    S3 indicator stalk/switches? Clean or replace

    Here is a selection of stalks... the price tags probably speak for themselves.

    Series 3 Block heater

    This is true, there's a lot of choice as such... but what I can use and what I should use are two very different things. If I, for example, take Old Smoky to the garage and tell them to put in a heater, they are most likely going to say that there is no way to connect a modern heater to the...

    Has anybody fitted the WS4x4 product?

    Series 3 Block heater

    Webasto is a top notch manufacturer (and the make they usually stick in buses up here...!), so I do believe that's a good suggestion. The price reflects the quality though, around £650 (fitting not included). With a power consumption of around 35 watts, taken from the car battery, it is actually...

    how do i change my series 3 washer jets

    I replaced one of two washer jets in 2017. Not looking forward to when the other one gives up. Why, oh why did I not do both at the same time? :mad:

    Series 3 Block heater

    So, Old Smoky is soon getting a new and shiny 2.25 diesel engine fitted. Since it can get a bit nippy up the khyber where I am (read: -25 during winter, and that's degrees C :D), I was thinking I could fit a block heater or something similar. Is it at all possible? If so, how? Any specific make...

    Series 3 Wright’s off road soundproof matting

    Here is how you fit Wright's version. Exmoor Trim produces something similar. And here is how Steamwally fitted Exmoor's version. Steamwally also analyses the benefits of soundproofing here.

    Series 3 Has anyone got a 2 1/4 diesel engine to spare?

    I am sure the garage will fix it, should it be an issue.

    Series 3 Has anyone got a 2 1/4 diesel engine to spare?

    Thanks to the amazing people at GroundZero4WD and Turner Engineering, this little cast iron baby was delivered earlier this week. :):):) Photo by GroundZero4WD.

    Series 3 Series slickshift

    Thanks guys! However, I am sure that we all, at times, fail to see the "charm" with a Series. To me, that usually happens when someone asks me how Old Smoky fares and I reply "ooo, it's running as smooth as a Jaguar", only to turn around and see half a Saudi Arabia worth of oil under it.... :mad:

    Tyres!

    When I got my Landy, it was on 235/85 R16 tyres. The car looked like a German Shepherd puppy with huge paws and was a nightmare to steer. Nowadays, my S3 sports Micheline Latitude Cross on new tubeless OE wheels. Great for spring-to-autumn use up here, and on-road, if you don't want to climb...

    Well, if you already have a Series, I am pretty sure driving your Fordson home would feel quite familiar... ;)

    Series 3 Series slickshift

    You might want to read a bit further down: "...improves gear change by reducing sloppiness and minimising travel, as well as neatening shifts giving smoother gear changes." "Minimising travel" is a slightly unfortunate term though... does it mean that I, like 70% of all Land Rovers ever made...

    Has anybody fitted a Series slickshift? If so, what's your thoughts on it?

    But yours does complain at times... :D

    Towing capacity

    Stupid question from ringside: is the tractor in working order? If so, why not get some other means of transport to the pickup place, and then simply drive it home? However, I am sure there is a perfectly good reason as to why you want to tow it, but I thought I would ask anyway... o_O

    Series 2 wiring harness

    Cheap label machine... That IS a brilliant idea. I will surely remember that whenever I decide to start Project Untangle, i.e. rewiring Old Smoky.
