When it comes to roll over I think the series 2/2a [ in good nick ] was better. The steel screen frame is very strong and bolted to the bulkhead. Back then it was considered fine for 4x4 trials to just have the screen up and nothing else. Things...
A young lad pulled out in front of me once in my 04 Defender and despite trying my best I couldn't completely avoid him. The impact bent my steering rod and dented a wing a bit. I was fine as was my son who was in a child seat on the passenger...
Not done any of above [ I am LT77 ] but I have R380 manual. It says layshaft, output shaft and selector shaft come out of casing as a unit. Then remove input shaft and 4th gear baulk ring if it did not come out with output shaft. Hope this...
Figures show [ forget where I saw them ] that Series and Defenders have one of the lowest level of fatal and serious injury numbers for accidents on the road. It is just not the strong chassis but the fact it is not a fast vehicle and is...
I fitted the new sensor and everything started working, although it did seem to take a little longer than normal to reach operating temperature. To err on the side of caution, I will do a full coolant flush and replace tomorrow.
Is your truck a pre tdi model that has had a 300 conversion?
If so the previous models had no relay.
Glow plugs are ignited in the spring position on the key. It go's, turn key on and dash lights come on. Turn a bit more and feel the pressure...
Had same issue on my tractor oil cooler feed last year, fixed as above @boguing.
If a small hole a self tap screw and pile of tape to hold it in may do.
If your series 3 is a standard truck or perhaps just an engine change it would not be a problem.
If say it was modified to be on coils with non standard transmission then that would be another matter and even if approved historic/classic on the...
The bush and seal are in the axle are they not? Look in axle case parts? I have little experience with the Salisbury but the basic set up is much the same as rover. Cheers.
I think most of us in this situation would have bulkhead, clutch, brake and steering controls, engine and box/transfer box in place. then run and drive the truck a bit even if it is only a short way. In low box you can go through all the gears...
Well the only people who wont know it is not a safari one are lr folk, the rest will have no clue, and at 1/4 of the price who cares what others think?
Find out why your heater is not working. 300's hate getting overheated due to the high water pump and possible air locks in system and first sign is no heat from heater.
As above, adjusting the bite point with the brakes coming on at the point in that travel [ about half way ] when most leg pressure is exserted will help. How many miles have you done since the new stuff fitted? Brakes need bedding in.
Warning...
In poor condition, Defender seats are rubbish. The foam falls to bits over the decades, making them lumpy and uncomfortable. The solution is to simply refurbish them, rather than mess around trying to fit other seats in there. New internal foams...
