I'm trying to find the engine number. The ID tag under the bonnet ( one with chasis number on too) must have fallen off at some point. I'm assuming it must be stamped somewhere else on the engine?? cheers Mark

After a year of work, got my series 3 through it's MOT. However, went for first decent drive in it since I bought it and the thermostat seems to be recording a water temp just within the filled in white C area on the guage on the dash. Should it not be in the 'normal' range? New Thermostat...

Finally put 1980 SWB sIII in for MOT this morning and it failed on two counts. 1 Brake balance. Apparently front ones weren't engaging properly, 30 % of what they should be. My line of thinking was that I've pushed the shuttle valve out on the dual line system? does this sound reasonable and...

Booked my 1980 series 3 2.25 petrol in for it's MOT for monday- been off the road for a couple of years with the previous owner. Had a big list which it failed on last time which I've worked through, however, the one I'm a bit unsure what i can do before it goes in, is the emissions. Have...

Had issues with old starter motor, took that out no probs (one with seperate solonoid). Come to replace with new all in one starter motor RTC5225 and can't get it to line up to fit with the holding bolts. It's a 1980 5 bearing engine 2.25. Has anybody had similar difficulties? or is it...

Have posted a couple of questions already on the forum but thought i'd take the time to give a bit of history of what I've got ! Bought of ebay a 1980 series III truck cab 5 bearing engine and canvas hood. Always wanted a landy and have owned it now for 2 months and couldn't be happier with...

As part of my push to get my landy through it's MOT i've decided to renew the pipe work / cylinders to the rear of my SWB 1980 landy. have got the copper pipe work and the imperial male ends to fit into the new cylinders. my question is do I have to solder the copper pipe whilst it is inside...

Afternoon all, first post, so here goes!. Have just acquired 1980 series III Landy which hasn't had the heating working for a while it appears. Have tech manual, but can't for the life of me figure out where the heater valve goes. Have 5 bearing engine but not sure that counts when locating...
