    Series 3 Strange gearbox goings on.

    Hello, Here's one for you. At the beginning of the year I lost 3rd & 4th on my 1984 Series 3. I managed to get it back home and was manoeuvring it into it's parking space when there was a "thunk" from the direction of the box and I could select all gears again. I checked the oil which was a bit...

    A Few Pictures From Amberley Classic Land Rovers Oct 14 2018

    Another good turn out. The weather was not as nice as last year but still bearable. I had a few pleasant chats with fellow owners. My lads commented that outside the show they were use to us being the unusual vehicle, whereas at the show ours was probably the most normal ("boring" in teenager...

    A 109 Lightweight ! Is it a Production model ?

    I found this strange beast whilst fantasising about things I can't afford on ebay. I thought I would share it with you as I've never seen or known about it's existence before. Is it a production model or someones warped mind coming out in their garage...

    Classic Land Rovers at Amberley 2018

    I just thought I'd give the heads up on this as it is next weekend, 14/10/2018, and I haven't seen a thread on it in this section. I intend to be there, especially as my eldest has just informed that he has invited a load of his mates along as well. This is of course provided nothing falls off...

    Deestone 7.50 x 16, any good?

    Hello, I got a knackered valve on an inner tube which leaked air as fast as I put it in yesterday so I spoke to a couple of tyre places who both muttered with a shape intake of breathe "don't do inner tubes mate". One had a look at the old Goodyear xtra grip I have on there and seemed a bit...

    Paint mixed with sand ??

    Hello, I'm in the process of tidying up the rear tub of my series 3 109 FFR. One task that needs doing is removing a coat of what appears to be NATO Green paint mixed with sand. Has anyone come across this before on an ex military vehicle ? It may have been done after being released from the...

    The S3 Beach Bus, and so it begins......

    After many years procrastinating about what to get, S3 109 CSW, soft top, Defender 110 or Discovery I went for a S3 109 FFR. There were lots of reasons some of which included, - having something big to put our bikes in for a bit of mountain biking without worrying about the mess in the back...

    Lucas or Ducelier distributor

    Hello, I'm looking at replacing the shielded distributor on my recently purchased FFR 109. Which is the better type of distributor, Lucas or Ducelier ? I would like to keep it original but currently it's pinking in 3rd & 4th despite my retarding the ignition. The previous owner has added a new...

    Series 3 Roll cage ?

    Hello, Just got a rag top S3 109. I would like to fit a roll cage to it for various reasons, a proper one not a cosmetic one. Does anyone know of a supplier for such a thing. I have searched via Google etc but they all seem to be for 110s. I have read on some forums that a 110 cage will fit a...

    Actually, finally bought a Land Rover S3 109

    Just saying hello as after many years of umming I actually bought a tatty old Series 3 109 FFR. Looked at some Discovery 2s and serious contemplated a Defender 110 for lugging the family about but went old school in the end as I fancied a simple, cheapish 109 rag top for local stuff family...
