    Series 3 Getting the broken shaft out

    How have you broken 2? are you working it very hard??? If it were me I would take out the diff.....to look for metal fragments....you just push the broken end into the diff casing with a brush pole then.

    Timing by ear....

    Keep advancing till it pinks underload in top under 30 mph....or going uphill....engine starting to labour....once you get it pinking....retard a fraction till it stops pinking....thats it.

    Large Wing Mirrors Series

    I use the 90/110 type....good size....not to big....good convex coverage....fit on the top door hinge.....will fit on std hinge with a bit of fettling with a file.....never go out of adjustment. IMHO....fitting bigger than req mirrors cause a big blind spot in your 45deg forward vision.

    Series 3 Parabolic Problems

    A RR axle is quite a bit wider in track than a Series.....with std wheel the would protrude outside the body line.....and of course the maybe evidence were the RR fitting have been cut of the axle.

    Series 3 Parabolic Problems

    No Kiwi.....not talking about the in the U bolt mounting plate hole....you cant see this one when the axle is sat on the spring. Much more important.....on the top side of all of the springs is a round bolt head.....this round head has to sit inside a lug or hole on the flat mounting face on...

    Cold weather precautions

    TBH....if the heater plugs are ok....and the batt and starter motor are good it will start easy....I have had many years on 2.25d Landover use in cold weather. My tip....push in the engine stop....dont use any heat....fully throttle.....crank the engine over for 5 seconds. Stop....give it 10...
