    Hi All, Currently in the process of installing a diesel pump into the rustbucket S3, which means doing the timing (not fun) Found TDC on the flywheel, looking for the 13 degrees BTDC mark next.

    Series 3 Progress on the rustbucket!

    Further on from: https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/series-3-restoration-project-rustbucket.356121/#post-4773271 It nearly fired up at the weekend, here's a short video. It still won't start, not sure if this is because of the starter motor needing replacing, or the battery being dead.

    Series 3 Door top studs series 3

    The door top itself is in an OK condition, a bit of rust but not too much. The only reason I cut it off was because I couldn't get the nut off the stud! Sounds like a good plan, will weld a new stud on the end.

    Series 3 Door top studs series 3

    Over the weekend, I removed one of the door tops from my running series 3 as it needs replacing and this is soon to be done. However, the door top which I have removed still has a bit of life left in it yet, and I would like to put it on my other series 3 so that I can finally secure it better...

    Series 3 Sheared threads on drive flange / hub

    Hi everyone, I was re-fitting my drive flanges over the weekend as the gaskets were non-existent and the hubs were leaking oil from the axle onto the wheels and this was very messy. I managed to put 3 out of 5 bolts back in through the flange to the hub OK, but the remaining two appear to...

    Series 3 Can't see TDC on flywheel

    Hi all, in the process of fitting a new diesel pump to my series 3, I need to align the timing mark on the flywheel with the one on the pump. I removed the view window cover on the flywheel housing and had my partner turn the start handle round. The flywheel spins, but I couldn't see the TDC...

    Series 3 Series 3 Restoration Project "Rustbucket"

    Having taken delivery of another series 3 at the weekend, I've had a chance to look at it and find most of the issues. I am seeking some advice with some items because I don't know how to fix them. There are no keys. There is an ignition barrel. I've done some research about this, and have...

    Series 3 How many amps to jump start 2.25l series 2A diesel in series 3?

    Hi, flat battery time because someone left the spotlamps running for 1.5hrs without the engine running (doh). Although I could remove the battery and charge it, my battery charger has a jump start feature for supplying current up to 12v 130A, but before I blow it up, just wanted to check if...

    Series 3 Oil pressure light comes on when engine hot.

    I have ordered a mechanical gauge to measure the oil pressure. I will let you know if the pressure drops, because that would indicate a dodgy pump rather than electrical fault.

Back in 2019, I made the mistake of connecting the oil pressure switch up to the light on the dash board, and it was on solid all the time. I've since fixed the issue by doing a complete oil change and filter replacement, now the...
