That was very good. Thank you for sharing! P.

Brilliant. Thank you everyone. I'll take pictures and check if only one fan is working i'll get both working and go from there. As i don't really want to change the fans for a viscous fan unless I find my current set up really isn't up to the job. Thermostat removal is a good shout too. Do u...

Yes, very new to me. Got a feeling only one is kicking in. Will check that fully next. Cheers for all the advice and help. Much appreciated.

Cheers people. It has a separate gauge which works from a capillary sensor on the rad. And is calibrated for this engine apparently. It got to 100 deg by the time I finished my short journey on the A4 to get petrol and back probably 5 miles? Bit of traffic but nothing major. I thought I...

Think my RV8 from a defender is running too hot. What temperature should they run at? It’s got after market cooling fans and it’s in a series 3. Thank you P.

Thank you. I don’t have a f.b. account but I’m looking on eBay etc. Do you recommend the clutch claw? Any good?

I need the brand and the number on the tin if anyone knows coz I'm going round in circles on the...

I know it well. I was outside there today in fact. Happy travels!

My local is The Nelson just around the corner from the canal/ river. Pop in next time!

Thanks everyone. Yes I think it’s actually a RV8. I have the original 2.25 petrol in storage which is reassuring. The brakes are spongy. I need to lift the pedal and press again to get get good braking. They do brake in a straight line and no funny noises or weird feeling through the pedal, so...

Cheers yes. Bit of a worry. Any recommendations for securing an early series 3?. I don't want to go too mad but my basic steering lock is too generic and not very reassuring!

Hello After a lifetime of wanting one I now own my first Landy. It’s a very early series 3 88, fitted with a V8 from a defender. It hasn’t quite sunk in yet so all I’ve done really is take it for a spin and look at it quite a lot. It wee’d water on the way home but a new radiator cap sorted...
