    Series 3 - tyre options on 16" disco 1 rims

    I've looked but can't see anything. I'm aware of the dates as I have TVR's and always end up scrapping tyres before they are fully worn. The first 2 digits are the week and the last 2 are the year and the tyre life is 5-7 years max as the rubber goes hard - not so bad on a truck but not great...

    Series 3 - tyre options on 16" disco 1 rims

    Truck is in for gearbox rebuilt and he told me to put bigger profile tyres on it which will 1) fill the arch better and 2) help with my speedo as with 3.45 diffs i'm showing as doing 30mph but really at about 40 actual Currently have 235/70/16 with 2 rears showing cracks and as I've no idea of...

    Series 3 Flasher Relay

    I'd rewire it first and then see how you get on. I just renewed the tow bar connections via a Rubbolite box (all were green and furry and/or corroded but all seemed to work other than either indicator) and the feed from the front of the truck is a bit tight, almost impossible. I renewed some...

    Series 3 Selectro Free Wheeling Hubs

    I now you can get repair kits for the AVM's but not sure on the Selectro hubs. There is a used one on e-bay at the minute in Germany.

    Lights on buzzer

    Finally sussed it after looking at conflicting wiring diagrams. I just used the relay (NC not NO) and binned the attached wired holder as I couldn't get it to work so connected everything temporarily until it worked. Anyway 86 pin is to earth (you can put the buzzer earth is here too), 85 pin...

    Dash binnacle - brass nuts (i know they aren't nuts)

    Found 2 suppliers local to me so may drop one down to see if I can get a match. Need to check the dash now as the one I want is attached to a long bolt which isn't in the dash but on the floor, the other one is still in the dash, so not sure if the holder is still there or broken...

    Dash binnacle - brass nuts (i know they aren't nuts)

    I'm after the brass bush/thing that the 2 dash binnacle studs (1/4" UNF by 1/2" long) secure into. Anyone know what the part number is or where I can get one as one side of mine has an oversized bolt in it which has seized solid and I need to put the dash back together so I can get the gearbox...

    series 3 ignition barrel replacement with steeringlock

    the barrel should be easy enough to wire up as there is a sequence which each turn on the key, ie the first is usually auxilliary and the last turn which should then click back to the previous is starter motor. If its diesel there will be one point which the glow plugs will be warming. Should...

    Side step bolt required

    Seems an obvious answer but why did LR use a 19mm hex in the first place?

    Side step bolt required

    Bought some Defender steps for the SIII and the bolts on the hinge are corroded up and I'd like to replace them, ideally with stainless. The bolts are M8 by 35mm long but have a 19mm head which for M8 is normally 13mm. I've tried searching but to no avail, but maybe i just don't know their...

    series 3 ignition barrel replacement with steeringlock

    Disconnect the battery before you start just in case. My barrel is on located on the dash so easy (too easy for tinkers) access. I'm going to change mine too as it takes a certain technique to get it to work plus only one key and getting another key cut isn't too different to a new barrel...

    Bonnet spare wheel staple for strap - part number 335772

    RRC3966 below. The larger one (335772) is the one I've removed before I cleaned the 200 layers of black and drab paint off the bonnet, now 1/2 the weight!! [

    Bonnet spare wheel staple for strap - part number 335772

    Thats for part number RRC3966 which is about half the length of the one I'm after, just a mini version. I've got 4 of them (RRC3966) now as the site I bought from had RRC3966 as superseding the part I wanted but they've now changed the website as it clearly isn't.

    Bonnet spare wheel staple for strap - part number 335772

    It is but no stock anywhere. The bonnet I bought only had 2 with holes for the 3rd - thought it would be easy getting a spare but obviously not. Cant use the spare wheel strap with only 2.

    Bonnet spare wheel staple for strap - part number 335772

    Thought I'd found some at Land Rover Parts Group but although they list them on the website and I'd gone through to payment and order confirmation, they then contacted me to say they didnt have any. Very frustrating.

    Bonnet spare wheel staple for strap - part number 335772

    Converting a Series 3 Station Wagon to a canvas top with spare wheel holder on the bonnet. Bought a spare military bonnet (with the military bonnet holder catches as the front panel has been cut so doesn't have the bonnet pin striker option) but only have 2 of the spare wheel strap staples with...
