Good thinking, will do that asap

:D:D Funny thing is Bobsticle, that was exactly the problem, took off the rad grille and found two wires with very sorry looking bullet connectors (unconnected) hanging down. Removed bullets, cleaned up wires and crimped on two spades, and there was light! :D

Cheers guys, will have a look in the morning :)

Hi guys Got a problem with my headlights. Headlights wont work at all, side lights come on ok as do tail lights. All indicators working fine. The main beam warning light is lit up but main beam wont work either. Bulbs are ok and all fuses ok too. Anyone got any ideas please?

Yeah I think it could be , thing is, I don't need the hand throttle so I'm thinking of modifying it along the lines of the Glencoyne conversion, just got to figure out the best way :)

Already tried that, linkages work fine without cable connected, won't work when connected. Going to have to set up some kind of rod assembly

Hi again guys, so, got the clutch/gearbox/manifold problems sorted, and lo and behold another problem has raised it's ugly little head. Put the battery back in today and decided to fire her up, pressed the accelerator pedal, and nothing. had a look in the engine bay and cable doesen't seem to...

Turns out they were the wrong studs, Britpart and too thin for the stud holes. Looks like I'll have to try the local factors or have some made up. This two day job is at almost three weeks now :D

Cheers Doug, will do

Brilliant, cheers John

Cheers guys, took it to a Land Ranger place today and he said the friction plate was okay for a while. Bought a new bearing and slave cylinder, £57 :( and took the old slave out today, very gunky and very easy to push piston down. I'll try your suggestions tomorrow and possibly go with a new...

Had to remove the exhaust manifold from my 1978 S3 with a 200di engine. The manifold is from an S3 with the 3 studs connected to the downpipe. I've got the new manifold but it has no studs and the only ones I can find are these on ebay which say "Fits Land Rover Series 3 (1971 to 1974)" so would...

Okay, I finally got the gearbox off (after dismantling most of the cab) and to be honest I'm not totally sure what I'm looking at now. I'm no expert at this and would appreciate the advice of those in the know. I pulled the fork from the box and it seems to be a heavy duty one that looks ok, the...

That would be brilliant Blackburn, cheers. Please let me know the cost of postage and I'll sort it out with you

Thanks Blackburn, turns out the manifold was from a series 3 not a disco, so I've bought the one pictured, this is the one which was clamped on with washers :) so I thought better the devil you know. So now this is going to be clamped onto a Disco 200DI block but which would be the best gasket...

Thanks Kommer, the saga continues, disconnected everything and today undid the exhaust, as I moved it there was a cracking sound from the engine bay. Long story short, I removed the exhaust manifold and it does not look good, basically clamped on with bloody washers and leaking like a sieve...

Thanks very much for your replies guys, think maybe replacing the whole thing may be the way to go, better safe than sorry and all that. Are the kits from Paddock any good?

Hi all, my S3 with a 200di disco engine started making a horrible whining sound from the engine this morning. Been out in it this afternoon thinking it was the belt and noticed the gears were getting harder to engage, developed the horrible burning smell, wouldn't go in gear and the pedal now...

Okay end of the day it cost me £350. If anything its taught me to keep on top of everything and learn as much as I can about Landy's. I still need to do both front wheel bearings and now replace the tail lights as the Britpart crap I put in last week have basically melted around the bayonet...

Thanks for the replies fellas, it's a diesel and has failed on: Parking brake: efficiency below requirements (3.7.C.1b) nearside front Headlamp aim too high (1.8) offside front Headlamp aim too high (1.8) nearside front Vehicle structure has excessive corrosion, seriously affecting its strength...
