Can you still buy a new Freelander Commercial? I know the Disco is available but there's no mention on the LR site of the Freelander. I want one to use as a commercial not as a VAT free family car but can't afford a Disco so looking at Freelander and also Shogun SWB commercial. Thanks!

Hi guys, Might be a stupid question but I'm trying to understand the bikini hood stick arrangement. Can I just use the standard first hoop behind the cab or would I need a different hoop which would add to the cost? Thanks, Andrew

Is it a case of brute force?! Got the replacement and it doesn't seem to be threaded. Previous one was doesn't seem keen to come off. Should I just get the grips on it? Thanks, tried a search but no joy.

I've used it extensively on my cars but never specifically on a series LR roof. Beyond my personal recommendation I'm sure google will present videos of interest. Good luck.

If it's rust/contamination try a product called IronX. It's a detailing product that makes bonded fillings/fallout "bleed" out of the paint. Fascinating.

Thanks for some really helpful responses. Going to buy a couple of books to help with future questions. Rather than replace the heater I'll do a bit of a summer refurb on the existing one and see where we get to. It's actually producing heat at the moment. So it isn't dire but I expect it has...

Hi, Recently acquired Series 3 ragtop with 2.25 petrol. Running sweet at the moment. Probably did about 55/60 miles yesterday in total on A roads through a couple of towns and down a couple of farm tracks. Gauge never climbed out of the white "C" part of the gauge. I believe the gauge is...

Morning All! I picked up first a Series this weekend (I've had moderns before) and I'm over the moon with it. It's an early series 3 ragtop in limestone white. Still has the 2.25 petrol and it doesn't seem to have been overly meddled with. Now, I'm not a rivet counter, nothing against people...

In the end I went for a really smart (in my eyes!) series 3. Finding a good, clean LR 90/110 for around £5k seemed like an impossible task which is why I was so keen on this one. It's just donkey work I think, even with cash in your back pocket. Good luck though!

That's the one! Exactly. Knew I'd seen it! Thanks so much.

I Pm'd the seller myself a while ago with a mobile. Genuine buyer but didn't hear anything back. So genuine in fact I've bought a different one now. Think he might have sold it?

Really?! I can't find a single one of the type I mean in the box that you cut into the seat box. Do you have any item numbers I could search with?

Thanks for both responses. I've snapped it up because it should definitely fit. Thanks again.

A little while ago I spotted one of the parts suppliers were doing a red key isolator within a black recessed box that you cut into the seat box so that the key couldn't be knocked and I thought it would look quite neat fitted. Planned to buy one. Now I can't find it again anywhere. Can anyone...

Morning all, I need a little help from someone with a series 3 and a measuring tape. I don't collect my first S3 until this weekend all being well but I've been looking for a dog box for the back. There's a particular brand that I prefer and have in my other car and one has come up locally at...

Thanks for all the replies. Very helpful. I've seen the fume curtains from Paddock trim and they do seem like a good idea for the rag top in winter. Last newbie question for a while I promise: do series 3s have removable door tops or is it only the earlier series models? Thanks!

Hi, Sorry, I'm much more up to speed with modern Land Rovers but I'm going to look at a '72 Series 3 soft top next week. Will it have a heater? Do all Series 3s have heaters? I've got no plans to drive it every day but I'd like to be able to use it through winter and I'd like a heater of some...

No plates because "it's been used on a farm last few years." That's no farm truck. Not even a decent attempt at explaining its chequered history.

I wouldn't go as far as blatant but at the price it did seem a bit too good to be true, and it was. Just I'm case anyone's tempted.

Hi! Limited budget as this will be very much a second car. Dog to the beach, odd load of logs, bimble to the shops LR rather than my previous which were principle vehicles. I'd like to end up with something as standard and tidy as possible either a 90 or 110 or indeed a Series 3 that hasn't...
