    Brake troubleshooting

    Hello all, Trying to chase down some braking issues ahead of the MOT. When desires the pedal, I get a slight initial braking force (no pedal resistance) that dissipates, with the pedal going to the floor. If I push hard once it is on the floor it will brake properly, but with little...

    Hazard/Trailer light

    Hi all, On my 1988 110, the hazard switch when on illuminates the trailer light, but the hazards don’t work. Indicators work fine, but require the hazards to be ‘on’ (e.g. trailer light on) MOT in May — any suggestions as to where to look? Thanks!

    Defender wiper switch hardwire

    Hello all, Currently on holiday in Beulah (wales) and my wiper switch has packed up on my 1988 110. Trying to find a part, but if all else fails, is there a way to ‘hotwire’ the switch? Many thanks in advance

    Series 3 Overheat after motorway run

    Hi all, Touched on this before but would love some further advice I’ve got a 1982 S3 SWB, running a Weber carb. On a run the temp is fine, but when I slow down (eg motorway exit to traffic) it gets hot - about 3/4 on the gauge). It doesn’t really come down until I get some decent speed (30MPH)...

    Clutch noise

    Hi all, I have a series 3 2.25 petrol. After a recent dunking and recovery (under for about an hour but engine running), I sent it off to have all the oils done and some other bits sorted. Just got it back and noticed the gear box is harder to work than before and there is a wurring noise when...

    Series 3 The Ultimate Series Daily Driver

    Hi all, After getting my first landy (1982 S3 88” 2.25p 5mb w/ parabolics, Fairey OD and FW Hubs) a month and a half ago and now about to get a 110 300TDI, it’s safe to say I have the Land Rover bug. I have a sensible fiesta for daily duties, but that is getting to the age of various gremlins...

    Gatescarth

    Hi all, I was wondering if anyone has got any experience of doing gatescarth pass in a series? I’ve got a S3 88” on parabolics and a permit for the pass in June - would fit a steering guard and d-ring recovery points. I’d be going with experienced mates who have modified disco’s so they’d be...

    Most Suitable Landy

    Hi all, Heading up to the lakes for 10 days in June. I’ve recently got a series 3 88” petrol on parabolics and AT’s (needs a paint job) and am about to get a 110 300TDI on AT’s - this will have a wading kit and snorkel fitted pronto. Not fussed about the ‘paintwork’ on that either. Girlfriend...

    Colour Change

    Hi all, I currently have a SIII 88” (with limestone hard top), purchased about a month ago. The chassis and bulkhead are great (1 tiny outrigger hole), but it was never a museum piece - paint was chipped etc and I wasn’t a fan of the colour (NATO green). Since doing some lanes in it I’ve...
