    Series 3 Spluttering and carb blowback

    It wont actually run properly but just keeps spluttering then gives up and when it is doing that, there is no response to accelerator.

    Series 3 Spluttering and carb blowback

    2.25 petrol engine of a 1982 series 3. Before Christmas we (my son and I) completed new pistons/rings, little ends, big ends, new valves/with new springs. Tightened head again after couple of hundred miles - going beautifully - best it has ever sounded. Engine spluttered and jerked then...

    Series 3 Prop Shaft.

    You guys are great. Thanks very much. Oh ! Bobstickle, my life isn't to short - at 87 I am still able to get around (slowly), pass knowledge onto my son (as well as tools nowadays (reversal of roles)) and we enjoy working together - well, he does most of the work of course. The expert...

    Series 3 Prop Shaft.

    My son's series 3 petrol 2.25 LWB. at about steady 30 the vehicle seems to slightly jerk back and fore. Methinks it may be wear in't propshaft bearings. If so, does the gearbox have to be moved to remove propshafts ? If not can you give me a rough idea of how to renew the needle bearings, if...

    Series 3 2.25 Petrol anomoly on exhaust manifold

    Thanks to you both. Wildefalcon, The lower part of the second of the 2 illustrations was not visible and that is where the hole is. ExMil109. I think you have hit the thingy on the waist - what you say makes perfect sense so will block it off. Great information. Thank you very much. Does...

    Series 3 2.25 Petrol anomoly on exhaust manifold

    My son was trying to fit a new gasket from manifold outlet to first part of exhaust pipe because we heard it 'blowing' - found out that there is no gasket and advised to put Gungum there. However, he has found that the blowing was not from that junction but a hole in the manifold by means of a...

    Series 3 VIN No. Identification of Series 3 Landy

    Quite right. My son established from the Vin plate on the Landy that the DVLA reg document has somehow changed an S to a G and an H to a 4. Will have to notify them of their error. They may blame the computer but a computer is only as accurate as the information fed into it by humans. Thanks...

    Series 3 VIN No. Identification of Series 3 Landy

    Thanks very much but he has decided to keep the 2.25 petrol and have LPG put on it. It has the Weber 34 ICH fitted and Weber do a great refurb kit which includes new jets. Thanks. Brian

    Thanks Hippo. Went to the site and all is fine. DVLA had changed an S to a G and an H to a 4. God bless computers and their inputters.

    Series 3 VIN No. Identification of Series 3 Landy

    Hi Folks. It has been a long time but here I am at long last and I have a tale to tell. Firstly, we were going to put a diesel into the Series 3 because a friend of my son who has 3 Landy's said it was fairly simple straight out with the 2.25 and the 2.0 diesel would 'drop straight in' and the...

    Series 3 swap gearbox

    I would also like to fit an LPG system to the 2.25 but I know that it should not be fitted to engines with old style valves. Cars were fitted with harder valves to accommodate the unleaded petrol but I cannot remember when that happened. I am thinking that I maybe OK as the engine is in the...

    Series 3 swap gearbox

    Hi. Have had a perfunctory 'shufty' at Ashcroft - most interesting thanks. I dont know what the donor Disco gearbox identification is. Is it an LT77 or R380 and how would I find that out ? Phanx

    Series 3 swap gearbox

    Really need a differeng gearbox the engine is screaming at 50+ and is begging to be dropped into 5th - if only there was one. I was hoping that the lesser weight and a 5th gear would be an improvement. My alternative is to fit the complete 300TDi and box and that would be enormous hassle as...

    Series 3 swap gearbox

    Would like to fit the gearbox from a 300TDi lump (ex disco) which I have and fit it to the 2.25 4cyl petrol engine in my series 3 1982 ex military lwb. The grape says that it can be done using an adaptor plate so, if it is possible does it adversly affect refitting the transfer box and...
