    Rustproofing

    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.

    New Loom

    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...

    Series 3 Fan Housing Wanted

    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

    Rear Makers plate - |Series 3

    The rear makers plate on my S3 has no paint on it. It had none when I bought it so cannot refer to any old colours and I am going to repaint it. I think it should be all black but with what colour lettering and "lightning" line and the raised oval surround? Any help appreciated.

    Just bought some "deluxe" seats for my S3. Base slid straight in but how to replace the back rest? I cannot get the pins out of the old seat (the ones which act as a hinge).

    Paint Preparation?

    Repainting my S3 bonnet and replacing rusting back door. I bought a new back door which seems to be painted with a grey primer. Can I paint over this once I have flatted it out and de-greased it, or does it need taking down to bare metal? Any help appreciated. Pikefly

    Over 40!

    My S3 turned 40 in November 2017. If I understand the rules correctly she will be tax exempt when the tax is due in May 2018. The question is do the DVLA automatically apply the exemption or do I have to apply? If so - how? Tim

    Rear Door Spare Wheel Carrier

    Just looking for a spare wheel carrier and have seen one made by Shire Fabrication in Notts. and called Venom. Made for a Defender but looks like it will fit a S3. Has anyone got or tried one? Price seems right and it opens with the rear door.

    Series 3 Recon gearbox wanted

    Got to replace my gearbox but am finding a lot of different comments about recon boxes. Can anyone recommend a good recon box (with transfer box) replacement? Beaumonts & Simmonites seem to come out well.

    Tub Floor Replacement

    Series 3 got a few holes in the tub floor and I want to replace it. Am I correct in thinking I can just unbolt the floor without removing the side seats and just bolt a new one straight back in? Or is that too simple. :confused:
