Probably a very simple question....which will probably result in a very simple answer???? After getting Gerty back from the garage found a small gasket laid on top of the crossmember adjacent to the clutch slave cylinder, so guessing that when they took it apart it got put somewhere convenient...

This may sound a ridiculously simple question, but when I'm checking the oil level in my Fairey overdrive should I be screwing the dipstick in to check it or just resting it on top of the threads?

Bit of a weird one maybe, but my 88" Diesel Stationwagon 1975 S3 (Gerty) was originally supplied by a garage in Tonbridge, Kent called Stevensons - Does anybody know anything about this garage? does it still exist (albeit under another name) as I can find no information at all about it on google...

Being the lucky git that I am I have managed to collect two capstan winches, one of which I will fit to the front of my 1975 88" Series 3. One of these winches is a Fairey (FWL) and the other a Mayflower (MAP), both of which are almost identical as I understand that Fairey took over Mayflower...

Those of you who are more experienced than I in all things automotive....Please don't laugh at what I am about to ask.... I am replacing a few bits and pieces on the engine (only simple things like water temp sender, adaptor, etc - my question is when I screw the new bits in, do I need to seal...

Hi Guys, I have an old Fairey capstan winch...all seems to work fine, but I want to take it apart and give it a good clean, only problem is I don't know how to take the bollard off???? I thought it was just a case of undoing the three bolts on the top, but that just seems to keep the cap on -...

...Just got myself a Fairey Capstan winch, and after cleaning all the crud off of it it appears to be in surprisingly good condition and seems to work fine (needs a bit of a clean on the inside and new oil, but nothing nasty). The only problem is the UJ is completely knackered and previous...

Right then.... not being much of an electrician, but always willing to have a go at something new, I've decided it's time to add some additional lights to Gerty (1975 88" diesel series 3)... nothing too modern, but something to add a bit to the current headlights when out and about. Anyway...

Whent off in gerty to pick up a new shed to convert into large duck house for the missus.... on the way home she suddenly and without warning lost all gears at a very busy road junction about 3 miles from home. As is typical with the land rover community around here, the very first land rover...

After asking the following question to a somewhat dubious looking advert on ebay (see link) Landrover 90 Comp safari 88" 200tdi 1959 Tax EXEMPT Road legal Offroad Challenge | eBay "Bit concerned about the provenance of this vehicle? Before I bid... can you confirm exactly which bits of...

Hi, Looking to fit a full set of inner and outer wheel bearings to my 1975 S3 88" Diesel as part of a full axle refurb.... Dunsfold and others seem to offer Timken and NTN bearings as OEM part replacements, but I was wondering which ones were best (given that they appear to be very similar in...

Hi All, Just thought I'd introduce myself... I've been kicking around in the Series section for a while as have an old 1975 Series 3, but went up to check some emails the other day, had a flick on Fleabay and before you know I was trying to explain to the wife why I had just purchased a 1992...

Hi guys.... This may be a rather silly question, but I was always taught that if you don't know them ask. I've had to replace the fuel tank on my 1974 S3 SWB (2.25 petrol). I noticed that when I lifted up the driver's seat to disconnect the pipes etc that their is an in-line filter, but what...

As everybody knows the turning circle on an S3 SWB is not great, but "Flo's" is awful? I have found the steering stop bolts from searching other threads and wound them right in, but the wheels still do not fully turn far enough to touch either them or the chassis or even the springs...

Latest on my list of needed bits is a Truck Cab mounting plate (Part No 346325) the bit that fills the gap between the bottom of the rear truckcab bottom and the top of the bulkhead behind the seats on a short wheel base Series 3 landy - Don't suppose anybody has one going spare for sale or...

...just took delivery of my new replacement Diff Pan from Steve Parker - found it online by pure chance and now it's been delivered I have to admit I am properly impressed!!!! Need to replace my old corroded rear diff pan, was leaking for a while and managed to fill it for a short term repair...

Wife wants a slightly smaller and thicker steering wheel for her 1974 petrol SWB Series 3.... I have seen a few on that well known auction site for mid late 1980s 90 land rovers - does anybody know if these will fit, or know what others will? Thanks

Just got Gerty back from her MOT since the full rebuild.... Now bearing in mind that I have no mechanical experiance at all prior to this; and admittedly I had a great deal of help from friends, but still after a full chassis and bulkhead replacement, new brake system throughout, change of...
