I've got a series 3 LWB in need of some TLC. Got no time doing it myself unfortunately, as business is running "too" well. I am looking for someone who knows landies and can do a chassis replacement and a few other bits and bobs on my 1978 109. Transport will be organised, as she is not fit to...

Hi All, Sorry for keeping quiet for so long, but work's been busy. With great hope the forum stayed the same as it was a few moons (actually suns) ago, I have following, quite urgent request: The plod now realised my MOT lapsed (just about two years, nothing too dramatic). The landy in question...

Anyone tried tinning his chassis with a tin stick and torch yet? Too broke to get new chassis, and 33 years DO show, esp at the suspension hangers, front outriggers, rear outriggers, ... just need a way to ensure rust doesnt grow where i welded, and the other option is epoxy glue. Thought...

ok, I give up: Hvae been searching for an hour and nothing. Maybe someone on here knows it: The upper bolt that secures the 1993 200tdi alternator to the mounting has a bolt with a bush at the rear, so the rear of the alt is kept floating. Any part numbers/ sources?? I'm becoming...

A word of warning: One nut provided by paddocks for the U Bolts, PrtNos 543108 and 569028, just sheared off when I tried doing them up to the required 80Nm... I think it went at about 70Nm. The other one I left at 70. Dont want to try it, will wait for proper nuts to be delivered (I'll go...

Still working on me complete CAD model of my S3:

Can we have more Post Icons? For a land rover forum, it might be nice having an oil drop for example, or sound symbol, so we could at least classify the topics visually... Just an idea tho.

Series 3 with 200Di cat**** dripping from flywheel crossmember. GB was low on oil, filled up, level went down a bit after some days, but not as much as the crossmember was dripping. No leak on OD/TB (no signifanct one anyway). Drips when stationary, not sure if out of flywheel case tho...

Good evening, I'd like to hear your opinion on this: Ordered at land-rover-parts-shop.co.uk Airtex water pump, coopers oil filter, two cooling hoses. And only one cooling hose... Airtex being sold by Allmakes? What about the condition of the pump? To be honest...

Good morning, does someone have an air filter box for a 200tdi? Or another can-type (I think the 2.5TD has something similiar). Should be in usable condition. It's rather urgent, and I need shipping to germany. I would pay 15quid plus shipping Cheers, Phil

Good Morning, I did a 200TDi conversion two months back, and the german MOT (TUV) wants a copy of a V5 of such a car so they can look up the details of the engine. I cant really understand what for, but I cant disagree with them as I will lose that one. So, if someone could pm me and send...

Hello all, I've returned yesterday from Hamburg. My wife had a presentation at the university there, so we started off on Monday morning from Frankfurt to Hamburg, to have a relaxed day in Hamburg on Tuesday and return Wednesday morning. Now I drive a series 3 109, recently put a 200tdi in...

Good afternoon, got my 200tdi this morning. Following things I'd like to know: Clutch: It's a 1993 Disco auto, so I just use the friction plate from me 2.25 petrol, screw on job, right? Exhaust: The exhaust manifold for a 2.5n/a is the same as for a 2.25 diesel. Diesel exhaust...

Good morning, installed lpg some 3k miles ago, and played with the timing. I've lost and ended up with either hgf (dont think so) or piston rings. Signs are oil mist blowing out of crank case breather, like 1l every 100mi. Didn't do a compression test, but I know I've been driving with...

Good afternoon, if someone's going down to germany please pm me. I need a 200tdi, preferrably from a defender. Going up to blighty is a tad too expensive for me at the moment. Looking into converting me series to 200tdi... Cheers, Phil

Cheers all, have found an ad for a 3.9EFI for 175 quid and thought about leaving me 2.25 petrol as spare, just in case (or while I overhaul it). Now, I know the 3.5 carb version goes "straight in", with an adaptor plate as I understand, but how about 3.9EFI? Are all V8 the same size or will I...

Cheers, anyone done such a conversion? What would be needed? Couldn't find any adaptor plates, so can I suppose it's just an 3.5 aluminium V8 just bored to 3.9l? So taking 3.5l adaptor plates? I think I've seen on Tef's HQ that for the 3.5 bulkhead mods are necessary, but nothing drastic...

Hi all, somehow this looks familiar, but I can't find it at the moment: What's that, partNo and can I repair it not taking out the whole GB? Cheers, thanks, Phil

Hi there, now that I've done it, I thought to share my experience with the LPG conversion. My 1978 S3 LWB got a Lovato Venturi system and a 65l Tank. The tank is monted on the offside, right behind the drivers seat (I wanted to keep the full length of the load area in case we have to sleep...

Hi there, now I short to taking apart everything to have a go at the timing chain, but wanted to make sure: She has misfire on idle. Irregularily, and it's not only one cylinder. All plugs are black, whether she's running lpg or petrol, normal or rich(dont let her run lean). Then I've had...
