    Series 2 Truck Cab Rear Window Fit?

    SP 4x4 does a complete set for rear windows. Perhaps worth having a look at?

    Series 3 Wipers dead, temp gauge dead, fuel gauge dead

    So, an interesting problem occurs intermittently with my 1977 88" SWB diesel. My wipers suddenly stop working (including the windscreen washer pump), together with the temp gauge and the fuel gauge. This is not much of a problem when it isn't raining, but when it is, and when you're cruising...

    Clutch and glow plug woes

    This post at Landrovernet.com is interesting. Apparently I am to get rid of the ballast resistor and swap the lamp. Okay, will do.

    Series 3 Rattling sound, black smoke, oil guzzling...

    So, after having reasoned with a better garage (and recommended fellow Swedish Landy owner not to patronise a certain so called authorised garage...), the best guess is still that pressure might be leaking through to the crankshaft casing, pushing oil through the crankshaft ventilation to the...

    Series 3 Rattling sound, black smoke, oil guzzling...

    OK, so, the garage ruled out piston damage or faulty injectors. That's good. Also, they ruled out any timing chain issues, the engine being a pushrod one (so, apparently, no timing chain?). Their best guess so far is that pressure is leaking through to the crankshaft casing, pushing oil through...

    Clutch and glow plug woes

    Recently, I replaced the old series wired ones with a parallell kit from Paddocks including a new ballast resistor following some sound advice. It works fine, but I have to glow the engine much longer before trying to start it. So, I had the garage check, and they claim the wiring is of the...

    Right. The smoker is in rehab (read: garage). Not looking forward to the diagnosis, but thanks everyone!

    Series 3 Rattling sound, black smoke, oil guzzling...

    Bugger. That was not what I wanted to hear, but thanks anyway! :( I tried to check out your Youtube link, but it seems it has been removed. You don't happen to have it somewhere so I could listen to it? The thing is though, the garage has had the top off, so they would definitely have spotted...

    Series 3 Rattling sound, black smoke, oil guzzling...

    Sometimes, my 1977 S3 diesel 88" truck cab pulls off a spectacular show. While driving, a slightly hammering/rattling sound is suddenly heard from the engine and the car starts to smoke like a Russian tank on smokescreen duty. The smoke is blueish/whitish, wrapping the countryside in smoke, but...

    Radiator.

    Got a new one from Paddocks last month, but haven't got a clue if it is Britpart or Bearmach. Judging by previous posts, I expect it to be a Britpart. Anyway, the garage fixed it in an hour and it works brilliantly.

    Series 3 Buckle up, please - do I have the safety harness anchorages required?

    Thanks guys. There is only one way to do it... buying the stuff and trying it out!

    Series 3 Floored selector rod...? Transmission wind-up? FWH's?

    Thanks guys. The garage did test it off-ground, and the FWH's did work as intended, so it seems that the wind-up issue has been avoided. I am probably still stuck with the original issue though, i e the gearbox "stuck" in 4WD. To make sure that nothing happens to the FWH's or shafts, I make sure...

    Series 3 Buckle up, please - do I have the safety harness anchorages required?

    Thanks! Yes, that's one anchorage point, the bottom one, and that is as far as I could figure out. But I also need the anchorage points for the top and for the stalk, hence the other photos.

    Series 3 Buckle up, please - do I have the safety harness anchorages required?

    On my Landy Series III, truck cab/pickup, diesel, 1977, I seem to have factory fitted anchorages for harnesses. I am thinking of getting the static lap and diagonal belt thing from Paddocks, but I am not sure they will fit. Please see the images below. From left to right: IMG 0072: The sticker...

    Series 3 Floored selector rod...? Transmission wind-up? FWH's?

    The garage fitted a new spring to the selector rod, since the old one was.... gone. The thing now works as intended, as in popping back up when I shift from H to L and back. But, I still don't think the 2WD/4WD works as intended. The solution was to fit freewheeling hubs... and ignore the...

    Series 3 A creative day in 1977 causes confusion 39 years later

    Just thought I'd get back on this one - all sorted, but the garage moans about the brakes jamming... haha, but it is their business to sort. Thanks all for your help!

    Series 3 Smokes like a chimney - carburettor advice please

    Here's an informative page on exhaust smoke from a fellow Series 3 owner: http://www.seriesdiesellandrover.com/exhaust smoke.html Edit: just realised he owns a diesel... hahaha. My bad! :D

    Series 3 Floored selector rod...? Transmission wind-up? FWH's?

    The selector rod of my car is floored and floppy. It won't pop back up when I shift between 2WD and 4WD, and has never done so during the very short time I have owned my Series 3 88" truck cab diesel. The previous owner said it "had always been like that", but he had free-wheeling hubs fitted...

    Series 3 windscreen washer bottle and cap

    Thanks, I have dropped them an e-mail. I tried a German company, car-parts.com or something, but they were out.

    Series 3 windscreen washer bottle and cap

    Thanks guys, this is all nice and well... :) But my question was actually if anyone knows where and how I can get hold of what I need!
