Wicked thanks! Nice set up with the bar too! What seats are they?

AJM, any chance of a picture of the way you've attached them? Cheers

Cheers, was a bit worried about the strength of a bulkhead mounting! Topcat, Have been looking around the midlands for a pipe/tube bender type place, found a couple but not sure if they'l do a small order. I'll be trying to get in touch with them over the next week so i'll keep you posted...

I always thought there was a rule about the angle of the belt over the shoulder? Though weather that is related to age of vehicle like fitted belts in the rear i dont know! Could a harness be attached to the bulkhead in this way and be solid enough?

Was very bored and was channel hopping, came across that program where celebs get given cars to do challenges in. This one was an off road course in old ford grenadas! But what interested me was the training/recovery vehicle. It was well cut up bodywize and had leaf springs on tractor tyres...

Thanks 4 that, i'm in the midlands so it seems quite a way away, how much was it do u mind me asking? cheers

Hello again! Can anyone suggest where i might be able to get a not too expensive roll bar for a series 3? It doesnt have to be mega solid, really want it to mount harness to when the top is off, so would want it to fit inside hard top aswell. Would it need to mount to the chassis or just in the...

wish i was a farmer and not a teacher! you can give cattle a bit o a shove if they go the wrong way! u can use a dog to round em up too! U can vent your anger by shootin the pests, get into trouble if you try that in a school!

Talkin of doing stupid things with electricity.... Have you ever goined a couple of 9v batteries together the wrong way, leave em for a bit and you get some very interesting happenings! a while back mate of mine shoved a couple he'd 'borrowed' from a school in his pocket, they connected and he...

Where do you fit the gearbox breather? I've got axle breathers on there already, even i could find them!! but where do the gearbox ones fit, how do i get to it? And if the old ones are stuck open will it explain why the oil is running down the gearbox. And yes i know its on the gearbox...

yes i know! spot welded in! drilled out, bent a bit, hit with hammer pulled wiv chain supposed to be a serious weakness according to mot guy, if they were weak i'd hate to see what he called solid!!!! never mind done now, just need to repaint! thanks for the help! Still trying to sort a photo...

Just had a look in the ol haynes book, i found a diagram of the bulkhead and wots gone on mine is the bracket at the bottom under the door post, clear on the diagram (fig 12.4 in the book), the bit the tie bolt goes through. Could this be called a 'door pillar repair bottom bracket'? as any...

Ahh, bolts out i can do! It'l need cutting off by the look of it, totally nakered and rusted! weld, errm, NOPE! need to learn i guess It's me first land rover and i didn't realise how useful it would be! Got a decent welder at the local garage, not too expensive from what i can tell, welded...

The outrigger looks solid, its the bit on the end of it that the body bolts to, is this all one piece, it just looks like the bits the bolt goes through are separate parts? best way i can describe it is as a pair of parallel plates with a bolt through that appears to hold the body. It looks like...

I tried but gave up when the batteries went flat! it failed its mot but not on that!

Hello! The series 3 just failed the MOT on a body to chassis mount at the front, the one just behind the mud flap where the body bolts into, i can't seem to find the thing on any of the diagrams i have, anyone got any ideas as to where i'd find it? Thanks (again!)

Thanks Wil try to when i get home! The guy wot dun it runs a 1966 lwb as a recovery vehicle so i'm assuming he knows which way round they went if he did remove them. if they are on correctly i'm stumped!

Hello, The axle was dropped away complete, just the wheels removed. It was up on a lift and the axle supported on a stand. The swivels were not touched and look like they should as far as i can tell from the haynes pic. Plugs etc in the correct place. Could something be loose that would cause...

Hello! I've just had the front chassis legs replaced on the series 3 with some new leaf springs, the problem now is that the wheels are well out of line in terms of the 'top' being flared out as you look at the landy from the front. The parts of the tyres in contact with the road, 'bottom' of...

Cheers!
