Hi Bill, Im also from Colchester Just bought a series 3, after a few years break from Landys

Not too bad, 1 tyre, a bit of welding on an outrigger, new brake shoes and 1 brake cylinder to replace, failed smoke test but today ive changed oil, oil filter, fuel filter drained sedimenter and she barely smokes now so hopefully will put the old girl back in this week and get a pass.

Thanks for you're help everyone, when i took the gauze out the oil bowl was empty except for some almost solidified black oil in bottom the gauze was so crudded up with brown sticky stuff i had to soak it in brake cleaner for hours and keep blowing it out with an airline now its like new with...

Ok thanks engine oil it is then

Ha Ha. Thanks

Ive done that aswell, this isnt a good start

Ok well ive had a break from Landys for about 10 years after owning a series3 2 1/4 Diesel, 3500 V8 range rover, a 110 defender and a 200 TDI disco. Ive just bought a 1983 Series 3 88" which im currently working through the jobs that need doing before the MOT.

I didnt realize i was posting an intro i thought it was just a regular post.

I have just cleaned out the sludge and remaining oil from the metal gauze Air filter and oil bath, but i have been told at Landrover parts centre to refil with EP90 but in Haynes manual it says to use engine oil. Does it matter?
