Some progress, Ive fitted the bonnet hinge bushes and made a wee seal from some canvas from my old Ser 2 hood....Steve2268W, Ive only got kind of inset seals in my vents which were fine for Spain...am ordering a set of seal now!

I was self employed and spain changed the goalposts after brexit, needed to continually make a certain profit every year to qualify etc also the Mrs couldnt get residency as she works in the UK, prior to brexit it wasnt an issue due to freedom of movement, theres more, i could go on and on and on.

Thanks Steve, yes Ive got seals in, seem to be fine altho maybe ......looking at them again, they’re certainly not the right pattern, something someone else has done before me I think....

Great minds! Yes, I replaced the lower windscreen to bulkhead seal last year! So am narrowing things down gradually.... I’m an Argyll native, spent a few years in spain till brexit bolloxed it and home we came

Ahve just ordered them, nae shoes for the kids this year

Thanks for that, I had totally overlooked the function of the bushes! Am off to order some, will get them on and try the hosepipe test!

Excellent, will try that. Upon investigation this afternoon its coming through the clutch pedal box, which was replaced with a new gasket a year ago. Am thinking preventing water gettin in between the bonnet an bulkhead is preferable to taking all the brake servo and clutch box out and...

Yes , am pretty sure I dint have those either☹️ If no seal fitted originally, has anyone fitted one something like a door seal alomg that channel against the bulkhead?

hi folks, in the joys of pouring rain and howling winds that constitute ‘summer’ in Argyll, I’m having to use the Series as a daily driver as my other cars in the garage☹️ Have discovered an annoying leak through the clutch pedal (its an LHD) and I was wondering if there should be some sort...

Excellent, thanx

hi all, am replacing the original pigtail glowplugs with new ones and am replacing the original 1970s wiring as well! Can I just check that I’m right in thinking that the glowplug wires are 60A so 6 mm sq. wire would be the right? Thanks all .

Yes, it was used on the farm for the first couple of years then went on to a TF plate......i painted it with spanish navy boat paint initially here it is in the mountains

Stuck it n a shipping container with house stuff, wasnt that expensive at all. Drove it a lot over the canaries and voyages to the mainland, great truck never let me down. Used it for my tree business.... old banana farmer painted it yellow,wi a bloody great banana logo on it, so i repainted...

Spent most of its life on a banana farm on Tenerife, bought it off the old boy when we lived there, great rover, had it a fair few years now and no probs at all. 100% original

Here its not even the first date .....

Its quite handy actually. Although I left the safari hard top in spain when we moved back. Am kicking myself repeatedly now

Mine is on the frame for the soft top. Was just installed by local garage and the mech is also the mot inspector so its all cosha. Looks fine when the tops off, take the back frame off and leave the front part

Exactly this, the boys with the sliderules knew what should go on it. Stick with that.

I had that problem in the flasher unit itself was poor connections, took the whole thing to bits and soldered the connectors. No problems since. You can check the flasher unit with a multimeter on the wires to eliminate probs further back up the line
