I am just about to repair the wiring to the rear lights as someone has cut and bodged it badly in the past. What I am not sure of because I don't have a pic with enough detail (Duh) is how much the loom to the rear sticks out from the chassis member on the drivers side down the side of the...

I just fitted the repro folding rear step to my S3, got it on although I will have to do some mods to the towing bracket and tank mount, these are not unexpected. However it doesn't lie horizontal when folded down and the "down" stop is too short and the little reinforcing stop on the bracket...

My old avatar was a gif with movement, uploaded a new one and it is frozen, tried uploading the original working one and it is now frozen. Am I missing something that allows gifs to animate when loaded?

Does anybody have a reasonably priced source for a folding rear step for a S3 109, All I seem to be able to find is Defender steps which in pics look like they have different mounting points.

There seems to be a lot of conflicting info about what bulkhead removal bars will fit series LR's. Possibly because of the lack of available and suitable bars for the 88". There seems to be more ambiguity about Defender bars fitting the 109" Utility version. Has anyone fitted one and can...

Got the gearbox from the 78 six pot fully in bits to inspect and rebuild. The good news, after finding two teeth and the synchro clips in the sump when draining the oil, is that it must have been rebuilt pretty much right before the engine seized and it was taken off the road over 20 years ago...

Anybody know where I can get the proper manual for the Mayflower capstan winch, A search around the internet tonight didn't produce one, even for sale. The one for the similar Aeroparts one I found and have downloaded but the specific one for the MAP/Fairey one does not seem to be available...

Have been looking for one but even knackered and in need of refurb they seem to be getting silly prices put on them, one currently on fleabay going for £1400 and its pretty fooked with bits missing. a fully refurbished one goes for that with all the parts. I am still casting around for one...

I thought it might be useful to have a thread for projects to include welding advice where we can all learn how to do jobs, ask about kit and maybe, if you watch me, see what not to do:rolleyes: This will save hijacking others build threads and maybe allow us to see smaller projects and pick up...

Does anybody know if there are more than one type of stub axle thread fitted to Series 109's? I stripped cleaned and painted the two front stub axles on my rebuild and have found that putting the two locknuts on one it is pretty stiff to turn the nuts. One was stiff on disassembly but I just...

I nicked one of the Britpart swivel ball seals before I even got near the vehicle. Anyway I ordered a new one and ended up getting genuine LR ones rather than Britpart. They arrived this morning and while more substantial as expected the rubber seals themselves are much stiffer and harder than...

Whats the story with the rear mudflaps these days for 109's, does anyone make the brackets or have a drawing to make them? Having a look around they seem to range from not available to gold plated in price. I thought I may as well start fitting out some of the parts needed while the body is off...

Having a look around for genuine I can't seem to find a set, the aftermarket versions seem to range from around £15 a set to £35. Anybody recommend the best quality ones rather than the cheapest, or are they all the same kit but just priced differently?

I either need to repair (someone has drilled and cut bits out of it) and then get it regalved or I can buy a new replacement bumper. Bit wary of all replacement pattern parts which tend to be thinner, don't fit or just plain poor quality or a combination of all three. Can't tell from online pics...

I just tried to fit the new 109 tank to my project and it doesn't fit at the rear mountings, are there more that one type of 109 tank? looking online I can see the currently available tank seems to have an additional outlet pipe my original tank didn't have and according to the paperwork I have...

Anybody any idea what the thread size is for the holes under the rear crossmember for mounting the military dropplate reinforcing plate, the three underneath the crossmember?

I have a removeable gearbox crossmember that anybody can have for free as long as the collect it from Inverness. Richards made me a new one with a welded on 6 pot mount and I have the original one that came with the chassis for a S3 I don't need it so free to anyone who wants to collect it

Is there any way of telling whether a swivel ball is a genuine LR one or a repro, not OEM but an actual genuine one made at the time? I had two delivered today in original boxes and one seems to be painted inside with some sort of sealant

Has anybody got a six pot that they can measure something off of? I cut the bracket off to remove the engine tie rod when I took my chassis apart, expecting that there would be a welded on lug on the replacement chassis. Oops! I have managed to get a NOS bolt on version and am looking for a...

Anybody got a spare swivel ball without bearings and can weigh it? I had a parcel arrive this morning and it did not contain the two swivels I ordered but the weight when posted was listed, I suspect that the weight of two swivels is significantly more than the weight when posted so would help...
