Hello again! I've just had my beloved back from a long time stay in a LR specialist in Larbert, where it was getting refurbished axles, diffs, parabolic springs and of course the galvanised chassis, and new fuel tank. Bank Manager still not speaking to me but f*ck him. My point is that I've put...

Hi I recently replaced a hub, because a few of the studs were knackered. :) I filled it with swivel hub grease, which I quickly realised was the wrong stuff. :o However the grease had soaked through everything, seriously affecting the braking. :mad: I stripped everything down but forgot...

Hello guys! Recently my beloved dropped the connection to the fuel gauge, temperature gauge and heater fan switch. :( I've checked the fuses, and the spade connections to each of them, cleaned them and reassembled the dash. :D But they still won't come back to life. :confused: Can any of...

Hello again! I got Bessie back from the workshop/garage yesterday after leaving her there on the 5th February. She needed a new gearbox as I totally f****d the reverse gear in my last one, and she also needed some welding, springs and so on... Within a mile of the garage, on my way...

Hi guys I've recently bought 4 white steel wheels, and would like to de-rust them and paint them. :) Are there companies that do this, or is it a simple job with a wire brush, or drill attachment? What sort of stuff should I be doing: e.g. applying rust preventer/eater undercoats, etc...

Hello chappies!!! It's been a while since I poluted this website with my woes, but I'm pleased to say that whilst recovering my beloved from a snowy ditch outside Drymen today, I managed to bugger up something in the gear box. So I'm back to ask for your help once again. :) Low range 4 and...

If Series is III and is SWB petrol. Drivebygorgearses theoremsays you'll be fooked at the garage pumps. :rolleyes: So will 300tdi the earliest version fit into Series is III and prove Drivebygorgearses theorem wrong? :) Assuming 300tdi is from a discovery and is in good nick. :confused...

Now I do love Bessie, I do. :) I hope to nurture her for another 37 years if I can. At which point I'll be 82. :p However, I can't help but feel that she's taking the ****. Well actually let me add to that statement; I can't help but feel that she's taking A ****...on me...each time it...

Hi chaps! Through the wonders of this forum, and I mean it :), I've saved a fortune on repairs, :) know more about my beloved Series III than I could ever have imagined, :cool: and have taken advantage of the download section for the technical manuals that made all of this possible. :o I see...

Good evening. I have the chance of buying an full L reg (the one with the wee square headlights) diesel Discovery that is an MOT failure. :) What parts could I easily use on my petrol Series III? :confused: I'm thinking of using the engine and may be the gear box, but I don't know which it...

Hi guys Either Bessie has got worms or the rear springs are flatter than a supermodel's t**s. :doh: I've contacted a few of the guys who are part of the Land Rover Club I'm a member of, and they're quoting normal prices (Paddock prices I think!) for the parabolics and about £30-£40 for each...

:eek: :mad: :confused: Hello laddies and lasses. My much loved Series is due for her insurance renewal and as I was in a rush last year I didn't really spend much time looking for the best company/cover. I'm with Lancaster just now on Third Party, Fire & Theft for a Glasgow Address and...

Laddies and Lassies Bessie is back from a month in a pal's garage, who was trying to get it working in between main jobs, but to no avail. I've fitted a new weber carb (replaced the old weber one, as we thought it might be suspect). Bessie almost starts but turns over and catches a wee...

Hi I may have the chance to obtain an "H" reg, 2.5 Diesel Range Rover Classis. It's an MOT failure, but if I can't be 4RSED trying to mend it, I was wondering if the engine would fit in my Series easily. Any ideas chaps? :confused:

Before I try this off my own back and initiative, I am seeking advice from the Gods/Guru's of Landy knowledge... I have mud flaps and a standard £30 bench seat to fit today to Bessie. Is there any particular thing I need to do with each, i.e. drilling, or are there holes already there in the...

Where's my clonk?:) I hear a whirr of the starter motor turning, but that's all it does . Does it then spin into the fly wheel to start Bessie? Does it feck? Whassup pals? Is it s a new starter motor from Paddocks, or can I do this myself? Cheers Ken

Hi all I find my seats in my wee Bessie, quite comfy, and indeed on the 120 mile trip back home on the day that I bought her, I found that the bouncing and fixed seating position actually CURED the sciatica I had at the time. However, I'm now wondering if, from a safety point of view, if I...

Hi chappies! Bessie had a ride on the back of a flat bed A.A. truck last weekend, and having stripped off the drum, angle ground off the two hub nuts, I see she's fairly fooked in the bearing department...in fact looking at the images, I think you'll see she hasn't one at all. :( This could...

:) I recently fitted a new battery to her ladyship, as the one that came with her had quite corroded terminals. Worse than that, it used to get pretty warm and had actually sprung a wee leak, which ****ed against the oil bath filter wotsit. But I've noticed after a longish run that the...
