Looks great. Good job.

The service guide was useful. I do most of those things, but it's a good reminder of what I keep putting off! Thanks for posting.

Hi there I had a very annoying and peristent misfire in my 2.25 petrol. I can share with you what was done to solve it. I checked everything I could but in the end I took it to a Land Rover specialist to have a look (Howe Engineering in Hertfordshire)...He set the timing using a strobe (which...

Undercover covers. Good quality, recommended by many (including me - I bought a hood for my SWB last year). The website is pretty useless, but they are very helpful if you call them.

There's a nick on the engine side of the pulley. I have a 1974 Series 3, and it has three or four different fixed pointers. You only have one pointer? It was difficult to see the nick, and I can't see it without a powerful workshop light. I set the static timing to what I thought was 6 degrees...

Sounds like you may have...I assume you’ve checked all seals/connections to make sure the cylinder has been properly installed. I installed the same cylinder last year and I thought that it seemed fairly well put together.

I applied a couple of coats of POR-15 to the rear crossmember of my Series 3. Pretty straightforward, although a lot of steps and drying time. Hopefully the masking tape will come of ok!

Thought I’d share a positive end to an annoying misfire that my 1974 S3 has been suffering from for probably a year or more... I had focussed on the distributor, as this seemed the most likely culprit. Checked and set points gap (many times), put in a new condenser, checked and set static...

I checked the oil in the overdrive, main and transfer boxes today (the things you do on a day off from work!). Overdrive and main just needed a top up, but the transfer box, though ‘full’ was so black I decided to do a full change. No real dramas to report, now I’ve realised the best way to...

Hi there I am six foot four and drive a Series 3 with de luxe seats. I removed the sun visors and now I have no problem with seeing through the windscreen. I assume you've done this? Otherwise, I guess you'll need a thinner seat base. Good luck.

Yes, it is a slightly odd place. They couldn't find the new inner tube they said they had, but fitted a second hand one that they could find. It seemed robust enough. Time will tell!

Hey, good luck. It looks like you’ve got a good basis for a great series 2 (though I haven’t seen the chassis!). Look forward to following progress.

Anyone know why I cannot see any of the photos in this thread? All I can see are icons with a red cross?

Well, I went to T and J tyres in Shelford, and they replaced the inner tube. I've kept the old one, thinking I could repair it and keep it as a spare. The guy at the tyre place said this would be fine. Is this a good idea?

Thanks for all the replies. The tyre place I’m going to says that they have the “fat valve” inner tube which seems to match what I have. I will find out tomorrow!

Photos of the offending article...

And another.

Another pic. It’s taken me a while to upload another photo but here it is.

Well, I’m not exactly sure where it happened. I had driven along a rutted byway for a while, was then driving along the road and could smell burning....took me a while to realise that the rear tyre was flat.

And the dog, who accompanies me on most trips in the Land Rover.
