Hi Folks, after quick fix.... Just took series 3 88'' out on emergency run. One of the joys of being the only family member with tow hitch and trailer!! When i pulled off could not select ANY gears. Clutch pedal had no pressure. Pumped it a few times and then managed to get moving. 40 mile round...

Hi folks, another daft question from a new series 3 owner.... had leak from front offside hub and thought it came from the grub screw on the front of the hub. Have had closer look today and when I took the hub cap off found quite a bit of oil in it. It looked like it was coming through the...

Thanks again, as soon as the rain stops for more than 30 seconds I'll be on it...:)

Thanks both. I'm sure they are standard hubs, but don't have a camera or posh phone to confirm with pics. out of interest what size is the imperial grub screw? Only have meteric allen keys and want to get some imperial ones, just don't to get wrong ones... Cheers and sorry for stupid quetions...

Hi Folks, my series 3 88'' petrol had first go in snow saturday and within a mile the silencer pot on exhaust blew open, big rust area just waiting to go....:doh: Looked on paddocks and whole system only £40 plus vat. How difficult will it be to change on own, on drive? Also will I need to...

Hi Folks, been thinking about converting my 1977 series 3 from 2 1/4 petrol to a 200tdi or 300tdi. Spoke to a mechanic friend who thought the brakes might not be up to it. Any way of upgrading them? Love the petrol engine, but the 200tdi might make it bit cheaper to run.

:rolleyes:

Sorry, is that a yes to mig? :confused:

I'll take it thats a no then..Sorry if it was daft question, but rely on you lot to answer ALL my daft questions. Always had discos before and now have the series really want to know all and be able to do as much as I can to keep it working and have to say love the thing...

Hi Folks, just seen forecast and looks like loads of white stuff tomorrow.... need advice quick, do I drive all the way to work (17miles) with yellow lever down? looking forward to my 1977 88" swb petrol earning its keep, just want to do it right...:)

I've also got ark welder and have welded that and MIG many years ago. BUT would it be better to get a mig for odd repairs on body work? Thats is on 1977 88" swb.

I'll see how it goes... Have used 4x4 but not that day and not on the road... Who is Ernie? As always thanks for quick reply and advice:)
