Hi Guys, In the morning I may have to use my 30 year old SIII to haul our Td5 back to the main road. :rolleyes: I am hearing concerns about how to do it though as with no engine there will be no power steering and no brakes. The brakes I can handle, but with no steering this may be an issue...

Hi Guys, Had my old SWB series III wagon for over 13 years now and periodically I go through the pondering on how I could upgrade the front brakes. I have the LWB drums on the front, so it's already uprated. However, they are still manual adjust drums and prone to pulling when you least...

Hi Guys, I'm a series motor, petrol head mainly an I have a diesel givin' me grief! I have found it will start no problem at all as soon as it's warm. The problem is first start of the day, especially if it's been left for a couple of days. The temperatures here are getting down to -10C most...

Hi Guys, I have been overhauling my old Series III SWB and replacing the rear floor. I have had a section of 2mm Alu cut and bent such as the edges are bent up to rivet onto the side walls of the loadbay, into solid metal. The flanges had corroded away. I have replacement ribs and they are...

Hi Guys, I have a set of Goodyear Wrangler MT's, not a patch on my old Trakedge, but what can ya do... One of the tyres is wearing with alternate shoulders getting worn down. Castellated, like an old Castle wall. Has anyone seen this before? I know the Freelanders suffered from this, but...

Hi All, Anyone know if these are any good? I was shown on the other day and it made short work of a pretty crappy wheel, but I just looked at the price and wondered just how useful they are in the bigger scheme of things. They are about 60 quid.

OK guys, I have sat and pondered this for long enough. I think it is time you Landie Gurus earn your keep! Where are all the women who desperately yearn and want a man with a slightly oily Landie? I have been looking in Scotland and fear only the Polish girls are interested, although that is...

Hi Guys, I had an interesting experience with Landrover this morning that I thought would be of interest to other folk who maintain their own vehicles. I bought a Water expansion tank from my local Landrover dealer, for my 300Tdi. The original had sprung a leak, and being a pressure vessel I...

Hi Guys, I have an old Fairey overdrive, from before the days of my new Rocky Mountain overdrive. The other day I re-assembled it following "Legs" returning it to me in pieces, not that I hold a grudge!!! I have found I need a new mainshaft and a couple of other bits that seem to have been...

Ok Guys, before you say it, I know there is no stopping it. I have a 98 Series I Discovery 300Tdi. It's doing surprisingly well for a modern Landrover, it's only had 2 new back doors a new set of front wings and a paint job. After all it is only 9 years old... :rolleyes:Ahem! However, I am...

Hi Guys, Just a quick hi, I've had my 1983 SIII 88" for about 12 years now and rebuilt most parts of it at one point or another. I'm from near Edinburgh in Scotland. The old landie was doing nearly 18k a year until 2 years ago when I retired it for the second time and now I also have a Disco...

Hi Guys, I have just done an oil change on my SIII 2.25 petrol, stage II cyclinder head. The old oil was quite thick and sludgy but the engine is generally in good order. Following the oil change I have a "tacka tacka" noise from what seems to be cylinder 4. I've had the rocker assembly appart...
