Hi all, would be very grateful for some advice: S3 2.25 petrol. Was running fine last week. Left for a few days then drove yesterday. On slowing to stop at junctions, truck is stalling. Will restart instantly on the key. I changed the fan belt late last week, and ran with it for approx 20...

Folks - my headlights stop working after I’ve indicated. A quick pull on the stalk (ie, a high beam flash) restores the headlight. So clearly there is a contact issue in the stalk. Can switches be cleaned? Do the contacts just wear out? Do I clean or replace? Replacements are £14 for...

The 3 position switch for off-side- headlight failed. It began not to turn off properly and needed wiggling. New switch bought from Bearmach via eBay and fitted. Works. But now its off- headlights - sidelights. Which is the wrong order. Switch has 4 wires. Two are thin and go to top and...

Anyone fitted one of the kits on offer eg https://www.paddockspares.com/pm1039-halogen-headlamp-conversion-kit-rhd-with-ring-ultra-xenon-bulbs.html Seems good for £30 or so. Allegedly simple wiring. I’d be interested to hear any comments . Is there any concern about it being an “upgrade”...

Hi All, and happy New Year. After my summer experiment with a bikini top I’m going all out for a full canvas. Got the hood at Christmas from Exmoor, now sourcing parts for the frame. Basically, price difference between Exmoor and Britpart items amounts to £30. Britparts are available almost...

Opened the garage this morning. Strong fuel smell. I see some bubbled paint on the fuel tank. I wipe with a rag. Paint comes away and a pinhole is revealed - and starts a stream of fuel out of the tank. I’ve drained the tank (petrol). The hole is tiny -literally a pinhole. Do I use some fuel...

I’ve found a S2 88” 1968 2.25 petrol that has been sitting for at least 3 years. Possible station wagon spec - it’s got rear windows and a safari roof and looks completely original from the outside. I haven’t been able to inspect it. I’m considering knocking on the door and seeing if they want...

In a previous thread some discussion started about bikini tops. I thought I’d note my experiences here, as there doesn’t seem to be much detail about this approach anywhere. Background: I’m a new-ish Landy owner, acquiring a 1980 S3 SWB hardtop in autumn last year. I use it for general running...

Hi All, Quite new to the forum and had my first Landy (S3 88”) for less than a year. Finally took the hard top off due to the amazing weather here in the UK - loving it! So, a pic. Also: On right hand turns I sometimes hear/feel a loud clunk from somewhere front right. It seems to be a...

Hi all, new here and new to Land Rovers. 1980 S3 2.25 Petrol. Weber carb. Starts fine from cold on half choke. But after driving then leaving for 15 mins or so it takes two attempts to start. (No choke) I’ve pulled plugs and cleaned - they seemed fine. Initially easy start perhaps suggests...

Hi there. Long time Land Rover admirer and recent first time owner. I have a 1980 S3 SWB 2.25 Petrol hardtop. Had a recent rebuild (not by me) and it’s in very nice condition. I’ve been lurking a bit so thought it was time to say hello. Based in Hampshire, and using it more or less as my...
