Bumping an old thread here... Okay, so just as Dolores's owner states, you usually don't want to admit you have a knackered engine. However, I do, and the reason is obvious, as explained in the photos. So, make sure you service your vehicle as advised by Land Rover (by which the risk of loose...

Congrats. I wish you all the best with the new adventure, you'll soon be bald and in despair like all the rest of us Series owners! Any Series owner is full of advice and stories of joy and woe. Here are a few ideas: Get the official owners' handbook and the relevant parts list for your model...

Norrie, which proportions do you use for paint/thinner?

Bumping an old thread here... Paddocks sells this matting system (£489.95). I assume it is the same stuff sold by Exmoor Trim.(£456). Steamwally fitted this system. Restosaga gives his view here. Fraser gives his version here. Has anyone had it fitted? Does it actually work? Will I still...

Paddocks has this bulkhead, but I really do not understand if it is galvanised and then painted, or... It says "manufactured with zinc coated steel. Etched primed and sealed". What does that mean from a technical point of view? That it is cheap crap, or...? Anyone with experience of the...

Get well soon!

Swapped one of the side lights today and got the cables mixed up. No, I am not colourblind, just daft and tired after a long day at work. Smoke and heat ensued, but I managed to stop it in time before I buggered up anything else. Now sorted, and oh how bright things turned out to be! However...

Thanks guys! However, the servo works fine, so I am not going to do anything with it... unless necessary. :)

Looking great, Norrie! :) Keep it up!

...what's the indicated (circled) thing for, in the enclosed images? Yes, I know, I should know, and the knowledge is probably out there, but... over to you.

Do you happen to have the article numbers, or URL's to the brackets, nuts, bolts, etc?

The hedgehog is a crimp connector earth thingymabob. The centre hole in the bottom is where you screw it to the chassis. The "spikes" of the hedgehog is where you fit the crimp connectors. The Lucas bullet earth connectors weren't really playing anymore, so I added that one instead.

Well, SWMBO prevents me from doing that, so I am being the perfect gentleman, explaining what it is instead. Had it been in my pre-SWMBO days, I would probably have said "Yeah, it is, fancy a ride?" ;););)

Well, if someone had asked, back in those days when the first LR diesel went into production, if it could be run on chippy oil, I am pretty sure most people would have had a laugh! :D But, even Mythbusters has had a go at it. Like the rest of the thread posters so far, I do have my sincere...

Last summer, I swapped my original 1977 rear indicators and lights for their Britpart, India-made replacements. One of the rear lights was knackered right from the start, because of some ham-fisted native fitting the bulb. However, for £2.96, it wasn't a big deal to order a new one. Everything...

Oh, it does. They usually come up to me and tell me I've got a cool Jeep. :mad:

I have long since given up trying to justify anything regarding my Landy. But SWMBO has a horse, which is a financial black hole, so thankfully, spending £££ on my stuff isn't an issue. ;)

When I got my Landy, it was on 235/85 R16 broad wheels. 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...

I got a new AVM pair from LR Parts (24 spline, but LR Parts also do 10 spline) in 2016. They do their job nicely, which is to be expected with that price tag! LR Parts seems to be cheaper than Bearmach.

If the Series Parts Catalogue, page 2G05 (last page!) is anything to go by, the 395459 front apron panel top seems to be attached to the 347955 radiator grille panel with a total of two 78796 special screws (0,25" UNC x 0,5"), two WM600041L spring washers and two 3900L plain washers. The front...
