Can anyone tell me what the differences are between the numbered conrods? I think my no.3 is bent...... see my previous thread for the carnage. 😆 And does anybody have one?

I haven't been here for a while...... :) So I'm at the lights, half a mile from home - I move off and there is a terrific bang just after I change into second, and the transfer box is suddenly in a neutral, gears grinding like crazy. Engine continues to run - it idles but lumpy. Good oil...

Hi Chaps, Been away for a while....:cool: I'm about to retire, so I'm old, knackered and leaping about is no longer my style, so I need some advice from someone who has been there, done that and got the T-shirt. I have a ratty but solid ex-mil FFR 109 petrol and two major projects in mind, in...

Hi Chaps, Quick one - does the union between the cast iron exhaust manifold and the steel exhaust pipe have a compressible sealing ring or is it the shove a cone into another cone type? It's blowing and I need to sort it. And what odds will you give me on the nuts/studs surviving the...

Just spotted this:- https://www.cambridge-news.co.uk/news/local-news/40000-rare-land-rover-stolen-15462923

Off to the local dump I was - heavy drizzle. Halfway there both my wipers on my series 3 decided that they'd be happier leaving, and so did. Surely there must be a fix for these useless splined boss/cheapo wiper arms.....

Eyup. What's the best strategy for securing and immobilising a tin-top? I'm planning on bolting a few quids worth of upgrades into it and I'd rather nobody nicked it! Ta!

Eyup you lot, I have an ex MoD S3 without a seat or seat belt in the middle, however the lap belt fixings are there. I wish to construct a comfy seat for my six-year old granddaughter to perch between my wife and I. What do people do, seatwise, in these circumstances?

Hello again you lot - does anyone have a 16" modular wheel like this one lying about going for not a lot? I need a spare! I'm in Stroud near Gloucester.....

Chaps/esses. I have a pair of ID plates that came off my ex- MoD FFR 109 Landy which is now fully reassembled. Is there a guide anywhere that shows where on the vehicle they should live? One's about 3x3 part no 5720 and has the VIN on it + "LAND ROVER UK LTD" and four lines saying 2760Kg...

Hi Team, The ****ing handbrake lever is now bruising my left knee. Who thought that was a good design? Are there alternative handbrake levers that can be fitted to an S3? Suggestions welcome.....

Evening all, I've just taken a misbehaving Zenith "Made in UK" off my 83 109 shed, and I have ordered a rebuild kit offa da net. I have probably overhauled a hundred or more carbs over the past fifty years, but never a 361V. New territory for me Can anyone point me to a good "how to overhaul...

Chaps/esses, Which way should the changeover valve jobbie point for which tank?

I reversed enthusiastically into a fence-post the other day with the offside rear of my 97 P38 4.6 hse with a petrol/LPG dual fuel system on it. Shortly thereafter I realised that the engine would no longer run on petrol.....runs fine on LPG. Question 1 - Does a P38 have an inertia switch...

Chaps/esses Does anyone have a Land-Rover to RAL colours conversion chart? I'm actually looking for the nearest RAL to the Series off-white or cream or whatever it's called - roof & wheels colour. I'm a bloke so I can only see in 16 colours. Many of those look the same.

Apols if this is a duplicate post - weird stuff has been happening..... My S3 is up for MOT ASAP - the cab & underbonnet plates agree with the V5; the chassis was replaced by PO and has the number obscured - it looks like someone has used a descaler to blat it out. What are the...

Hi chaps, How can I identify whether my MOD rebuilt engine is 3 or 5 bearing without dismantling anything? TIA

Here's a Q - 2.25 petrol ex-MoD in my 109 which I've only run a little whilst readying the shed for her MoT. The top end - inside the rocker cover, 2/3 of the way from the front occasionally gives a loud !!CLAT!! then returns to normal for several seconds, then another loud !!CLAT!! - repeat...
