I saw this in the description of a 36IV on Ebay - "It has had the common Zenith carb problem fixed (a small hole between the two halves of the body can leak fuel and cause a rich mixture - now plugged with a section of neoprene O-ring, as recommended)." Anyone have more details of the problem or...

Good stuff ! Thanks

The Transmission Brake shoes on my Series 3 SWB 2.25 petrol are soaked in oil so I guess the oil seal needs replacement. I can't find anything about how to go about this in the manuals & forum. Any guidance would be appreciated.

Had this problem with mine this last couple of months. Turns out fuel mixture was too weak. Gradually increased it 1/4 turn until the popping disappeared altogether.

Yep - agree. Definitely fit the top bracket. Photo attached.

Hi, I thought that too but when they are in place they feel real solid. The top brackets weren't home made, they came with the belts from a fellow subscriber - see attachment. They are readily available from LR S3 suppliers or eBay. I can take a photo of them fitted if you wish. Alan.

Many thanks for the Weber 34ICH data. Did a full overhaul (except couldn't get the accelerator pump ejector out - didn't want to risk damage). Runs a treat now! Cheers!

I've been asked how I finally fitted the belts. Thought it might be of use to others, so attached my notes here.

Many thanks for the links guys. That kampenwagon site is really something - some folk just have far too much time on their hands!

Under Optional Equipment, my S3 Owners Manual talks about a split charge system consisting of a Diode pack fitted to the Radiator Grill and a terminal unit fitted to the vehicle rear body. I would like to install this. Does anyone have any further details such as wiring diagram, part numbers...

Many thanks for the reply. I've had much help and now ready to go. The belts themselves are not too much of the problem, more the anchor points. Best approach to me seems to be to fit the angle brackets at top for the belt holder and a do-it-yourself job for the reel attachment (as you...

Many thanks for your reply. I too have come across many variants - hence the original post. Every Series 3 I have looked at appears to have a different fit. I am happy now about the top bracket (belt holder) fitting. The brackets that fit 30 deg in the top forward corner of the hardtop seem...

Many thanks for the reply. Do you know the part numbers? I would also be very interested to know how/where you fixed the lower bracket, presumably the one where the reel is bolted to.

Thanks. That would be a great help.

Where can I get help in choosing and finding the right belts/fixings for replacing the ones on the front seats in my Series 3? The existing static belts are 3 point fixed on the the top of the bulkhead behind the top of the seats, corner of the doorwell and behind the seat back. They need...
