Hello all. I posted a scam email i got in the 'anything goes' section. The person who sent it got in touch through the landyzone 'for sale' section as its the only place my series 3 is advertised! (is there a hint there?mmmm?) But seriously have a look! Taggy

Father in law gave me a catalogue from these guys, was looking through and saw this plus another few things. Was wondering if any of the fantastically all knowing members here has used them or if they think they will be any good! :D Metal Ready (20oz, 590ml) (S205) - Frost Auto Restoration...

liveridge look good guys, had a walk round their stuff no pressure jus let you get on with it!

I think antiburst has something to do with doors coming open under stress and chassis flex when heavily loaded, think it was the militaary that had the prob to start with, though i'm sure someone else on here can say for def! not exactly sure how you'd tell them apart though sorry!

brilliant thanks! just need to convince the mrs she does want to go see her dad in a couple o weeks so i can get on with it without the naggin!

yep looked at them seem to be good deal thanks.

Ok then, anyone know where i can get a decent deal on swivels balls for a series 3 with all the seals, bearing etc? i know there are lost of places to look but was wandering if anyone has seen a good deal anywhere! Also, what size nuts and bolts are needed to fix everyting to the axle housing...

£10.01 and the polo mint i just found covered in fluff at the bottom of me pocket.

Oh and while i'm here why is there a hole cut in the passenger side of the tunnel with a big rubber grommet in it? It doesnt appear to access much, never noticed as was covered up! ta!

Ok i've taken everything out and.....there is a bit of leakage from around the rods that move in and out when moving the gear lever, which is not a lot but looks responsible for the runs down the side of the 'box. However its not enough to be losing what i'm losing! i think i may have a seal...

Got a set of bottom brackets from paddocks seem to be good quality and fitted without much trouble after the spot welds were removed! If possible it would be easier and cheaper to just cut off the lower part of the bracket where the bolt goes through and weld the new on in its place, all depends...

I didnt fit any 'plate to my series 3, it does have some on the wing tops, but i do use it for resting a stove on when fishin, does that count as useful or have i the wrath of Slob heading my way! i again state I did NOT fit the checker plate, was on wen i got it! Though goldfish might add a...

be an interesting experience without it! do i go for standard floor bits or is there any benefit to the checker plate ones ive seen hanging in craddocks?

It looks like the echo is back again! hehe!

thank you all! I wil give it a go! I havnt attempted owt like gearboxes , but we gotta start somewhere it'l stil drive with no floor, be a bit flinstoney but the local garage guy is quite helpful! Could be an adventure! not sure its legal. i'm sure it cant be that bad, might even put new floor...

will really have to look from the top and see if i can locate exact point after a clean and a bit of a run!

Thinking about it it does seem that the trasnfer box is filling more than i put in it! Always runs out when i open it! But not a lot! it is such an obvious run down the side of the box and can be followed along, it does seem a lot of oil! I did think a dodgy seal between the transfer and gear...

Makes sense, all bow to the great Slob! Cheers for that! Sure i'll be back with more stupid questions though, try not to make tham so stupid in future, i'm new to all this! thanks for humoring me!
