on the interweb. He's very helpful and has a listing of all engines including the 17H. Should give you some background. Your engine is originally...

First of all check it is what you think it is. The engine woulod be a 17H 2.5 petrol. check the engine number, which is located on the right hand side (facing front of car) of the engine block just about where the rear blanking plate is located. If it is a 17H, the standard carb is a twin...

Been around Land Rovers for a year or two. Doing a gradual rebuild of a series 3 SWB. Only just discovered this forum. Looking forward to chatting to you all and exchanging ideas.

Have you got big tyres? Is the steering stop set correctly? Maybe the tyre is rubbing on the leaf spring at full lock making it appear to "wobble".

Years ago, my wife had the bright idea of painting the vinyl seats of her Mini with emulsion. It flaked off pretty quickly.:lol:

Try Sam's trims in Birmingham or Exmoor trim do one, I think.
