So here's one of those questions that I probably ought to know the answer to already. But I don't. Do you use copper grease or similar with nyloc nuts? I want fastenings protected but does it reduce the grip of the nyloc?

Just back from a little family jolly and wanted to share a couple of nice Landies I saw. The first one has been on here before I think but it's a belter. Just near the abbey with lovely ice cream with free Dracula blood sauce (quite a lot like strawberry). The other is just a working landy. Not...

Hello everyone. Has anyone had experience of LVLP spray guns. I've decided that they are the way forward for my project and already had sage advice from @Bobsticle and @Disco1BFG. Now i'm just bewildered by the choice. Has anyone got or used one that they would recommend. Cheap is the key. I...

Hi. A quick question about this manky thing. I'm getting to the point where I need to refit it (I have cleaned it up but don't have a picture handy). Does it matter where the pipes connect? I know how they came off so can reconnect the same way but I could run the pipes neater if I change...

Hi. Quick question about these things. Part no 596490 locking tab for series manifolds. First question is does anyone bother with them and then if so which bolts are they supposed to go to. Mine didn't have any when I took it to bits but they're cheap so I thought I might as well do the job...

Hi. Can anyone please tell me if the brake pedal box from a series 2/2a fits a non servo series 3. Thanks.

Hi. Can you help me get over my confusion about what product to use for sealing threads. I'm working on my steering box at the moment and the bolts for the bottom plate need something to seal them. The manual says to use Wellseal and I see it is available on ebay and not too expensive. Another...

Hi. I'm refurbishing my steering box at the moment but there seems to be a part on my steering column that i'm not seeing on other peoples or on the how to videos on youtube. Here's some photos. It's a small collar and it's stopping the top bearing race coming off. It's got to come off as it's...

Hello everyone. I've just finished rebuilding my steering relay. Full story will go on my rebuild thread soon but i'm after advice please. It's gone from from just too slack for what the manual says to much too tight. To sort this the manual says to take the end caps off one at a time...

Hi. I'm just going over my fuel pump and giving it a refurb (series 3 1978 petrol). I thought i'd go a bit mad and treat it to the genuine Land rover parts so bought AEU2760 refurb kit. I've fitted the 2 small valves fitted in the top casting no problems. The main diaphragm looked fine at a...

Hi. It's a series 3 2.25 petrol. Bores have been honed. Ready to put the pistons back in with nice new rings. Not sure where to put the gaps. How about as per the drawing? What do you all think?

Hi. Could anyone please tell me the difference between bronze green and deep bronze green? I have a series 3 88. I won't be painting the whole thing, just patching in as needed. I appreciate it probably won't match too well but i'm ok with that. It's been badly painted red in the past and then...

Ok, this might be a bit OCD of me but here goes. I need to find out where to fit the four way junction for the brake pipes that sits on top of the drivers side chassis just in front of the bulkhead. Mine had been bodged back on as near to it's original position as possible given that there was a...

Hello. Don't know if this will be of any interest but here goes. About 1973 my dad worked for Aveling Barford a manufacturer of earth moving equipment in Grantham. They sold a lot of kit all over the world and dad would occasionally have to go to instruct the local workers on how to use and...

Hi. Hopefully this will be a nice straight forward one. I am starting to refit these seals in the driven flange. I thought they went in with the white felt on the inside and the black rubber bit facing out. When I looked at how they had been fitted by the previous owner a couple were the...

Hi. I'm looking for a good, usable front stub axle for series 3. Needs to be the pre 1980 version, part no 599826. Does anyone happen to have one that they would be prepared to part with? This would save me a lot of hassle. Or does anyone know of a good land rover breakers? My internet searches...
