Hi I have a series 2a ex military Landy. I'm doing a partial rebuild. I'm looking for a parts manual but cannot find anything on the web. I live in Australia so get hammered on postage from uk. Cheers

Dear All It's been a while. I have very reluctantly sold my trusty series 3 24V FFR. After 14 years I'd had it longer than my daughter! The sale was forced by a move to Perth Australia. I'm looking at an Australian military Series 3. The big issue for me is it has a 6 cylinder engine in...

Hi All I should perhaps have left this alone. Sometime ago the odemeter stopped working. Got to 9999 and stopped just as 10000 was appearing. Speedo OK. The speedo is a replacement for the original Smiths one which broke. I had tried to repair this by dismantling. Not having a manual this...

Hi all I have discovered today that my alternator has worn bearings. In trying to remove the pulley from the alternator using a puller I broke the pulley. The alternator is the 90 Amp version used in 24V FFR land rovers. I am trying to get the thing apart so I can push out the bearing and...

I have a series 3, ex RAF LWB. Insurance premium is £186 pa 3rd P + F+ T. I'm being done. Done a search and got quote for £105 pa for same cover. Anyone know any better premiums than this? Old girl is 27 this year, so might qualify as a classic? All help and hints gratefully recieved.

odemeter on my series 3 stopped working today. Just as it tried to turn from 9999 to 10000 it stopped counting. The unit was one I bought new a couple of years ago to replace the original unit which broke - the speedo stopped working. Any ideas? Can it be repaired?

All I need to do some welding on my series 3 (MOT next month) and I have had a real time of it with an Oxford Welder which only provides current on certain settings and now not at all. I have also fried my multi-tester on the damn thing trying to measure resitance. Ideally, I'd like to try...

Hi All Replacement 24V alternator arrived last week. Exchanged it for one fitted. Would you believe it? No good. I now suspect it is the generator panel which is at fault and no one seems to have any anywhere. I missed one on Ebay 2 wweks ago too. Had some welding done last year (new rear...

All Link to a crude website I have compiled where I have published some wiring diagrams for 24V FFR Land Rover Series 3 LWB. In time, i hope toa dd further information if there is interest. The text is a bit small, but if you save images as a file and view using windows XP viewer then all will...

Dear all I have scanned in a 24V FFR wiring diagram for a series 3. You should find it at: http://hometown.aol.co.uk/steamcoaster/index.html My first attempt at website construction using AOL is not that good, but at least its a start.

On the way to Chatham yesterday, red ignition light came on. Batteries not charging. Managed to get back and now rather glum at prospect of buying another 24V alternator. In another post I heaped much praise on the 24V FFR system for its reliability. Questions: 1) Does anyone repair the...

Radiator cap rubber is worn and torn and leaks.....Need new one. Went to Halfords. Note next to range of caps said consult sapres desk. Chap knew nothing about caps. Now, some caps looked like the business. There is an issue to do with the pressure at which they lift. This is a safety device...

I pay about £150 a year for 3rd party, fire, theft insurance. I used to think this was OK, but a hear about people with Series landies paying about £50, low milage etc. Any tips please?

Happy New Year All. I have just joined this newsgroup, having found it whilst doing some surfing on Xmas day. AOL has banned access to Usenet. Why? I don't know. Anyway, it been good wading through posts and sharing the unique experience which is owning a land rover. Best Wishes Rupert
