Good morning everyone
My name is Ray and I live in Staffordshire. I owned a series three for the first time about twenty five years ago selling it to buy a defender eleven years ago. Unfortunately my defender was stolen two months ago.
I was told about a series three diesel in a shed a couple of years ago and I have just purchased it.
It' been in the shed for at least fifteen years with 19052 miles on it and is very straight for its year 1981.
I hope you don't get fed up with me asking to many questions as I will be attempting to do all the jobs myself. Thanks in advance
Ray

And welcome from me. I don't know anything so it's pointless asking me!! I just own a selection of hammers in my tool box!!!
But nice motor can't wait to see it brought back to life

Embarrassment to the LR name
 
@popa ray Welcome aboard :) Good pictures too - interesting project :)

You ask away - as you've seen, if nothing else questions will create a bit of banter on here :rolleyes:

Oh yeah, and the only stupid question is the one you don't ask ;)

Haha, sorry, i wonder how many new doors could be made for series vehicles out of a few hippos.
 
It is as it came out of the shed

Thanks for the wellcome guys, l forgot about the hammers I think I have a set of series three somewhere .
I checked oil put a battery on and it turned over so bled it after finding it had nearly a full tank and to my surprise it fired up .
I was told the clutch was seized but I decided to change master and slave cylinder with pipework, ,,,,,,,,,,clutch works fine.
I have no brake lights and one indicater not working,a drip on the diesel pump and only a handbrake .
Fun days ahead
 
Impressed its in such good nick..and a few minor problems. some fun days ahead and a few headaches though and a million and one surprises you weren't expecting !!
It is a landrover after all! Nowts straightforward
Have fun and see you around
