Hello, Anyone got hold of a SIII steering box recently? Having real trouble finding one. Lots of people listing refurbished units and original parts are in fact out of stock. If you got hold of one recently - where did you get it please! I have an aversion to blue packaging... Cheers J

I know I'm doing something daft... Decided to fit a Simon BBC Powerspark Dizzy. Have got it in fine, all hooked up, but no sign of life when I turn the key. The only 'symptom' is when I turn the ignition the 'cold start' choke light is now not coming on, like it did always before. What's...

hello! SIII SWB 1972. I've just installed a very expensive set of points. As I was leaning in to set the gap. I punctured the back of my newish radiator with a light press from a screwdriver! My original rad was blocked, so got a plastic and aluminium one fitted. Turns out it's pretty feeble...

Hello, My SIII has developed the following electrical fault: No lights on - indicators work fine. Sidelights on - indicators work fine. Headlights on - headlights glow dimly and spot lamps are on, left indicator on constant (no flashing). Right indicator works fine. I have a spare...

Hello, I was in those floods on the news last week! Landy got me home safe and dry but a few days later wouldn't start... Cranking fine but no spark. Tried the spark plug on the block from dizzy, nothing. Tried swapping the coil (both Lucas) as I have a spare, no change. Tried connecting...

Hi! My 2.25 petrol starter motor is on the way out, looking to order a new one. I can only find genuine mega expensive ones or Britpart or worse "replacement [non specific = Britpart]" Anyone bought a half decent one recently, can you point me in the right direction? Ta.

Hello, Anyone fitted new half shafts recently? Several very handy guides to changing them that I'll be reading on the bus home :eek: but can't find anything on makers. Seems LR, Allmakes, Bearmach and Britpart are available, so that leaves a choice of Bearmach or Allmakes unless the LR...

Hello, Waiting for a new leaf spring dowel (old one rust welded to the axle) has given me some time to think about reassembly of the complete spring to the vehicle! The manual talks about either running a chain under a trolley jack and over the chassis, makes sense, but their second option of...

Hi, I know better than to buy Britpart, however I picked up a coil on eBay, new part £10 from a "quality manufacturer" - lasted 3 months. I was gutted when my 'quality part' arrived in the dreaded blue and white box. SIII refused to spark last week and I immediately suspected the coil. The...

I am skiving and want to order some as mine is in rag order. Thanks :)

Hello, Any thoughts on what caused this please? Driving home today, moving slowly in traffic and then there was a puff of black smoke from under the bonnet and the engine cut out. :eek: Restarted immediately and I pulled over, engine running perfectly fine static. Drove home and no further...

Hi folks, Decided to replace my SIII's carb (a very old Webber 34 ICH) with a brand spanking new identical one. It wasn't working properly when idling, probably just mucky and some of the linkages were looking tired casing a little rusty. So rather than clean and rebuild I just put in a new...

Henrietta failed her MOT :( But... she failed on corrosion of the brackets that sit between the chassis and the floor just above and behind the rear diff. Pic Here: IMG_0846 | Flickr - Photo Sharing! Yellow chalk marks on them. Now... this is my second series III my previous one these were...
