Hi Guys, I'm still trying to get my series 3 2 1/4 diesel up and running but can't get any fuel to the injectors, I have plenty of nice air free fuel at the bleed point on the block but can't even get a dribble out of the injector ports before my battery goes dead after a good few minutes...

Hey up, I'm back again. I was just wondering if anybody knows if the ignition switch for a diesel series 3 with a steering lock can in any way be replaced with the much cheaper one that is for one without a steering lock as mine seems to have gone pete tong and there's about £40 difference...

Hi all, I've posted about this issue before, but it's been a while, so as I still have about the same amount of fuel getting through to my injectors as I'm likely to have both hair left on my head and money in the bank at the end of this project, I thought I'd put another shout for help out. So...

Right, here I go again. My 1978 series 3 diesel with CAV fuel pump won't prime. Starting at the beginning I have had the engine out and done a partial rebuild (only really piston rings and big end bearings and overhaul of head) for this I took the fuel pump off, now it's back in and a few weeks...

Hi all, I'm in the process of refitting a refurbished galv bulkhead to my series 3, I started today and found that basically not much fits. I expected a little bit of warping due to the galv process but the main bulkhead bottom bolt holes were a good inch out, so had to carefully stretch it...

Hi, I'm going through a very steady (read that slow) rebuild of my series 3 2 1/4 diesel. Tonight I thought I'd have a bash at replacing the little end bearings, I didn't think it would be a big job, however after removing one con rod and persuading the original bush out, I then tried to fit a...

Hi, A few questions here, any help really appreciated. I'm doing a rebuild and struggling with some items. Series 3 Diesel 1978 1/ My engine is suffix A and painted green (thinking replaced at some point) and currently has a mashed 3 stud exhaust manifold (598104) that i'd like to replace...

Hi, I've finally got my engine out (2.25 diesel 3bg) and have just popped the pistons out and here is where the confusion starts. The end caps are numbered but the numbers weren't relevant to the cylinders they came out of. It ran ok before strip down so should I worry about this? Also I'd like...

Here we go again, my back left indicator is not working and my front left is flashing really slow, will this be an earth issue at the back left or something else i've seen other people have problems with slow indicators but they say it affects left and right so think i may have something...

Hi, I'm hoping somebody has an answer for me on this one, my cross member on my SWB S3 is bent upwards from a knock and needs replacing but they're rediculously expensive however I have found someone who says he has a LWB one for sale, the question is are they different? It looks the same in...

Hi Guys, I have a quick question about the centre seat in my 1978 series 3, there isn't one there at the moment but I'd like to fit one however I'm not sure how it mounts does it have a support frame or do the back and base from somewhere like paddocks come with some kind of mounts on them...

Hi all, After having a good look under my series 3 i have found that the cross member under the bell housing has taken an almighty clout at some point before i got it and i believe has shifted up therefore making the prop shaft foul when the suspension hangs, knackering it up. I have a new...

Hi, I have a few questions about series 3 dashboards. 1/ Were they built with hazard warning light switches? (my old one had one but this one doesn't.) 2/ My toggle switch for the heater has 3 positions but only works on the central one, is it the wrong switch or should there be 2 different...

Hi, Just got myself a series 3 after being land roverless for a few months so now i'm happy again but have to sort a few things. One of which is the missing covers for the wiring either side in the rear, if i remember rightly they're slightly angled boxes that bolt in to cover the rear light...

Hi I had my centre console out and to do this disconnected the hand brake by popping the clevis pin out but since putting back together the button does not return forward without a good clout. Any ideas? I've sprayed wd40 down there which helps a bit but something must be rubbing is there a...

This one is a bit vague but maybe someone can help! when i pull off or stop etc even at very low speeds i'm getting an annoying dull clunk/click that sounds like it's coming from just over my right shoulder it's so annoying i've taken to driving with my stereo on full to drown it out. I first...
