my series 3 smokes all the time, has done since I bought it c10 years ago, it doesn't bother me anymore

I would just ignore them and see what they do next :D if it was a letter not sent signed for or email without a read reciept, I never got it :D

if you are doing bare steel or painting over galv steel with body colour, you can use fertan the rust converter, once it has been on for 24 hrs iirc and washed off it will have coated the metal and acts as a primer so you can paint straight on to it. never tried it on birmabright or whatever it...

worth a try, must drain that car sometime before all the crud makes its way round the system and goes into the core from the other side :D

is that the normal heater for a santana then? looks better than the standard 3 one hope the repair lasts too

stripping back to bare metal is a lot of effort and expense it does give a better looking job but I would agree its not that much better cf. the level of effort, only worth it if you are doing a concours show job on a fully restored vehicle. it is also easy to make marks or ripples on the metal...

that would be the ultimate road trip though, travel out there, restore it and then drive it home :D

valve is most likely blocked, the actual aperture is tiny compared to the hose diameter, I had to dig all the crap out of mine with what was a wire coat hanger, once cleaned out cab was as warm as toast. I would bypass the valve and let water go to the matrix all the time, as said you only get...

recently did mine on the three and used some one piece chevy s10 door seals - had to cut some off so they fitted - they just pushed on all the way round, will only be an issue if the top is removed. chunkier than the s3 seals

yes those tyres had got a bit perished, had been on years with low annual mileage, old pic, they have gone now. replaced the dust cover too, not sure what happened to the old one, assume someone knocked it off, can't see why someone would nick one iirc they are less than a pound, unless they...

but they look good :D

mod land rover wolf rims look fab on a series and are tubeless. go well with Goodyear g90 tyres

used to be a chap near andover (andover landrover) made them and sold them on ebay, they changed their name to town and country, can't find a website for them so I assume they have shut up shop saw this on ebay, bit pricey, you may have seen it already, supposedly universal bulkhead...
