Hi folks, the old girl is blowing oil out of the breather cap, its so bad I've Routed the pipe to the back of the chassis. I now have a very rare twin exhaust series 3 Land rover! I know this is usually symptomatic of a worn engine, but in fairness less than 3 years and 15,000 miles ago I...

But I thought I'd finally add an avatar photo of the old girl. She is called Lou, from Loo hoo ( sic) which is what the Chinese call Land rovers apparently it means "road tiger"! She didn't look like this 3 years ago....

Hi folks, I rebuilt my series III a few years back, including a recon 2.5 TD engine, and an overhauled injector pump. Recently, it has been a real problem to start. Taking about 3 attempts of really cranking the starter, and then it will start on the third go. I've checked the glow plugs...

Hi Folks, Just a thought. When I rebuilt my series III, I rebuilt and put in a 2.5TD engine my mate had lying about. With all the other calls on my cash during the project I just welded the down pipe from the manifold onto the smaller bore existing 2.25 exhaust. I'm wondering what loss of...

Hi folks, I have a 19 j fitted to series 3.Diesel is dripping from the fuel solenoid at the back of the injector pump. I tried PTFE tape on the thread, but no joy. Does anyone have any suggestions? Many thanks for reading.

Hi folks, Can anyone cast any light on this problem. A mate and I have rebuilt a series 3 with a 19 j engine ( rebored etc). It has developed starting problems. I give it 20 seconds of heat , it cranks over well, but it will not start without plenty of cranking, and some throttle. It then...

What a clot I am. having been working with a mate to rebuild a 19 j engine to put in my series III. Putting the finishing touches to the engine today after the install when I overtightened the pipe on the back of the fuel pump to the turbo ( waste gate I think) ,and cracked a small lump off the...

Hi folks, can anyone recommend a cone air filter which will go straight on to the turbo of a 19J? Many thanks as ever :)

Hi Folks i originally posted in hte series forum, and had some really good advice. But i was wondering if anyone can help with the problem. I have a series 3 which had 2.25 diesel in it that died shortly after i bought it ( for my better half). i am fitting a 19j ( earlier version sadly) but...

Hi Folks wonder if anyone can advise on my predicament. The 2.25 diesel croaked in the series 3 i bougth for my wife as a surprise Xmas present ( no it REALLY was for her!). I was offered a 19j by a friend, and given we know nothing of its history I decided to rebuild it put in, new pistons hot...

Hi everyone, I'm puzzled by an oil leak between the dipstick tube and nut that secures the tube. I had it out and put PTFE tape around the thread and the olive, no joy, still leaks. So I bougt a new tube. I put that in and oddly it won't screw in quite so far ( about 10mm shy of the block)...
