The old lady went to a new home today - 1/3/25.

Looking for about £7500 or thereabouts. The wheel bearing advisory has been done but the seat box could be repaired with just the passenger underseat tool box needed. About £45 plus a few rivets :) .

Thanks a lot Knappster. I hope I sell it before the seller of the Defender I'm after has sold it!!

Series 3 for sale. Bought by me in 2008 as a runner with problems. First problem was the engine block was cracked so replaced with a 2.5 N?A diesel. Chassis changed for galvanised Richards one. New radiator, new parabolics and shockers. Tub floor and stringers replaced. Dixon Bate hitch and rear...

Hi Pompey I wondered if you were still interested? I'm selling my Series 3 1977 SWB hardtop. Tax and MOT exempt. Had her since about 2010. Been a work in progress over the years. Here's what's been done, front to back: New galv. and powder coated bumper. New plastic headlight buckets...

Thanks Gun. The company I bought the new box from have been very helpful. They think the overdrive is so old its messed up second gear - it jumps out in second under engine braking. I'm taking it back to them so they can have a look at it and possible rebuild. We'll see! Cheers Tim

Thanks everyone that's most helpful. Once more under the landy.

I am about to fit a reconditioned gearbox and transfer box to my Series 3 but I am told that I cannot just slot the overdrive into the new unit and something has to be done before it can be fitted (not just a gasket). Can anyone enlighten me as to what this is please?

Suggest having a chat with someone like GB Springs who make them.

Just found your thread WoodyO. I am in the process of buying a gearbox from Beau Engineering. Like others have said there appear to be a number of Beaumonts refurbishing gear boxes in Halifax. I bought one from Beaumont Engineering in Wainstalls some years ago and collected it myself. It was in...

Hi All, many thanks for your input. I have a waxoyl sprayer but no waxoyl so will buy a drum. Cheers

I have had the bulk head door pillars on my series 3 replaced. They were rustproofed with Waxoyl when done and need a repeat. I would like to know if I did it with Dinitrol would it react with the Waxoyl or not? It's just that I have Dinitrol to hand and would have to buy some Waxoyl specially.

Thanks a lot guys. A lot of useful information. At least I can removed the binacle and have a look. I've done it many times replacing the flasher relay. Problem was when I bought her the pervious owner fitted a lot of "extras" like radio, spot lights etc. There are a lot of inline fuses in some...

Many thanks that's helpful and sounds like my problem. Unfortunately I'm hopeless with electrics if it's not basic. A new wiring loom is beyond me which is why I need an electrician. The picture taking is a good point.

Continual electrical problems on my 1977 Series 3. Sometimes the horn works or it doesn't, sometimes it blows the flasher relay or doesn't, sometimes headlights work on main beam or not, indicators may work if they feel like it! I think I should be looking at a new loom but probably what I...

Thanks Mad Hat I'd not thought of that. Cheers

I have just replaced the heater motor and fan on my 1977 Series 3. The housing is badly rotted and I am trying to source a replacement. I am not a good enough welder to repair it and I don't think there is that much good metal to weld to. :( Anyone got one for sale please? Cheers Tim

Brilliant. I just bought a couple of fine artists brushes for £2.50 so all systems go now. Many thanks Wireman.

Thanks Wireman I thought it might be but I've seen them green with yellow letters etc. Nice to have it confirmed. Cheers,
