Hello people, I've been offered a set of rear shocks (surplus to requirements kind of thing) for cheap! but having done a few searches and gotten a bit of conflicting advice about what year shock mounts changed on the defender and things about chopping cups off brackets etc. I thought id just...

As title really. Works out at £6 per litre but haynes lists castrol syntax but doesn't give any specs. to compare it to! Cheers! Lodexol SS 75W/90 Semi-Synthetic Gear Oil 5 litre Lubricants and Oils

Sorry guys. I'm having to use my phone at the min. And the search doesnt want to work. I've had to pick up a part worn tyre as I cant get one new until it gets delivered to the place im getting it from. My spare was dead too. The tyre I have works out to be just under 2% different in rolling...

Hello all, i've searched but not found anything yet that helps me. I had a blow out on the defender which is running 265/75/16 tyres on a 6.5" rim with a tube. I went to get a replacement and was told that it was illegal to have this set up and the shop (an indy. land rover specialist) refused...

Hello all! I've been on here for a while but after having to sell the series 3 while the little one was...well...little, I have popped in every so often and have now decided to get a 90 to go along with my new job. Theres one for sale locally,1999 td5 done 45k miles and has a good straight...

hello all, not been on here for a while - had to get rid of the landy, but... the guy I sold it to has done something to it! there's a nasty clunk/slip from the rear prop shaft area, he thinks after about 9 rotations of the shaft. Am I right in thinking maybe something in the diff has gone? Or...

ive been given a few imperial sockets and found one that has 1/4ww on it. it is of a greater diameter than 1/4 inch, more like half inch! its got me baffled! just wondered if anyone could shed any light! cheers

found out last night that if you remove the cover on the master cylinder and use a LARGE screwdriver to activate the master cyl. it was possible to activate it and reach down and turn the bleed nipple on the slave from above. To hold the cyl. in was able to place a second screwdriver between the...

Just had to sell the series 3, snif snif, but the guy its going to is a really nice guy. Well it will be going to once the slave cyl. is replaced after p*ssing fluid all over weston park on sat! I had the bottom brackets replaced and was wondering if any kind soul had a bit of pastel green...

Hello all. I posted a scam email i got in the 'anything goes' section. The person who sent it got in touch through the landyzone 'for sale' section as its the only place my series 3 is advertised! (is there a hint there?mmmm?) But seriously have a look! Taggy

Father in law gave me a catalogue from these guys, was looking through and saw this plus another few things. Was wondering if any of the fantastically all knowing members here has used them or if they think they will be any good! :D Metal Ready (20oz, 590ml) (S205) - Frost Auto Restoration...

Ok then, anyone know where i can get a decent deal on swivels balls for a series 3 with all the seals, bearing etc? i know there are lost of places to look but was wandering if anyone has seen a good deal anywhere! Also, what size nuts and bolts are needed to fix everyting to the axle housing...

Does anyone have a picture of an extended gearbox breather in place cos i cant seem to find out where the bloody things are supposed to go! I've got oil coming out the top of the box so i'm guessing its to do with a hole on top behind the lever? So thought as i've got axle breathers, a gearbox...

Ok is it possible to remove the whole of the hub and swivel ball together? it looks like they are bolted to the axle either side of the diff, is it possible, more to the point, should it be done? I have no garage or drive so i dont want to lose the millions of bits on the road, rather get it...

posted something in general chat but though here would be the best place to put the question! does this sound a decent buy? i have to look for something more family orientated than a s111 with no real rear seats! Manual, 78,000 miles, 12 months MOT, 3 months Tax, 78000 genuine miles, 7 seats...

£2500 is about the maximum i can afford to spend and it has to be a landrover of course. Hopefully there is a sprog on the way (fingers crossed) and neither the nissan micra (the missus' excuse for a car) or the series three with rear bench seats seem suitable for transportin a little one plus...

Hello again! On my series 3 in line with the fuel line going to the carb, there is a silver metal cylinder with 'fuel save' written on it, i've never seen or heard of this, does anyone know what it is or what it is supposed to do? Was on when i got it, just never asked if the guy fitted it! Cheers

Does anyone know if a 90 tailgate will fit a series 3 without modification? I want to remove the top but not have everythin fall outa the back! cheers

Was very bored and was channel hopping, came across that program where celebs get given cars to do challenges in. This one was an off road course in old ford grenadas! But what interested me was the training/recovery vehicle. It was well cut up bodywize and had leaf springs on tractor tyres...

Hello again! Can anyone suggest where i might be able to get a not too expensive roll bar for a series 3? It doesnt have to be mega solid, really want it to mount harness to when the top is off, so would want it to fit inside hard top aswell. Would it need to mount to the chassis or just in the...
