Hi again. Well, I've had three great weeks of trouble-free SeriesIII driving and now have a problem that occured without warning. I used it on Tuesday - all ok. Today (Friday) went to get going and the engine would not start. With the help of the wife's car and jump leads I got the engine to...

Well, the Q is in the subject there ! I would like to think they would because I think a one-piece door is better than a two-piece however, I guess the lock mechanism is going to cause a kafuffle isn't it? My top half is loose on the passenger side and all the rain gets in on mi new posh...

Can anyone throw any light on this for me ? Ta. This morning I got in Series3 station wagon (2.25 Diesel & 4 speed gearbox) to go get new seats with headrests and inertia seatbelts etc... except, when I put in gear and let the clutch out, nothing happened. I tried all gears and still nothing...

I'm thinking of getting a K reg Disco 200tdi. It has a long MOT, 190K on the clock and is a tad tatty on the inside and out. It has four years service history and drives like a dream (although the clutch bites extremely close to the floor). Is there/are there any issues with this model of...

Me again, Mi old starter motor is now in bits and all cleaned up. There are some areas that the haynes manual doesn't cover, such as the drive assembly. As mine is in bits, I wondered if anyone can point me in the right direction of LUCAS (as it's the early LUCAS M45G starter motor) and thus...

Hellooo again. One of mi next jobs is to possibly renew/mend mi sills. The sills are rusty and you can see daylight thru them (not huge amounts). They are no different now to two months ago when it passed it's mot. So, should I use chequer plate or more steel or what? Has anyone done the...

Hi again, Ok, give it to me straight - What have I REALLY let miself in for? Is it possible to get a 1980 LWB Station Wagon with Diesel 2.25 in it up to such a standard that I can drive to the Lakedistrict and back without worrying? Are all my weekends now hijacked by my ever growing list of...

I know this is basic stupid stuff but I've committed a bit of a faux pas ! Last week I took off the earlier version (Lucas M45G) starter motor from a 2286 Diesel engine. Things got a bit tight with time/light etc and in a hurry I only made a mental note of where I removed the earth strap...

Hi. I've just joined (thought it sensible) because I'm picking up my very first Land rover tomorrow ! I'm too excited. It's an old (1980) Series III 109 Station Wagon with the old petrol taken out and an old diesel 2286cc put in ! It's a ghastly cream colour and it's got a spare wheel on the...

Picking up my very first landy tomorrow - SIII 109 Stationwagon with a diesel 2.25 engine. I can't wait. Ok, what should I know? what should I be looking out for before I take it with the boat and camping gear on it's first jaunt?
