Correction...Series 3!!! It's been a long day

Hi all, After a catastrophically poor start to my time with LandyZone where I was convinced I had a 'Project Iceberg' v8 diesel I proved myself to be the archetypal 'all the gear, no idea'. With this in mind I now know when to ask for help. I have a series 2 land rover with a range rover...

Thanks Mr Noisy. Will do...

Engine number: 10A2526 Off Rover engine number detail: 10A00001A. BbSD1 manual 9.35:1cr. 1976-1987 I think this is the right one. Your verdict gentleman...

Lol and fancy it would be! Nah I'm not too precious about this kind of stuff and I know I fluffed it anyway. Have already had more help here than ANYWHERE else I've looked.

Fellas I appreciate its a ridiculous mistake and its the most rookie of rookie errors so i will accept the abuse with good humour. As if I'd have a choice anyway?! I love cars, especially land rovers but my mechanical knowledge is minimal at best but I learn best "on the job" (oooo cheeky!) I...

After a rocky start (on my behalf) I have to say you guys are great. I really appreciate the advice and will definitely take you up on your offers. Thanks again!!!

As stubborn or as naive as I may be I want to keep the V8. I need now to find a suitable gearbox with transmission box to fit it. Any suggestions? Anyone interested in the old one? Currently have a diesel fuel system which I know I can drain and get professionally cleaned (obviously changing...

It's currently in Avergavenny so I won't be able to get up there until next Weds. I'll post the engine number as soon as I get up there. Thanks for the offer muscrat. I may well be giving you a shout.

Thanks guys. Back to the drawing board...

I have the rest of the bits too. Tempted to just sell the whole thing and forget about this ugly affair

Got it for a steal. I hope... £123

Thanks dippypud! :)

Thanks for the advice bencorkill. Happy to have the petrol and will accommodate accordingly. Thanks for your help guys no matter how damaging its been to my self esteem lol

Guys, I'm being a twonk! You're all obviously right. This isn't a joke though honest! I haven't done anything as big as this before and I'm learning as I go. I really live Landy's and would love a working one. It was sold to me as a diesel but didn't even bother to research whether this is...

It was sold to me as a V8 diesel???

Both probably. I have been a complete mug from start to finish. I will persevere however and get the blooming thing back on the road. I'd rather just get rid of the whole thing but it cost me a fortune for 1 weeks worth of motoring

Yeah a V8 diesel for the extra grunt and torque but understand its an abomination lol I also didn't want to change all the fuel kit as currently running on diesel. I have sorted the clutch issue so it fits the current shaft but as I say one or other needs changing. I really appreciate your...

Hi everyone. I'm new to the forum and I'm looking for a little bit of help. I have a 1981 Series III Land Rover. I've always fancied one and decided to take the plunge earlier this year. Unfortunately I was a complete mug and I think I'm pretty safe to say I got ripped off. The chassis is Pretty...
