The-V8-Man sorry I didn't reply to your text my phone decided it wasnt up for working yesterday, hope you all had a good day as I saw you all at boxhill (I was with the bikers...not all of them! + my dad) Maybe next time I can reply I'll actually join you on it!

Hey there, quick bit of history. 1974 series 3, SWB 2 and a quarter litre diesel. Runs great, and recently passed MOT with no major issues after replacing the shocks all around, brand new springs all around and the rear crossmember has been cut off and replaced with a pristine new one (old...

@Mud-4-it that'll be fine thanks I'm free some weekends and every wednesday but we'll see when it comes to it @The V8 man I'll PM you my mobile number but that'll be great, I've done them before but follow the "never go alone" rule to the letter.

If anyone's going to do the lanes around Bookham/Dorking (Bocketts farm) tomorrow or early sunday and doesn't mind an amateur tagging along then PM me please :)

Hey there, I'm more closer to London but travel down to Bookham to do those lanes with a friend every now and again, now that the series is back I'm happy to do some soon if anyone else is going? PM me or bump the thread if theres anything else planned Particularly for this saturday or early...

Electricals are all fine, multimetered them and its strong. The Battery, well the new one hooked up with jump leads to a running modern car didnt improve it atall.

Hey all, I've got a 1974 Series 3, 2.25 Diesel. Was all going well (ish since I broke the exhaust) until it came to starting it to move it to a better location to fit the exhaust when it wouldn't start, it hadn't been moved in 24 hours, but I've gone and replaced the 6 year old battery anyway...

Pike, I had to bleed mine (yes I ignored the light and hence the topic!) but that's what we did, however We were on a slope so it took 20 litres of fuel to get the tank back up to the fuel pipe so it could suck fuel in. Is the pipe too short? I know we were on a slope so the fuel sloshed to the...

Heya'll. I have a slight worry, My S3 SWB Diesel 2.25 is running lovely (Until I go uphill with a quarter of a tank, then she dies and you have drive up backwards) But while greenlaning this weekend I noticed a RED flashing light, every now and then to the right of the clocks/fuel gauge...

Footman James are mine and their list of supported Landy Clubs is short unfortunately, but I may push them for my local one rather than a nationwide one for the time being. They did say no to the forum though, despite it being a very wide spread owners club for all Landy owners and brilliant...

Hey all, I'm not as new as I seem, have been lurking around reading up a little during my time here. Anyway, Arguement with my Father about insurance, now, I'm sure I'm right as I've dug up various threads and showed him them regarding the subject. However, with Footman James, is there a...

Ok advice taken in, I didn't assume a larger cyclindered engine would rev higher, I assumed it'd produce more overall power and therefore be able to power a (higher? lower) ratio'd gearbox with more ease than the regular 2.25 diesel engine that's currently in it, it seems to make sense or is...

Hey there, I'm fairly sure you've had many of these before but everyone likes their own thread about their own thing so here I go 1974 3 series 2.25 Diesel engine, hard top, etc etc blah blah. It has some custom electrics in it (previous owner put reverse lights on it Hoooray!!!) And...

Ok right, similar question on mine. I don't have to deal with little ones, my little brother's above the height limit and 12 in december. Basically 3 upfront on my 88" series 3 and 4 sideways seats in the rear. One belt each for the front and only two on the back, the two with belts in...

Can anyone vouch for this deal? I've plenty of $$$$'s to spend and I want to buy something I don't need!

Oh dear. I came on into here to find out local greenlanes to me and I stumbled upon a massive arguement! Damnit! Ah well while I'm here, anyone know good places around surrey? I like the original poster (all those years ago!) live near boxhill (ish) and my dad has taken me greenlaning before...

I like it too but I think the Monodrome one is better for me (primarily because of my friends and the 7 seats) but Also I prefer the colour, despite it being a respray. And In regard to Langers comment on INsurance. I also got that quote for the one I posted up, they said it was competitive...

Nope Adrian flux said they wouldn't be able to, possibly due to age though so I'm understanding about it. Tomorrow though, my dad shall get a quote under himself so we may be able to buy the one I want. After much deliberation I've decided upon this 3 series NICE 1974 SERIES III DIESEL...

I shall definitely be investing in some tools, and am leaving a "grey" area of my budget for "Miscellaneous" things such as that, incase things crop up. I am aware of fronting and I don't think I want to do that really, would prefer to get a policy for myself for the meantime and learn that...
