    What have you done to your Landie today.

    Easy, just flush the blocked heater matrix, unblock the valve on top of the engine and replace the wiring to the blower.

    What have you done to your Landie today.

    Fixed the heater on my 88". I can now see where I am going without having to wipe the condensation off the screen every couple of minutes. It still only has 2 heat settings though, hot and very hot.

    Canvas Roof Height?

    Just measured mine, when empty the height from the ground to the highest point of the roof is 198cm. That is an 88 on 7.50 tyres. From the top of the door to the top of the roof is 25 cm.

    Series 3 steering wheel removal

    One thing I would suggest is to loosen the nut off but not take it off completely. The first time I took mine off it needed a bit of force and when it broke free it flew off the shaft and smacked me across the nose.

    Wanted Series drop down tailgate

    Are you likely to be heading down this way anytime soon? If not I can probably meet somewhere convenient for both of us to collect it

    Series 3 dead electrics then smoke from component on jump starting

    This might be a stupid question, but are you sure your landy hasn't got a positive earth? This would certainly explain the sparks when connecting the leads.

    I think I might be be able to salvage that. How much are you asking for it?

    I have a proper Landy again!

    The paint is a bit too far gone for just t-cut, I think the guy who last painted did it with his eyes closed! It is definitely not a county, it started life as a Hardtop. I am going to going to paint it pastel green and covert it to a soft top eventually.

    I have a proper Landy again!

    After 4 years of Freelander ownership I have gone back to having a proper Landy again, a 1980 Series 3. Paint work isn't great, in fact it looks like it was painted by a blind man in a hurry but structurally and mechanically it is great. Just drove 180 miles from Chelmsford at 60-65 mph with no...

    What have you done to your Freelander today

    Replaced the alternator belt, what a pain in the arse that was. Whoever designed the engine bay and thought that mounting the engine with 2" between the belt pulleys and inner wing was a good idea deserves to be fisted by a gorilla wearing boxing gloves! :mad:

    Tyres - Goodrich, Cooper or ...?? Def 90 - 265x75x16's X 4

    I have Event ML698+'s which are basically a clone of the BF Goodrich A/T on my Freelander. So far they have done everything I need them to do. They have coped well with the quite muddy lanes I have done and muddy campsites were no problem at all, much better than the road tyres on a couple of...

    Series 3 or not?

    Thanks guys, think I will leave this one well alone.

    Series 3 or not?

    I'm a bit confused about this Land Rover. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/154601909458?hash=item23fefdecd2:g:b-IAAOSwVgdfv2gP I am looking to buy a late Series III Land Rover or early Defender and came across this one. The age of the registration would correspond to it being a later series 3, but...
