    Question about the ignition on a Series III

    leave in middle if you turn to the left so that charge light comes on then your battery isn't charging and some of your other electrics may be turned off. if you want to turn the plugs on you would have to turn the key and hold it as you do at starting.

    Question about the ignition on a Series III

    on mine the key springs back so that the plugs are off, yours should be the same. turn key to activate electrics, turn to just before the point where the starter kicks in and hold for desired time, if your cold start warning light is wired into the plug circuit that will light up when the plugs...

    Series land rover transmission lock

    £280, that's more than mine is worth :D too expensive imho, as said a valuable landy would just be lifted onto a truck they have been lifted over fences etc, there are many cheaper ways of deterring the passing opportunist
