Hi All, Just to update on this thread that my dads Land rover has been found. The idiots had put Diesel in to fill it up. And well a V8 don't like that! it was only about 6 miles away but had been used by the looks of it to steal a caravan from a farmers field as there was lots of long grass...

My Dads Land Rover (Owned for 26 years) was stolen in the early hours of the 20-12-17 from Hemel Hempstead. Noticeable features are the scaffolding in the rear tub. Reg E544CUR. I found what was left of the ignition barrel where it was parked :( It was also fitted with a V8 3.5 EFi from a 1989...

After doing some searching found out that a bearing does not exist of the dimesions required. So it's going to be a spacer. I have made a test spacer from nylon to see how it works. It works very well. So would anyone have a suggestion of what material this would be best made from...

Hi guys, well I now have both my S3 box and 2a box bell housings off now. The problem I face now is the bearings for the Lay shafts are different sizes: As you can see this does cause a problem. The bearings holes in the bell housings are also different which makes sense. So how...

Oh well, for that price might as well keep it! Will adapt and combine it into my loom rebuild! Ant

Hi thats great thanks, I had a sneaking idea it would be military! Now what to do with it! I was going to use it on the rebuild of mine but will most likely use the orignal S3 loom. Cheers Ant

Yeh i seen the price for them, just cant figure out how comes!! Got this a good few years ago now, would be nice to see what its for. Main one is what looks like attachs to the ignition switch. Have attached some pics.

I have a wiring loom here that looks series but cant find the number in any books or online saying what vehicle its for. The part number on the label attached to the loom says: (Computer printed) LANDROVER 51211691 PRC1787 ISSUE and in pen has the letters B D with number 82161. Anyone with...

Hey Ben thats good to know, I am just about to get the gearbox out of mine tonight then I will be fitting my S3 bell onto my 2a box. Hopefully it is as smooth a fitting as yours was. Ant

The Chassis should also be stamped on the front right of the chassis on the leaf spring bracket. (unless it has a new chassis). Always thought on an S3 that the ID plate was on the bulkhead under bonnet and the Plate with the ID in front of the gear stick was used on S2/S2a.

Yep, you're right. Its actully quite a neat switching unit for the age. Might be a good idea to check all the seals on the switch to make sure its all fine if its not been used for awhile! Ant

Thats an Anti Burst type of door lock. As you say this is confirmed by the lock being in the door skin rather then in the door handle cut out. Ant

Sounds to me with the tank lever that the rear tank was taken out due to it leaking and not replaced. Got the same switch in mine, but mine being a swb they are under the front seats. Bet if you look under the rear tub you will find the fuel line to the rear where the tank should be, along with...

One quick question for someone. Once I get to the numbers/suffix. What do I want to find, to beable to mate the parts together?

I will have to go and double check the numbers on the gearboxes I have. Cheers Ant

I am planning on using my Series IIa gearbox with SIII Bell housing, is this a possible combination? The clutch push rod on my IIa is pretty much gone/knacked but I do have a complete SIII setup to use. I want to keep the IIa box as I had it reconditioned a few years ago plus I believe it's a...
