It has Pro Comp Shock all round. Not sure of the Model, I think 2000 or 3000 if that means anything... They are fat and have rubber boots at the bottom. I got very little info from the seller but it all seems more than adequate .

Hi I have just purchased a Russet Brown and Limestone 1982 County Safari SWB Station Wagon, Petrol with very little history and wondered if any previous owner is on the forum. Great old beast which I AM really pleased with and proud to own and restore. I am intrigued, as are others, at the...

Well the car came from Glasgow but the owner was something to do with young people and adventure trips. HE had the car for a few years but I think it has had only two or 3 owners from new. I will do a separate posting asking for any infomation and giving the reg number,XWK 733 X PERHAPS A...

Since I last wrote I have noticed that the near side lower cylinder has commenced leaking. WHen I looked it was very slightly wet but not dripping or on the linings, today whilst beneath sorting the exhaust I noticed a staining on the n/s tyre and low and behold a small dew drop hanging on the...

It's an 88" of 1982 County spec. am quite pleased with the ride having had a 1980 LWB before which was a bit harsh. It pased it's French MOT so can't be too much of a bodge up. The top brackets are fabricated professionaly so I suspect it could have been a proper conversion. I will get some...

Hi All checked and spot on. It has a Luminisions electronic ignition so no points, timing spot on and steady. I have done some more today including removing the carb and checking the butterfly for play plus attaching the choke cable correctly. I used a colour tune to reset the mixture and...

No not a home build as the top of the springs are correctly mounted in Brackets and a, I asssume, anti tramp or torsi bar fitted across the rear top to top. The lower part of the springs are correctly located in cups and secured. The rear shackels for the original leaf springs have been...

Yep looked at that and not the problem. All cyliders leak free, no fluid loss, all steering joints good and secure. I have found that if I park around the other way and it gets the weather on the opposite side, innitially, the brakes will pull to that side instead. The brakes on first...

I am about to re register my SWB S3 County Station Wagon 1981 Petrol 2 (2.25),and wondered if any one had a Conformity Certificate that I could have a copy of. I am sure it will not be required as there are plenty of Landys in this area but the French can be fanikity to say the least and I...
