Hello all, Looking for a bit of advice regarding the above. Engine and gearbox rubbers pretty much shot to bits and are in very poor condition (SIII SWB, 1973 petrol). I have spent a bit of time today spraying penetrating oil and loosening fixings to make life easier in preparation for changing...

Hi All, Wonder if I can pick some brains regarding above please? Would I be correct in thinking the primary and secondary jets/emulsion tubes are as identified in the attached photo? Orange arrow is throttle cable for orientation of photo. I've searched for a definitive answer, but whilst...

Hello all, Having worked through many items trying to tidy things up, its time to turn my attention to the cooling system. Its a 1973 88inch but with a later 2.3 petrol engine (code 11H), the cooling system needs an overhaul with hoses that have been bodged with joiners and some are now...

Hi All, After spending most of my Xmas break overhauling the front axle I thought , whilst I was at it, that I'd fit new cylinders, shoes and drums (11 inch) that the previous owner passed to me when I purchased the vehicle. They were of course all in the blue BP boxes, and against my better...

Afternoon All, I'm in the process of stripping the front axle down as a bit of a Christmas project now I've got a few weeks off work. Being pretty new to Landrovers, just wondering if more experienced forum members can advise if the swivel I removed today is serviceable, or should I just get...

Removed the propshafts to replace leaking output shaft seals in the transfer box today. The front prop is absolutely knackered, with a load of play in the sliding joint and one of the UJ's is near collapse - so new one on order. Is it advisable to still drive without the front prop fitted as...

Hello All, I'm the new owner of a 1973 petrol SWB pick up (couple of pics in the intro section) having collected it last weekend. It's now time to address some of its short-comings and hoping someone can confirm a few items for me? 1.I'm aware it has had a new engine fitted, with the engine...

Hello, Thought I'd re-introduce myself, as I previously registered when I was looking to buy a Landrover a couple of years ago. Things didn't quite work out as I hoped and I had to put it on the proverbial back-burner for a while.............however, now a proud owner of a 1973 Series 3 swb...

Hello everyone, my name is Richard and have recently joined. I'm landrover-less at present, but hoping to buy in the near future (just waiting for an expected payout to come my way :D). I've been wanting one for a number of years now, but the usual things kept getting in the way (kids, work...
