    I recently had some cutting out issues at junctions, putting the choke on would stop the stalling. I looked at everything and it turned out to be loose bolts securing the Weber to manifold causing it to suck air. Sometimes it is often just simple...

    An in line filter needs to be placed away from the hot parts of the engine, many are mounted next to the carb which is poor as they get heated and cause problems.

    It does sound like heat is the issue, vapour lock? The weber carb kit comes with an inline fuel filter which sits directly over the manifold. If you have one I'd remove it even just fir safety reasons. 1. Check fuel tank isn't rotting from...

    When i bought my S2 they had practically no seal left so i would get a cold draft even when shut. I fitted new seals and found it hard to close them. Fitting new seals might remove any loose play.

    Replaced the series 3 shocks. The bushes had lasted well but the shocks gave zero damping. I can't say the new kit transformed the ride, it still feels like a leaf sprung series, but it does feel a little more predictable. Replaced the wing...

    Only One spring was found on the seletor, só that explained why it was hard to find first gear. Cleaned a bit (look at all that goo) and added a second spring i had around and seems much easier :)

    I agree with the chaps above regarding repairs. Do not be tempted with doing a complete strip down overhaul unless this is really your thing, so many are never finished. Keep as a rolling restoration and enjoy each fix/improvement done as you use it.

    Congratulations on your series 3. I've never seen a snorkle that big 😃. Make a list and get cracking. The first job I'd do is Inspect the chassis and get some protection on it.

    10 hour job on a lot of vauxhall cars, at £60 per hour. Makes a lot of vehicles beyond economic repair. It's one of the reasons I keep my Landrover.

    I thought that looked perfect for camping, canvas is doesn't sweat like modern tents. Exmoor trim advise periodically using Fabsil and It's satisfying watching the water bead off it.

    That will look great with a hood, mine is also a factory light green. Have you got the rear window goal posts? Exmoor trim sell the bits to attach the hood. Pricey, but it does make life easier have the correct parts ready.

    I think the main purpose is to reduce the crank case pressure preventing seals/gasket being damaged, venting it into the carb and reducing emissions. I think a faulty valve can upset the idle and running. There's a tiny bleed hole on the top...
