Hope you can help me.. I have a 1978 series 3 swb 2&1/4 petrol...the front right wheel was hard to rotate - slackening off the adjuster did not help. After much struggle I got the hub off and on one side of the brake cylinder the piston was almost out - the other side it was stuck in... So as i...

Hi Guys hope you can help. I have a '78 series 3, 2 & 1/4 petrol. It does very few miles and it has been sitting about 3 months since last driven a short way. Went to it today and the clutch pedal is solid in the 'up' position, it won't depress. I fitted a new master cylinder about 2 years ago...

Ok - 1978 series 3, 2&1/4 petrol. I've had a knock on engine for a few years now (only do 500 miles or so each year), opinion suggested little end on no3. So eventually today stripped head off, sump off, pushed up no 3 piston and pushed it out. The gudgeon pin(? part no 265169)when inserted has...

Ok, recently became aware that charge light would only go out when bootfuls of revs applied. (Even then there was a very faint glow). Changed fan belt and checked tension - all ok. Wiggled leads around on back of alt. and generally had a look for any problem wires but couldn't see anything...

Well, I've had my 1978 88" 2 1/4 petrol Series 3 for about 16 months now and have only recently had time to commence to attend to the many oil leaks, hub seals, brakes, and general maintenence etc. Only done 900 miles in it so it's not really been an issue for me. Until now, as I've never done...

Is it Ok to jack under the diffs? Under spring hangers? Best places? thanks

Hi Guys, the brand new hood i fitted last year has growing on it what i think might be Mildew - inside, against the hoops and screen - any idea's on how to remove it and stop it coming back?

Can anyone advise if this is a difficult job to sort out (new seal I presume?) Thanks

What a f***ing cheek - Rose called a Series 3 a J**p!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've got a 78 series 3 with Fairey overdrive fitted. The overdrive selector has usually popped out of 'deselected' into neutral when I've gone into reverse gear - never really been a problem to me. Now it's increasingly popping out when I'm in 1st and even 2nd (not all the time though). Anybody...

Today checked and topped up gearbox, transfer box and overdrive oil. Then to axles. Now can someone tell me how, if the correct level when topping up axles is until 'oil dribbles out', when i remove filler plug i can have a veritable torrent pouring out? How did that much oil get in there in the...

So - I'm here in France with my new stick & hood set from Paddocks and about to take off my Station Wagon top for the summer. All looks a little confusing to me. Have any of you guys got a photo or two you could post so I can see how it's all supposed to go together? (Don't want to take the top...

Hi, i'm a 1st time owner - just bought a 1978 88" Station Wagon yesterday and want to fit a soft top for the summer (i live in France). I can see that i'll have to remount the inertia reel belt anchorages, and i'm going to need a tailgate (or somthin) etc.etc. Has anybody else done this and can...
