Could someone point me towards where I would find out what I need to do for a service please? For a 109" S3 with a retro-fitted 3.5 V8(with SUs) and LPG. I've searched this forum and not found anything as yet. So far I know I need two air filters, an oil filter, fuel filter, points and...

Just out of curiosity I wanted to find out what the large holes were for in each of the cross members of the chassis. My dad said that they were intended to take drive shafts to drive farm equipment. Is this true? Would you need a special gearbox? Ta.

Hi. My 109 SIII has a 3.5 V8 fitted, so I have very little space between the engine and the rad. As such I want to fit a slim electric fan to my 109. I could go for the undoubtedly good quality high performance Kenlowe fan which cost upwards of £100, or get a cheap copy for £22. I...

I have a 109 which has been retro fitted with a V8 (assuming a 3.5). I'm trying to find the engine ID so I can confirm exactly what spec it is. I've read that there should be a number stamped on the block in-between the two middle exhaust ports by the dipstick. It's very tight on that...

I was just wondering, if I were to buy a rolling chassis could I save myself hiring a trailer and just tow it as it was (locking the steering straight ahead) as you would a trailer? I guess you would have to knock up some kind of hitch to allow the tower to do the breaking without smacking into...

Anyone know where I can take a chassis to get it galvanised? And how much it might cost? Cheers!

Hi All! Could anyone tell me what size the hose is that goes to the radiator on a series III 109"? The larger ones that take the main flow out of the bottom of the radiator to the water pump, and back into the top of the rad. The internal diameter would be ideal. I gave Paddocks a call and...

I have just replaced the rad in my sIII, which has a retrofitted 3.5V8 with a LPG conversion. When I took the old rad out, I didn't really think that much about why pipes went from here to there, only where they went. Now I'm putting them back, I'm starting to wonder why there is a pipe that...

I was wondering if there were any tanking kits available, or if there is a set routine for water proofing a petrol V8. I liked the idea of changing to a desil engine, but seems like a lot of work, plus I have LPG fitted with is a damn site cheaper!!

I Have a S3 109" with a retro fitted 3.5V8. This happened before I got it. The rad blew on me a few weeks ago and so now I need to buy a new one. I've pulled the blown one out. I don't think who ever fitted the engine fitted the V8 rad (as I'm told that some fabrication is needed to get it to...

I decided to drive my landy to work today, and the rad developed an allergy to water, and decided to spit it all out!! I haven't looked for the cause yet, I just got it recovered home and drove my everyday car to work. I need to get hold of a reconed or new one today if possible. I live in...

I have just been looking at hoop sets for my 109", and was rather shocked to see that Paddocks are selling them for just under £382 including VAT. I know they are galvanised, but other than that, how can they justify the price? I'm sure that it can be justified, otherwise someone else would be...

I've seen this a few times now, where people sell the V5, chassis plates and number plates. What’s the idea with this? And how legal is it? I can see that, hypothetically, you could have a 80" series i landrover, and bit by bit replace parts from a series iii, so that eventually you would...

After my "getting stuck in my own front garden" fiasco (see relevant thread!), I was thinking about getting some better off-road tyres. At the moment I have the BF Goodrich Allterrains. However, I have seen people mention that you aren't supposed to have big chunky tyres to go green laning in...

Embarrassingly enough I still am not sure what series my landy is! I think it's a 3. That said, what doors would fit it? would I be able to use doors from a series 1, 2, 3, and a defender? Or would I have to get series 3 doors?

Hi! After reading through these forums, it seems that getting access to maps of green lanes are not easy at all. I have used this mapmyride.com for finding out the distance for bike rides, and also mapmyrun.com for my runs. I know it doesn't show the green lanes on there, but you can zoom in...

I was wondering if anyone has added power steering to a non-power steered landy? I have just bought one, and I love the thing! But it would be even better if I could give it power steering! Also, what defines a Safari model? I have a feeling mine is, but not sure! How would I find out? Thanks!

HI!! I am to pick up my landy on Sunday. Anything I should know before I pick it up? I've never even had a 4x4, let alone a land rover! I watched the Land rover instructional video on you tube, which shows you how to select the different ranges. Do you have to select 4 wheel drive when...

Hey everyone! Just thought i'd pop in here and say hi! I'm going to be picking up a 1973 Series 3 109" 3.5 v8 lpg. I'm just about to do a search on this forum about where my landy fits in the model history. When i've done searches on the net, the first 109" model I could see was made in...
