Hello!
The series 3 just failed the MOT on a body to chassis mount at the front, the one just behind the mud flap where the body bolts into, i can't seem to find the thing on any of the diagrams i have, anyone got any ideas as to where i'd find it?

Thanks (again!)

The outrigger looks solid, its the bit on the end of it that the body bolts to, is this all one piece, it just looks like the bits the bolt goes through are separate parts? best way i can describe it is as a pair of parallel plates with a bolt through that appears to hold the body. It looks like its attached to the door post so is that the bulkhead too?
It'd be annoying if i had to have the whole outrigger replaced!

Ahh, bolts out i can do! It'l need cutting off by the look of it, totally nakered and rusted! weld, errm, NOPE! need to learn i guess It's me first land rover and i didn't realise how useful it would be! Got a decent welder at the local garage, not too expensive from what i can tell, welded the front legs for me no prob.

Just had a look in the ol haynes book, i found a diagram of the bulkhead and wots gone on mine is the bracket at the bottom under the door post, clear on the diagram (fig 12.4 in the book), the bit the tie bolt goes through. Could this be called a 'door pillar repair bottom bracket'? as any diagrams i have showing the outrigger dont include this bit!
Sorry just want to order the rite part cos its a bit urgent to get it done don't want to have to send bit back!
Thanks for the help!
