I did look but couldn't find an answer.. Anyone recommend spats for my S3? I have some for a defender but they don't seem to fit cheers

Thanks for your replies. Tricky now, one says its welded up and thats ok, another says will need replacing..there will be quite a cost involved in replacing all that (not huge but significant) - anyone else reckon it needs replacing? I want to do the right thing, but no point buying all...

Ah, I cant see any other seals so perhaps removed as you say. In which case, is it a new sub axle?

Phew! Thanks for that, its a defender axle tho.. Here is a close up of the oil seal surface

Hi Folks. Im not entirely new to spanners but am new to Land Rovers. My truck failed the MOT on a rear hub seal so Im getting on with the learning. I found that that the rear half shaft seems to be fudged at the end, or is it a cap of some description? Only way to get the flange off was to...

Thanks v much for that, Ill pester you more when I find a lump...:)

Hi Folks. My 2.5petrol runs sweet and pulls well but the mpg is of course outrageous. Ive been offered an MOD overhauled 2.5 n/a from a mate whos just swapped his out for a TDi. He wants £200 for it but thats with rad, hoses etc, all things forward of the gearbox. Im not interested in power or...

Hi Folks Im slowly getting to grips with my Rover and loving every minute. I was reliably told the lump in there is a 2.5 n/a petrol but the original was a 2.25 (its an S3 on a modified 90 chassis). BUT... looking at the serial number (11H*****) this seems to suggest its still a 2.25 (2.5s have...

Thanks for the diagram. Listen, Im still learning what things like the letter E means on the fuel guage - in my other cars, E = 40 miles left. It appears in the Rover, E = well, empty - how novel. Twice now Ive had this lesson and yearned for hazards. So yes, and thats not accounting for actual...

Id be grateful for some guidance there, Im quite handy. cheers Hey, Im a newbie....LOTS to learn lol

2 stupid questions on my S3: I dont appear to have a hazard warning switch - I guess this is normal? If so is there a general fix/ mod? My doors dont align to the rest of the body, seem to sag a bit, can they be adjusted...... :o

Ok, so no prob to go metric in alot of places then, phew.... Newbury, Berkshire Im no welder..yet..but I have guys around me in my bike club who cant see for arceye, they may come in useful....lol

Thanks all for your replies, Im looking forward to getting stuck in. Rear cross member looks in bad shape but its off to the local 4x4 LR specialist tomorrow for a free overall inspection and advice session. I will be replacing everything is stainless too, but are the bolts mostly nutted...

Hi. This is either the start of a very long thread, or a short one..I cant find all the answers so throwing myself at your mercy!..... Firstly, I know nothing about these vehicles but Im handy and capable, this is my first LR and you gotta start somewhere!... My Rover has rot on the side...

Hi Mark Thanks very much for posting the picture, thats really encouraging. Im hoping to land the rover some time in April so will take the LPG project further then cheers

Hi, yes, the petrol. Thanks for your response, thats really useful. A mate says itll take up too much room in the back but I guess thats the price you pay! Tinley is a couple of hours from me but thatd be a worthy trip. Thanks again

A bit of everything!

In my other thread Ive been told (thanks Dr P) that its easy to stick an LPG kit on the 2.5. I could work out how to fit it but how do I cost one? cheers Bunker

yes I think thats the way forward, my only reservation is the engine, and its got the original gearbox etc too so cant even slide a TDi in without changing all of that (apparently). not sure ther'll be any profit in it but will be a cheap intro into the Land Rover world... Heres a pic from a...

Having decided to pull the plug on this, I am now once again in 2 minds..... Firstly lets deal with the Admin side. He has it insured with NFU as a 'Land Rover - Other' on a policy which is covers all the modifications, so no insurance problems there. It is still registered as a S111 and...
