    Gotta be a ringer? Anyone on here know it before or after?

    Saw this: HYBRID LAND ROVER SERIES 3 | eBay While firstly wondering exactly which bits are actually off a Series 3, I began wondering if anyone might recognise it.... The seller might be innocent but I can't see myself how this could possibly be registered legally as an S3. :( Thoughts?

    Shim washers required, any ideas where from?

    I've tried all my local bolt suppliers, bearing suppliers, model shops etc but no joy. I need a shim washer for the Sanden PXV16 8622 air con clutch on my 2004 Freelander TD4. I gather the PXV16 is used on a few other Landy models- it's the one with a blue sticker like this: I have...

    Hi peeps.. I'm on the lookout for a facelift Freelander 1 with Td4 probably 3 door, poss 5 door (as I just found out I can't get the Alpaca trim in 3 door!! Why can't manufacturers let the customers decide??!!) but can't decide on manual or auto. I would prefer auto but I do a high mileage...

    Waste Veg Oil Filtration System and Use.

    Posted this a while ago on another forum, but will copy here in the hope it is of interest to someone. It's basically my Waste Veg Oil (WVO) dewatering and filtering setup. I also include the fuel heater write up I fitted to my first Pajero. My last Pajero will have a full system fitted- inline...

    Bloody brakes..

    Short/cheap insurance policy for '83 S3 MOD?

    Hi. Just about to finish my S3 109 ex MOD with tilt and need to get it MOT'd. Trouble is, it isn't insured and when I spoke to my company about it before they said it HAD to be on a Military Vehicle policy as it is an ex MOD 109 GS. So the question is, does anyone know of where I can get a...

    Dodgy starter motor solenoid on L-series Freelander, TD4, TD5 or K V6

    Had problems starting my 99 model L series Freelander. Was advised it could be the solenoid contacts. Symptoms include: Failure of starter to turn- just click once then nothing. Starter turns only a few revs then stops then nothing. Occasionally starts but sounds/feels sluggich while...

    Freelander heater fan speed fix

    The internal heater fan has only worked in 3 and 4 settings, and I always like the fan on at least 1 setting to prevent misting, so it needed fixing pronto. Found on these fora that there is a pack of heater coils in the airflow that determine the fan speed. Sounds like an overly complicated way...

    Starting problem. Starter motor or ignition quirk?

    Working through my new Freelander 50th Anniversary L series 1999 and nearly done but found a curious fault in the starting. Sometimes I turn the key, wait for the glow plug light to go out and fire away. Other times it just makes the solenoid click. My first suspicions when it simply wouldn't...

    Where to get front of rear spring outriggers for MILITARY 109 S3???

    Hi! Title says it all... The only bad grot on my S3 109 is the right side front of rear spring outrigger which is proper nurdled, and the left footwell which I'm sorting tomorrow. I ordered an outrigger form Paddocks, but forgot to mention it was a Military chassis with the two height option...

    My 'new' series 3 109/welding question

    Just managed to squeeze it into the back yard to commence work. All old Landys should be named after their registration number, so what should mine be called??:doh::o As you can see, despite the suggestion of the reg plate, it is indeed very straight for an...

    Steering more heavy that should be?

    Hi guys.. finally bought my first Landy yesterday- an '83 Series 3 109 ex MOD soft top GS. I seem to recall reading somewhere that after the loss of the Atlantic Conveyor in the Falklands, the MOD quickly bought up civvy 109s and 'Militarised' then. Is this true? Anyway, the steering on this...

    Wotcha..

    Hello peeps. Been reading lots and learning so thought I'd better join up to ask more specific questions.. I'm looking to buy a soft top Landy- either Series 3 88" or a later Ninety. Preferably Bronze Green or Marine Blue at a push. And preferably diesel. The ideal would have a galva chassis...
