    Starting problems

    Hi chaps, I last used my Series 3 two weeks ago for quite a long trip and she performed perfectly. However, I went out to start her this afternoon and it was very difficult indeed (it isn't usually) but she eventually started. I then went to get something from the house whilst she idled and...

    Topping up gearbox and transfer box levels from inside the cab, is this possible?

    I've not looked yet but can I get to the required bolts to do this if I lift the middle seat and slide the metal lid/cover away? If I can...what am I looking for exactly? I've seen in other threads that the bolts I need to remove to top these boxes up are on the side of the units, can I get to...

    Chassis number/engine/bulkhead don't match up

    Hi everyone, I wonder if you could give me some pointers... I've just been to view an 88" and it was made up of 2A and Series 3 components. The chassis is a Series 3, as are the wings but the engine and bulkhead are Series 2. Obviously more digging would find other swapsies I'm sure. The vehicle...

    Thrust bearing?

    Hi all. Replaced the clutch and thrust bearing with genuine parts but now I have symptoms of a worn thrust bearing! When the clutch is engaged and the gearbox in neutral I've got that thrust bearing noise. What's up????:confused:

    Why are old Land Rovers so expensive???

    Hi guys, just been wondering why used Land Rovers are soooo expensive? I've been looking at 1986/7 90's and they're being sold between the £2500 and £3500 marks. Amazing! These aren't concours vehicles either, pretty shoddy tired examples with rusty doors & poor paint. Let's say these originally...

    Hi, I want a new canvas roof for my Defender. Where is the best place? I notice Paddocks and Craddocks sell them, are they much of a muchness or are some better than others? Thanks.

    Need new seats for my 90...

    Hi, I'm after some new front seats for my 90. High-backed if possible but not too fussed. Where are the best places online to buy 'em? Exmoor trim are very expensive and everywhere else just seem to do Series seats.

    Lights on front of 90

    Hi all, what are the two clear lenses above the indicators for? When I put my lights on, the driver's side one of these lights illuminates along with the lights. The other side does nothing so before I delve into what the problem is, I'd like to know what the hell they're for! Thanks.

    Doesn't sit level, leans to the left

    Hi guys, my Defender leans slightly to the left. Not dramatically but noticeable nontheless and you can feel it when driving. It doesn't pull to the left at all, even under braking, it's just that it doesn't actually sit level. Any idea what might have caused this?

    How noisy should my LR be?

    I get the idea that Land Rover Series vehicles are "supposed to be" noisy but just how noisy? I can live with the noises mine makes EXCEPT when I put it into 4th gear and a horrible whine appears to come from the gearbox. Is this "normal" and is this the noise for which Series LR's are famous...

    Series 3 excessive play in steering

    Hi all, nice site! My truck is due for MOT tomorrow and I'm thinking it's going to fail on the steering. There is about an inch and a half of play at the steering wheel which contributes heavily to the vehicle wandering all over the road. Is this a ball joint problem or can it be rectified by...
