    Series 3 Grind on over-run?

    Looking at this month's CLR, there is a report that an out of phase prop shaft can cause an grinding noise on the over-run, a problem I'm facing. Can anyone shed any light in this? I can understand constant vibration due to poor prop phasing but I can't get my head around a grind on over-run. I...

    Series 3 Leaky roof

    On the one day it's rained in the last 2 months I found out how much my roof leaks. Oddly, it's not the rubber seals between the panels but the guttering round the top roof panel. The water fills up the channels on the inside. Looking down the external gutters someone has put some sort of...

    Series 3 Rumble on part throttle

    Having run Harry round for a few miles now it's clear there is a strong rumble coming from under the driver area on part throttle. No rumble on no-throttle or above 50% throttle upward. There is also a terrible rumble using 4wd. I'm fairly confident of a transfer box front output bearing on the...

    Does anyone have a decent picture of Rayleigh trimmed seats in their tratter? I'm refurbing a set of Defender seats for my Series and no one does the covers I actually want (Neptune) as the material is out of stock, so I'm looking at others; Denim Twill, Moorland or maybe Rayleigh, if I can get...

    Series 3 Crazy wipers

    On rebuilding my SIII I've run into wiper issues. The arms should travel in opposite directions (divers side anti clockwise, passenger clockwise) but mine both go clockwise. They do however park in the right place. I think this means I need to invert the wheel box on drivers side but before I...

    Uploading PDF files to the forum?

    I'm trying to upload a FWH manual to the forum for general assistance but there doesn't seem to be a way to do it. I've used the Search but can only find references to people asking to be emailed which defeats the point. Is this something that could be added if not already available? Thanks
