Front brakes are 11", after a lot of wd40 I got the stuck pistons out with an airline but they are well and truly corroded so picked up a new set from the local 4x4 garage, I don't know enough to identify the axles and brakes, but they don't look like the axles on the old S2A lightweight I used...

Does anyone know if front brake cylinders are the same as a normal Series 3 Landy I suspect mine are seized on one side as the wheel is tight to turn, will see If I can get it apart tomorrow. My first look underneath and the rear diff has no level plug, I reckon they have fitted a different...

Thanks for the help guys, indicators and hazards now working plus all the lights, wipers etc, had to change the flasher unit and the hazard switch to get them to work, the electrics are a mess, cables spliced in everywhere and relays all over the shop but never mind its working, got it on a ramp...

Thanks for the wiring diagram and the info on the switches that helps a lot to understand what it should be like.

Lack of indicators is all I can find at the moment besides free time to fix it.

LH bearing and CV joint is new, RH is old but I think I will replace it as I am going to change the CV to get the correct reluctor ring and that way I will have a good set both sides. I have to change a front brake hose as well as I have just seen it has been rubbing and is worn so hopefully can...

I foolishly took the 6 month mot extension and now have to fix the warning lights and get the MOT, why I didn't do this all before? Ahhh! Last winter I replaced the strg hub ball joints, the sensors had to be drilled out and brit part ones were fitted, the reluctor ring on the RH side was...

Had another quick look, the only 12v I can find in use is the fuel pump shut off solenoid which is wired into a separate switch so far every thing else is 24v. The small fuse box marked up as 12v is all 24v power. Fitted new flasher unit but of course it does not work, seems to be no power at...

Its the 2.5 TD the one before the 200TDI, 19J I think they are known as, the alternator is 24V and its two battery's of course, most places I have tested seem to be 24v so far, the 12v tap on the battery is only a small wire so I don't think its anything heavy duty, I guess I could remove it and...

I have a S3 24v lightweight that has been converted to diesel, just had a look around it and the engine seems to be 24 electric and the lights but just wondered what is 12v as it has a small fuse box in the engine compartment marked up as 12v. The wiring on it is one hell of a mess and it will...

Thanks Guys, that's a repair chassis if it warrants it.

Thanks wireman, that gives me a good insight into making a decision on my 109, hope to get it on a ramp soon and give it a good check over and see exactly how bad its is, rear cross member is rotten for a start. Nice image of your 109.

Hi, Is the Ser 3 Military 24V chassis different from a civilian one or different in a minor way where a chassis change out would be possible or even possible to adjust the civilian chassis to suit. Murray.

Yeah, I was probably thinking it would plod along for years but who knows maybe the TD will also.

Thanks for news on bulkhead top. Unfortunately the diesel is the early 2.5 TD which I have heard is prone to failure, haven't purchased it yet but had a good look today, chassis looks ok already had a new back end welded on nicely. Its a bit tatty all-round especially the wiring under the...

Is a S3 lightweight devalued by having a later diesel fitted or is it the all round condition that matters more than having a diesel lump fitted, I understand they were all petrol originally and the S2A I had years ago was? Further question the top of the bulkhead around the vent flaps does that...

2001, 140k miles if its correct.

All fixed. the reluctor ring was cracked and loose on the cv joint and had gone out of view of the sensor, it was pretty rusty but cleaned up ok, a cheap ring from the bay fitted and it calibrated in a few yards and brakes work fine now. If I have the sensors out in the future I will just check...

Thanks guys, I will have the wheel off tomorrow and check it again.
