Am really thoughtful about selling my series 3 1974 88 too cheaply. Looking on Ebay and a few other sites a near wreck is about £1000 plus! My series 3 runs very well , petrol, Full MOT solid bulkhead etc and I was offered £1200? Am I being done do you think? I know prices are on the up so...

Hi all, my series 3 land rover has been off the road for about 8 months. I have been trying to start her today, but she wont fire up. The engine is turning over, there is a good spark at the plugs (electronic ignition fitted) the fuel is getting up to the carburrettor from the pump but I have...

I have been lucky enough to obtain a nice low mileage second hand cylinder head for my 1974 88 Land Rover. It has been stored for a while so has some slight surface rust. Is there anything I can use to clean it up myself? I know a machine shop would do this, but I like to do things myself If I...

So I'm wanting to buy a new door top for my Land Rover 1974 88. Now my problem is I bought this vehicle about 18 months ago and have found Both series 2 and 3 parts on it. So, my question is....... when I went to look to purchase the door top online I noticed there is one for a series 2 door and...

My 1974 Land Rover 88 Is in pretty good condition bodywork wise just a bit of minor surface rust around the bulkhead air vents etc. When I bought her she had already been brush painted, which is ok I don't mind it looks pretty good overall, I would like to give her a fresh coat of paint and tidy...

Was just wondering if anyone was going or has been before to the Land Rover Series club event at Newark showground at the end of May? Im in that area then and fancied a looksee? Is it open to non members of the series club? Are there any trade stalls or goodies on sale?

Well this morning I started up my series 3 88 1974 Land Rover after a winter overhaul including new Timing chain, Carb overhaul with new service kit, New Fuel pump and line, oil change and new choke cable. Was delighted when she started up fine, even better no smoke and a great sounding engine...

I just took a look at my timing chain on my series2/3 1974 88 and wondered how you tell how tight it should be to determine the wear if any? Its not what I would describe as taught (chain is still on the engine with tensioner etc) Its more like a fan belt check when you place your finger in the...

Is there any particular way of knowing exactly what carburettor you have in your Land Rover? Any identifying marks or numbers? Mine is a Weber but I want to buy an overhaul kit for it but don't know what type of Weber it is? Having just discovered my Land Rover I bought 12 monthes ago had a...

I've just taken my Fuel pump off my 1974 Series 3 for an overhaul. Bloody typical, everything seems totally different to the Haynes manual or other references I have found! Having ordered an overhaul kit which was labelled like so many parts "For all series 2 2A and 3 Land Rovers" So its totally...

I have to take my rear Parabolic springs off as the bushes are Knackered. The previous owner fitted the springs and because some of the other things he did were bodged I want to check he put the right springs on the right side. How can you tell the drivers side one (bit more stiffer I believe to...

I have a series 3 1974. She looks a bit uneven on the drivers side looking from the rear. (Fine on front) She has Parabolic springs which look fine so I'm wondering if its a shock Absorber gone? It makes a bit of a donk/bang once when cornering on left hand bends (when the weight on the...

Just recently while driving along my head/side light switch started to smoke and was red hot to touch after driving with the lights on at night for about half an hour. The switch was ruined but was old so I bought a new one and started again. Same thing happened! This all happened after I bought...

Was gutted today! After passing her MOT and doing exstensive testing with my 1974 88 2.25 petrol Land Rover, I hitched her up to my medium sized Caravan only to find her gutless on even the slightest of gradiants. She goes like a bomb without towing and never uses a drop of oil or water so...

Well firstly I want to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who helped me with my problems Ive had on my 1974 series 3 88. With the help of you forum friends she passed her MOT with flying colours! So, Its a little odd that I have this latest niggle...... Im getting judder when reversing on an...

Anyone point me in the right direction for a gearstick gaitor for my 1974 series 3 88 four wheel drive stick (red knob) :) that lasts longer than a couple of weeks please??? Mine perished within that time from new. Think it was Britpart. Its the only beef Ive had with them so far.

My series land rover has had a wheel hub stud shear, I tried welding it back in but it broke again so for safety Im going to buy a new hub assembly. My question is....... Mine on the axle now has the studs discribed as small studs (Landy 2A ones?) So Im guessing the whole axle is from a 2A. The...

Ive got a Sill panel coming from Paddocks for my series 3 88 1974. Im guessing it wont be Alluminum anymore and it will be steel? Am I right? Anyway, My question is, Are body panels usually coted in any protection paint etc and if not whats the right method of treatment before applying the...

Bit odd this........ When Ive started my series 88 1974 SWB landy up and Im warming her up, if I manouver when shes warmed up and I put my foot on the brake pedal the red ignition light comes on and the engine stalls? Other times it doesnt happen but seems to be more lately? Obviously an...

How do you know weather your parabolic spring bushes need to be replaced or not? (series 3 88) When I bought my land rover there was a set inside the box under the passenger seat, so im wondering if previous owner was going to do it?
