My front crank seal in my S3 2.25 petrol is leaking. Do I need any more parts other than the rubber seal itself to change? I haven't found much info online. All I keep finding is threads about the rear seal. Thanks.

My 109 doesn't have a drop plate. I think I will need an extended one due to the height of the crossmember. I found this one below bit it looks like the mounting point as in the middle, so half of the drop plate will go above the crossmember and block the tailgate...

Hi everyone, I’m having issues with getting my speedo cable to work. The one on the car when I got it was snapped so I replaced this with a Britpart one. I refitted this multiple times as it would disconnect from the gearbox/speedo after about 10 yards. I’ve given up with the Britpart cable and...

I was looking at purchasing new gaiters for the levers and handbrake in my Series 3. However apparently the Britpart rubber ones are far too stiff and split quite quickly. Are there any better alternatives?

I have a Zenith 36IV carburettor in my Series 3. When I got it some of the screws holding the castings together were missing. I am having problems with it leaking from the gasket, I’m assuming due to the missing screws. Does anyone know what size and thread these are? The ones I have are...

Hi all I’ve just bolted my hardtop back on. However there is a gap between the top and the body. I fitted new seals before putting it on. I don’t think there was a gap before and all of the bolts lined up as before so not sure where it has gone wrong? Can anyone advise? Thanks

I’ve fitted new Britpart deluxe seats into my series 3 109. The seats currently rest on the bulkhead. I’m thinking I am missing some parts. The drivers seat has small blocks on the side at the bottom that stop it tipping further back but the top still hits the bulkhead when sat in. I have found...

I’ve fitted new parts to get the central locking working on my RRC tailgate. However, I am missing the spring that attached to the metal rod. I’ve been unable to get it anywhere. Currently when I lock the car, the solenoid attempts to lock the tailgate but fails. When I unlock, it then locks...

I need to fit new belts to my 109 Series 3. The belts currently fitted don’t appear to be fitted correctly. The inertia reals are just bolted to the seat box. I have silver brackets behind the front doors as in the picture. Are the belts meant to be attached to these? I’ll also be looking to...

A long time ago I bought a 109 and only recently got round to sorting it out. It only has one Land Rover seat. The centre seat was missing and the passenger seat was a Recaro. I want to reinstate proper Land Rover seats but not sure what I need brackets wise. I have attached a picture. I have...

I have a Series with 2.25 petrol. When I got it it had the oil breather on the top of the engine missing. I got one to put on but recently realised there’s a lose pipe that looks like it’s meant to connect to the breather. The breather I have has no connections on it so I assume I’ve bought the...

Does anyone know how the Brooklands sill covers attach at the front wheel arch end? I removed mine 3 years ago to fit new sills but can’t remember how they attach at the front. There’s a metal bracket on them but it doesn’t line up with anything on the car?

Putting my Soft dash LSE back together after welding. I need to drill new holes to mount the arch liners but I can’t get them to line up with the holes that are still there. There appears to be a bolt in the way where the liner attaches at the foot well end. These bolts must have been there...

Hi all, I’m currently restoring a 1994 classic. It was not started for a period of 2 years while welding was carried out. In July this year it was put back together mechanically. However, the original fuel pump had failed. This was replaced in August with a new one. Come November, this pump had...

We’ve recently got my Soft Dash Classic moving again. However the brakes are sticking on. The brakes are off until the ABS pump pressurises the system, after which all 4 brakes lock on. After a leaving for a while the brakes are free again. Has anyone come across this before?

Hi all, I have just tried to fit new air springs to my LSE. However, they have inflated at angles and the ends aren't rolling over the metal mounts. I have tried to deflate the bags again but nothing happens (maybe there's not enough weight on the springs?). I now have half inflated springs and...

Hi all, My Classic sat for 2 years while welding etc was carried out. Now it is mostly back together, I can't get the central locking to work. The starter has also been immobilised (though I can start it fine by bypassing the AMR2106 immobiliser). The locks are not working at all. I can look...

Hello, I have a 1994 Soft Dash LSE. I'm trying to bleed the brakes. However, the ABS pump is no longer running. It did run on one of the first attempts at bleeding (which failed due to other issues), however I can't get the pump to run to finish bleeding. When turning on the ignition, the pump...

Hi all, I’m trying to bleed the ABS brakes on my soft dash LSE. I’ve bought an Easy bleed and am following the instructions in the workshop manual. However, nothing is coming through when opening the nipples. There is some feel in the pedal but not much. Any advice?

I have a Soft Dash LSE that has not been started for a couple of years whilst welding was carried out. I have got it to turn over after bypassing the AMR2106 immobiliser. It is now turning over but no fuel is getting through. It runs on easy start. I can’t hear the fuel pump priming when...
