Thanks for the responses. So the shackles are threaded. I tried to move them but they are solid. The nuts came off no problem. Bit worries now as if the bolts won't break free then I'm buggered unless I cut the heads off and drill them out which is a massive job. Would a air driver wheel but...

I have bought some 2" lift shackles for my series 3 SWB and today I attempted to fit them. I managed to get the nuts undone but couldn't get the bolts to turn or knock out. An I being silly here? Are the bolts part if the shackle? If so then I will need to get some more bolts. If this is the...

Yeah already ordered it. If you want my old one PM me with you address and you're welcome to the old one.

Yeah. I know they'll stick out a bit. Gonna order an arch extension kit. Not too worried about the turning circle. It's only my weekend plaything. Don't use it for commuting or the like. Just want that really wide look.

Right, here goes. Bought a 1972 series 3 SWB. Love it and have started sorting little jobs. However, the thing doesn't start well and I noticed the heater plug light doesn't light on the ignition and flickers when the engine is turned over. Turns out it has a petrol ignition barrel do a diesel...

All that just to get into the local dump? How often are you planning on going?

Scratch that. Just been on eBay and got a brand new 4 switch diesel barrel and key for £230 delivered. Again, many thanks for the advice.

Mine is 3 position. Off, aux then start. Bugger. Can I fit a heater switch or do I need a 4 position switch?

Many thanks for that. I'll have a look. To be honest I do t think anything has ever been upgraded so will probably be the old ones. I'll have a check.

Hi. The cold start bulb on my 19£2 series 3 doesn't light up when I turn the ignition on but when I turn it over it flickers slightly but dim. The car seats but takes quite a bit of turning over first and runs rough and very smoky until its warm. Anyone got an idea as to if this is a...

I may be wrong but i think the pump should pump constantly. The fuel filter should be 1/2 - 3/4 full. Otherwise you won't be getting a feed into the carb. I'm no mechanic but I hope this helps.

Search "Landrover Series headlamps" on eBay. There's quite a few including conversion kits to halogen headlights and some tacky ones with white LED around the edge.

Cheers for that. Hadn't thought about raising the profile.

I just called the wheel and tyre supplier and he has said that the 265 package comes with zero offset on the rims. He said this should negate the tyres hitting the chassis. Is this correct or is he spinning me a line.

Would the 265's bee too wide to clear the arches even with the lift kit fitted?

Following a silly question about tyre sizes I am appealing to all of you to help me make a decision. I am new to this having only bought my 1972 series 3 SWB a week or so ago. I am getting a wheel and tyre package in the next few weeks but need help choosing the right one. I have fitted...

Many thanks. I didn't search first. Thanks for the help.

I was looking to fit a set of 265/75 R16 tyres to my 1972 series 3 SWB. However I have also seen a set of 33x12.50 R15 that I like. I can understand that these are on smaller diameter rims but what are the comparisons on the tyre sizes. Are they about the same size?

I've recently bought a 1972 series 3 SWB. However. Apart from the indicator and ignition bulbs none of the others work. I'm hoping that it's just the bulbs gone but can't find any online. I'm new to this so sorry for such a mundane question but can someone point me in the right direction.

Wow. That's a lot more than I anticipated. Hopefully I won't need to do all that.
