just a quick question- i'm think i'm going to (finally) get round to swapping the diffs over to RRC units in my series3. is anybody running a defender (or 90/110) speedometer with a series gearbox and RR diffs? i compared a 200tdi disco speedo with a series example and it looked like you...

just taken 2.25 D out of the landy so if anybody wants it PM me. don't want anything for it. too good to go to the scrappers. its a 1982 5- bearing (terracotta block) with 55k on it. flew through emmisions tests on the MOT last month and was doing 20-25 mpg even with my lead right foot...

i'm (hopefully) getting the 200 tdi into my series 3 over the long weekend. Problem is the gearbox i have in at the moment isn't the best and i'm guessing more power isn't going to help it get any better. it'll do for the time being though. question is where can i get a decent re-con box at a...

hi- i've been having problems selecting gears on my series 3. it seemed that 1st and 2nd aren't where they should be . to cut a long story short i got the floor up today (:mad: :mad: :mad: ) and the ball on the gearstick that sits in the selector forks has alot of wear lines, some of which are...

quick- and quite possibly silly question. i'm going on the hunt for some rangie diffs for my series 3. At the hub end the halfshafts on my series are 24 spline. I need 24 spline diffs then right? toby

hi all. firstly i know very little about the inner-workings of gearboxs or clutchs. i know series 3 gearboxs are fully syncronised, but also i shouldn't really treat it anything like a modern gearbox. i'm having problems dropping from 3rd to 2nd (usually to slow down for a junction or to...

hi all, i've had my series 3 88 (2 1/4 diesel) for just over a month now. i 've getting concerned just how little acceleration it has for 10-15 mins after its started ( pretty much until the water temp gauge has reached the middle). i wouldn't say its Sh*t off a shovel after that but nor...

Hi all, i'm fairly new to landies so bear with me if i seem abit green. whilst doing abit of routine tweaking this aft and i noticed a small hole in the bottom of the oilbath on the air filter of my series 3 diesel. it turned out the entire bottom of it is rotten, and was being held together...
