    Series 3 Overheat after motorway run

    Mine was running on the cool side even in 30+ temps in the Canaries, took the stat out and found it was wedged wide open, yours might be doing the opposite, first port of call, check stat. Easy fix. Then rad, esp if it’s an old one

    Installing a new canvas top

    Excellent, cheers, Ive installed it all now and tightened it down, should be fine, am well impressed with the quality, my last one was Exmoor which was much much thinner compared to this Allwheel trim one.

    Installing a new canvas top

    Morning all, I've just put a new Canvas truck cab top on the series, comes from All wheel trim and I'm delighted with the quality. Question is, is it best to tension down the rear flap while it shrinks or leave it looser? Last one I put on was when I lived in the Canaries where rain wasn't a...

    Throttle Linkage

    Thanks Steve, thats useful. Info. I think the spring you are seeing is for the hand throttle. Think I’ve fixed it, see above, had a brainwave, which is beyond rare for me. Anyway, thanks everyone, a 12 mm spanner did the trick on that wee nut.

    Throttle Linkage

    Yes, I get that. Just had a look at the pump end, which doesn't have any springs on it ☹️ weird! I reckon lack of tension is the issue but I can't see how to tighten the bugger up

    Throttle Linkage

    Throttle Linkage

    Hi All, I've never had any probs with the throttles on any of my rovers..until now! The throttle cable is periodically popping out of the small bearing.. As per the 2nd pic... and I can't figure out why! Anyone had a similar issue, is it just wear I wonder? 1976 lhd Series 3 diesel
