    Anyone know a Land Rover specialist in West London?

    Good luck! I seem to have something happen which sounds slightly similar, have twin tanks, been told maybe change over valve is allowing air in to the fuel system :/

    Hi NowayPedro! Hope you're good. I'm based in Ealing, just wondering if you'd used those guys in the garage Turboman suggested - do you have a contact number at all? I've just got a series three, and would love to have a back up / go to person or place!

    Confused by fuses!

    Just a little note to say thank you both for all your help - fuses bought and fitted and we have life!! indicators, windscreen wipers, lights (but one spot needs a bulb, and by the looks at what bulb came out (24v 70w) I guess its a 24v : /

    Hello all - newbie Series 3 Lightweight owner!

    Not really sure yet... I think it's been converted to 12 - the batteries don't seem to be connected, and it has a winch. Another question I didn't ask when I was going gooey eyed looking at, rather than thinking with my head! (that approach might also explain why I'm a single dad! 🤣)

    Hello all - newbie Series 3 Lightweight owner!

    Thank you everyone for your kind words! Means a lot 😍 I'm currently going through the 'wtaf have i done / i utterly love it' stage! 🤣 That air filters weird isn't it! Pizza over/ coffee machine!

    Hello all - newbie Series 3 Lightweight owner!

    In (what I thought was a genius move) bought it as it's ULEZ exempt! (unlike my old mazda bongo!) well. done. me! But, just realising that the money I'm probably/ excitedly going to spend on it is going to out weigh that! not. so. well. done. me!! 🤣 Purists don't hate me, a 1972, same age as...

    Confused by fuses!

    Have ordered 10 of the 8 and 25 amps from the link you shared, so will replace them all. I have a sneaky feeling I might have blown the fuses in a friendly fire incident - tapping around the dial panel with a screw driver - i tapped the hole in this pic and it crackled 😬. Not sure what should be...

    Thank you both for your help today, really appreciate it - looks like 3 have blown - 2 x 8 amp and 1 x 25 amp - have attached (hopefully) better pics - did you say they look continental? It was in the Dutch Army a long time back Also had another look at the battery, doesn't look like the 24v...
