    Parallel glow plugs

    One of the kits comes with a diagram. Sadly I can’t remember which one. I’m not even sure the choice is there anymore. Britpart seem to have cornered the market.

    Yes. But not until it’s finished and been on the weigh bridge. 😳

    As I took the time to make it, spoze I’d better put a photo up of it.

    Don’t think so. Must have been a shortage of age related cars to dot about on set.

    Buying my first ever Series 1

    The biggest bit they don’t make anymore is the chassis. Make sure it’s serviceable. It’ll be a constant job keeping everything going on anything this old. Even aluminium.

    Historic Vehicle Status

    I didn’t chase anything for mine. I got my road fund reminder, went on the worltiweb to pay and they asked me if I wanted to tick a box for HVS and MOT exemption. That was it. No post office visits or form filling.

    Series 3 Heater Pipes, spare parts numbers - or selfmade

    Isn’t there only one on a 3. I think the go to is copper. Just a single 90 degree bend from memory but you will need a P clip to fasten it to the centre rocker cover nut.

    THAT circlip on the primary shaft

    If it was me, and I’ve never done it, I’d cut three narrow wedges. Pop the ring on top of the splines and open it up by tapping the wedges into the splines. Once on the splines it should tap down.

    Which Diff to upgrade to ??

    Always been an issue in my head of pimping up a series with engines and chit when the bleedin things were never very safe at original speeds. Must be me getting old and miserable.

    605934 rear step help

    I have the plate snd hinge off an original that I fancied butchering onto the back somehow but I’ve never got round to it. I was going to drill a bar for the tow ball bolts like a modern one. Another job for another day.

    1974 series 3 dashboard retrim advise

    Your not going to be able to buy materials at approximate sizes. Upholstery fabrics are generally sold in yards, short yards or meters. For a dash top your likely going to have to buy two yards but it will likely be a yard wide so plenty of scrap for other areas. I would strongly recommend...

    Series 3 SIII Diesel won't rev

    Could also be air. Remove filter hose at the manifold and see if it improves. As suggested check kill lever is open. Crack each injector pipe in turn to check flow to injectors. If no luck it’s on to checking full fuel delivery from tank to high pressure pump, pop test the injectors (you can...
