Don't be so quick to shoot the question down. I didn't say anything about bits being added. I said if the body work is original and the vehicle had had the later style lighting arrangement, then it couldn't have been registered in '81, thus you would have a good indicator that '81 on the V5 was...

What is the lighting arrangement at the rear of the vehicle on the corner cappings? As previously mentioned, this will differentiate an '81 and '84 series 3, provided it still has the original rear tub/hasn't been bastardised.

Yes, X is 1981, B is 1984. I think you can rule out an 'identity' swap for tax or MOT purposes, as neither an '81 or '84 year fall under the 40 exemption (yet). Is the 'B' followed by three numbers and three letters (ie a bog standard plate) or is it a private plate beginning with a 'B'...

Thanks for the replies. The system that Citizen Kane has installed is very neat, I like it a lot and great engineering skills. The kit offered by the Land Rover dealer mentioned above (for £3.5K!) is similarly smart. I'm not an engineer - but for a layman without intimate knowledge of the...

Is there a big power drain with a conversion similar to what Citizen Kane did or the one being offered here? Is the factory fitted Series alternator sufficient or would an uprated one - say to 45amp - be better?

I was sent this link by another forum member. Electronic Power steering, offered by Jake Wright Land Rovers. Looks pretty neat. Completely hidden on a Series 3 behind the dash. https://www.jakewright.com/news/2020/november/land-rover-classic-series-power-steering Thoughts? <Edit - I just...

Thanks for the responses. I bought the Lazy Tong, seems much easier than the plier type! Just need a bit of practice to stop it bouncing. Here's an unrelated Q: - refurbishing my beatbox and re attaching the underseat battery box - what's the "correct" look for the rivets? Bare or sprayed in...

Hello all, I'm repainting my SWB 88" truck and will be reinstating the capping afterwards. A few novice/primitive questions regarding the correct rivets to use... Attached are a couple of pictures of what is on my truck right now and the diagram from the parts manual. 1) The manual shows...

I'm aware there are mixed views on retrospectively adding power steering. It's not really a debate I'm looking to get in to. People have various reasons why they might want to modify their vehicles and it's obviously a matter of personal preference. I'm just trying to ascertain somewhere...

Hello all, new poster here. Looking to get power steering fitted to my Series 3 88” Have researched this forum and others as to best way to do this. The bolt on TDZ kit from Heystee is tempting and some of the reviews are good, but I gather it wont eliminate the steering weave and might even...
