Got them from Mill Services in Wales - Kevin Davies, a real nice guy. Sliders are really heavy duty, a bit of welding and some metal plate to get them to sit the way I wanted but aside from that an easy fit. Could not make them for what Kevin sells them at.

just bolt them in and away you go! sometimes its better to ask for forgiveness than permission.

Was a lot of work, but enjoyed it. Few more bits still to do but are mainly bolt on bits such as awning etc. heading to Pyrenees then to Iceland next year.

fitted truck lights to my series 3 and they are an excellent addition and are a good match for the standard series lights so do not look out of place, they are expensive though. saying that I also mounted 4 Laxer lamps 7in Sentinel's to the roof and 2 25MAXX utility lights on the rear!!

Hi Folks, have not been on the forum in a while as I have been busy rebuilding my series 3 to get it expedition ready. Been a great project so far and its now almost complete. Its been fully rebuild from the ground up and is currently driving fantastic, too much has been done to list but I have...

I think my speedo is also accurate, assuming of course I am doing 0 to 100mph in less than 3 seconds??

Hi Folks, I noticed a new quirk a couple of days ago with my Series 3 in that when I turn on my lights, rather inconveniently my dash catches fire! Driving along the road I noticed smoke coming from behind the gauge panel, at first I thought it was the heater but after pulling over to take of...

Starting to regret raising this issue!! Think I will either keep it mounted in the back or chuck it in the garage and hope for the best.

Also have air con problems on my Discovery 4, ran pressure test and there is a leak in the hose from the condenser - the part from Landrover is £195 plus the vat alone!!

My neighbour owns Shielder Chassis, they are a first class product. Check them out at https://www.shielderchassis.com If you need any help let me know.

Thanks. I agree with you on the back door hinges and that was my concern. My bonnet has not got the dish in it due to needing room for engine swap and don't think the wheel will look good just planted on top. Might take your advice and let the RAC sort out any punctures and ditch the spare.

Hi, currently my spare wheel is mounted in the back of my 3 series. No room on bonnet as 200tdi takes up all the room! I would like to get the wheel out of the back, so I suppose I have two options; 1. bolt the carrier bracket onto the back door and mount the wheel; or 2. Fit a swing away...

After one breakdown, which thankfully turned out to be minor I have made it to the boat. Albeit 24hrs later than planned! I must say that aside from the starter packing in the landy ran perfectly for the entire 350 miles or so. Just Dublin to Armagh left before she will be safely home.

Thanks for all your comments. Turns out the starter motor is knackered. Just waiting on replacement then hopefully will be underway again!

The joys is right. If only I had the bloody thing at home that would be half the battle!

Yes, I’m in hotel and landy is away to garage who says that they will start working on it first thing. So fingers crossed! It’s in pitstop motors Lichfield

Thanks Steve…possibly a big enough job by the sounds of it! I’ll keep you posted.

Thanks Steve. Only tried the once to bump start it as it wouldn’t solve the problem, as soon as I stoped again. Is it a big job to replace the starter ring. It just I could really be with getting back home tomorrow.

Hi Folks, Collected series 3 today for the drive from London to Holyhead. All was going great and landy was driving excellent. Stoped of at M6 toll services for a coffee and landy would not start again. To me it sounded like a starter problem as it was spinning when turning the key but was not...

Thanks for all the responses. Looks like I will be driving it home! Secretly this is probably what I was hoping for. That did if you see me stranded around the M25 in a cloud of smoke be sure to stop!! Will update you when I get it home. Thanks again.
