    Series 3 Series 3 diesel sedimenter - got any pictures of the mounting?

    Success! Thanks to the replies here (and particular thanks to David Leech!) I now have this:- Whilst it might not be an original (I couldn't find one for sale anywhere) I think it's a reasonable facsimile of one and didn't take long to clatter together from bits in the scrap bin. It's now all...

    Series 3 Series 3 diesel sedimenter - got any pictures of the mounting?

    No, no filter inside - there's a cone over which the fuel flows and the crap settles out into the bottom of the housing. To my knowledge these CAV DPA housings for the sedimenter and the fuel filter are the same castings with different drillings. The centres then either accept the filter element...

    Series 3 Mythical '369' series 5MB diesel engine - can anyone shed any light?

    Guys, this really isn't that complicated :D The engine number IS in the normal place on the plinth at the front of the block under the manifold here:- I'm only interested because I'm curious and it's an anomaly. I'm rebuilding a Series 2a onto a new chassis, I knew the engine in it wasn't...

    Series 3 Series 3 diesel sedimenter - got any pictures of the mounting?

    This is the page from the LR parts manual..... as you can see, the bracket is shown but not clearly - part number 569585. The pictures David Leech posted show it so much better and show where and how it's mounted - again, a big thanks for that :). It's of interest to me because I'm rebuilding...

    Series 3 Mythical '369' series 5MB diesel engine - can anyone shed any light?

    I did consider that, but there is no evidence of any old numbers or anything being ground off and re-stamped. If you look closely at the picture of the engine number you can see it's been stamped directly into the cast surface, the engine number plinth hasn't been machined in any way and remains...

    Series 3 Mythical '369' series 5MB diesel engine - can anyone shed any light?

    Using the information above, it looks like a date code is cast into it then - 23rd Jan '3', so probably 1983..... I don't buy the theory that the '9' is an upside down '6' and it should be 366 - there's no way the person stamping the block would stamp a 6, then at the very next number manage to...

    Series 3 Mythical '369' series 5MB diesel engine - can anyone shed any light?

    Here we go - got some pictures of the engine today..... Engine number.... And this is what is cast into the RH side of the block... These are the casting marks on the LH side of the engine

    Series 3 Mythical '369' series 5MB diesel engine - can anyone shed any light?

    It's not a Series 2 engine.... it's IN a Series 2 vehicle, but it's a later engine (possibly a late Series 3?) that's been fitted at some point in history. I'll ask over there anyway to see if anyone has any ideas, but it's more a wider question to the Land Rover cognoscenti to see if anyone has...

    Series 3 Mythical '369' series 5MB diesel engine - can anyone shed any light?

    I was looking at the engine number on my Series 2a rebuild project earlier and figured I'd look it up out of curiosity..... It's had a later Series 3 diesel engine fitted at some stage. Engine number begins 369***** Consult all my data sources, no such number seems to exist...... Plumb the...

    Series 3 Series 3 diesel sedimenter - got any pictures of the mounting?

    It absolutely is factory and not cobbled together! These are even shown in the parts manual and attributed to vehicles post Suffix-K. The desimenter is designed to take the bigger lumps of crap and water out of the fuel before it gets to the fuel pump, which doesn't have a glass bowl in this...

    Series 3 Series 3 diesel sedimenter - got any pictures of the mounting?

    Aha! That's perfect! Thank you so much - that's exactly what I was looking for. I now understand exactly how it mounts and how it protects the sedimenter, which wasn't clear from the parts diagram. Many thanks - that's a GREAT help :)

    Series 3 Series 3 diesel sedimenter - got any pictures of the mounting?

    I think Suffix K onwards had the sedimenter under the floor, or that's what it looks like from the parts manual. You're right that the earlier versions had a glass bowl fuel pump and a double filter / sedimenter arrangement on the bulkhead.... but I think it was amended for the later cars to...

    Series 3 Series 3 diesel sedimenter - got any pictures of the mounting?

    I'm early into the rebuild of an S2a onto a new chassis, into which I'm fitting a late S3 diesel engine.... I'm trying to route the fuel lines and mount the sedimenter, which I think should be fitted under the drivers floor board..... But what does it fit to? The parts manual shows a sort of...

    Series 3 Correct bulkhead VIN plates - where from?

    Perfect! Thank you Wireman - that's exactly what I need! So, in '71 they were still using 'The Rover Co Ltd', that's brilliant - I can now pick up the correctly worded replica. Many thanks for you time and effort providing a photo - much appreciated :)

    Series 3 Correct bulkhead VIN plates - where from?

    Any pointers guys? or any photos showing an original bulkhead plate on a Series 3 around '72?

    Series 3 Correct bulkhead VIN plates - where from?

    I need to get a replacement bulkhead VIN plate for my S3 109" Station Wagon... However I don't know what the correct style / font and wording is... Can anyone give me a steer for a '72 vehicle? were they still "Manufactured by The Rover Company, Solihull England" or had they switched to...

    Six appeal - six cylinder Land Rovers - let's see them!

    14 times!! That's an Olly Reed thirst! Impressive... Great to hear of and see some of these other sixes - keep the pictures coming of six pots in any state. Thirst aside, is the extra torque worthwhile? Are they noticeably more refined than the fours?

    Six appeal - six cylinder Land Rovers - let's see them!

    2020 was a year of many firsts... but for me it was finding out that Land Rovers also came with a straight six! :cool: Don't ask me how I had managed to miss this fact, but now I know they're out there I need to know all about them! Please show me whatever pictures you've got! What do they...
