don't forget to fit a radio suppression relay or you won't here anything apart from static

I've got a stereo in the 109. The 80's period Shaisho is mounted below the parcel shelf to the right of the gear knob so it doesn't crush my fingers. The speakers are mounted above the front seat belt top mounts and are directional boxes, I would be very surprised if you could mount a speaker...

note, after carrying out this repair it will take the ECU a while to relearn that it's sinuses are now clear and it can breath normally so you won't notice it immediately

what's the history of the vehicle? Has it been used for lots of town driving, short journeys and have you been putting cooking diesel in it? If you can answer yes to 2 of these questions then the chances are your fuel/air system is clagged up. remove the fuel filter, look at inside, if it is...

sounds like your turbo is boshed mate

from what I understand about the Avon tyre, the ranger you are referring to is the old crossply Mk2 7.5 tyre, the sort of tyre Desperate Dan would use on his pushbike rather than the modern Avon ranger which appears to be designed for dealing with the bumpy white line running along the road...

Morning, I'm trying to find a source for original tyres for a '74 Series 3. Keen to keep this one as original as possible. can anyone let me know the type, where it can be picked up or if there is a modern equivalent The other trucks all have modern sized ATs on them but the new 109 is...

I agree, I'm going to drop them a line with the how much if you MOT it question? I'm deeply suspicious of shiny metal and blacked out tyres. Having said that, if it is as straight as they say it is then the price is attractive enough. They will be counting on an enthusiast/one of us/deluded fool...

Following the death of one of our vans we are replacing it with a van bodied series 3 109 in fabulous honest condition, just had a reconned b series petrol fitted and extensive sympathetic restoration work. Even has a recent electric winch fitted to front, work lamps at back, the fairey...

We have a sankey and it is a wonderful trailer, its a large one that would have been used to carry Rapier ground to air missiles as the ammo cart for a Rapier unit. Tough, study, and with fantastic hydraulic brakes which give huge confidence when towing especially with an old series. Our one...

Our neighbour has offered us use of his 109 Series III which is a lovely vehicle were it not for its petrol engine which makes it of limited use for us on the refinery

Yes, 4WD is an option, the only problem is that we need the vehicle to drive 500 miles towing on Monday. I've just spoken with Mark and Jude at Mark's Garage, they have been fantastic. Mark doesn't have one in stock but he has several Series IIIs at home and is going to have a look and pull...

just left a message for coopers in Traenent, thanks for Marks - I'll try them Also asking around the farmers in case anyone has a scrapper in their yard

Can anyone help, I need to find a business within 100 miles of Edinburgh who could sell me a rear prop shaft for the Series III. (you may have seen my post about losing on of the Edinburgh bypass yesterday) We urgently need to get one of our diesel vehicles on the road as we can't take...

I'm fixing the brick to the cricket bat as we speak.. TECHNICAL QUESTION should I tie it on with barbed wire or drill holes in brick and fasten it with nails, the cricket bat is willow but even so I think big nails will probably split it so perhaps coach bolts? :mil5:

indeed, the bypass...and yes there were cars. They didn't get hit though. I walked the 1/2 mile back up the hard shoulder and the shaft was in the middle of the dividing lines of the dual carriageway. I called the police and reported it as it was on a blind 80mph corner and there was no way I...

Quite possibly although I did not immediately notice. The vehicle had been in the care of one of my employees until this morning when I collected it. He's no experience of driving one of these and I wonder if he's been fooling around with the levers. would make sense. the pillock

Arrgh, A720 this morning, horrible noise from under the car followed by a bang and a clang and the rear propeller shaft is seen bouncing down the road behind the car. RAC picked us up - it has sheared at both UJ joints and judging by the damage something has siezed somewhere - transfer box or...

Thanks wammers, again, invaluable advice. I've ordered a full rebuild kit with a new cylinder. Interesting what you said about the black seals, I noticed that the side of the seal with the tear had been caused by the teflon in that area being worn thin and it was also out of shape, could the...

great, Thanks for all the help, I'll have a detailed look this afternoon, either way it looks like it can be fixed easily, thank goodness the overdrive system seems to be made of industrial scale parts! Not the caramac and cotton wool system I had on my old Scimitar!
