    Your Vote Counts... V8

    Being boring, keep it original. Turn the V8 into a coffee-table, or fit it in a kit car. Stick the Series in a Vac-Bag or sell it to a museum. Buy clapped out old Rangie classic & hybrid it.

    Series III front brakes

    Did you, on the off-chance bleed the brakes after fitting the new shoes, and DID you by that same chance use the two-man pedal press and spanner twiddle, method? If so, good chance that pushing the brake pedal down well beyond normal range of action, wiped crud off a normally unswept portion of...

    FWD RangeLander

    Watch the boards, in five years people will be asking what they need to convert one to four wheel drive.... Becouse people will buy them thinking that the £5K & road-tax saving is worth while, but the 4x4 versions will hold their value better for longer. By the time they have fallen into the...

    What to do - Restore or update & modify

    Series Leafers were pretty kuch at the limit of the possible modification when they phased them out and introduced the 90 & 110 in '83 with new suspension, transmission and different engines. Over the yeras poeple have done loads of stuff to them to make them more useful in modern conditions...

    Engine conversion

    sleeved spring wire cable, like you have on bicycles for the brakes and gears and 'stuff', amongst a million other applications. As opposed to the rod & lever linkage used on the SIII for the throttle originally.... not sure why it should make such a difference, but there speaks the voice of...

    Engine conversion

    best tip.... dont! not a goood match in a series, people do it cos they bolt to the siii bell no hasle just a bit of bashing mounts to make them line up, and the motors are cheap & plentiful at the mo, BUT.... power delivery is a bit hard and the siii box already weak, so they can destroy them...

    CB radio

    Start with this:- CB Radio As for where to get one; Maplins is cheap & not that great, but you can walk in & get off the shelf. Better, try Knight CB, or Thunderpole, & I cant find the links to the other two I thought of! Communications Eleven? Google CB in the UK..... but read the article...

    Off Roading??? Where can I go? I ive in the West Mids

    Google the ALRC and AWDC; both have lists of 'local' off-roading clubs that are members. Brum has the Midlands Land rover Club, runs events & P&P's at aston Cantlow, most often. Depending where you are though, you have LOADS to choose from if you look a little wider. Pick one that has most of...

    reg plates

    Sorry, I'm dyslexic.... G6AVB to me didn't read as G-Gav-B, but 66% alcholhol! (I know, its ABV innit, but letters shift round in my head!)

    How do you check a RRC alternator?

    Does the Rev-Counter work properly? does it do strange things like flick to the red-line for no apparent reason? (Especially when you try cranking the engine) Does it just 'trip out' or stop working whilst driving? The Rev-counter takes its signal from the alternator frequency. If the...
