Well I've just got a Series 3 Truckcab 88" and its all very original apart from 12J engine fitted instead of Petrol. I was toying with the idea of keeping it as original as possible and putting a 3/4 tilt on the back as all the Galvanised metal work connecting to the cab is in place but the cab...

I am after a Sand coloured 3/4 tilt for my 88" cab mount type if anyone has one kicking about for some beer tokens I can pick up anywhere along the South of England reasonably quickly cheers Guys

Thats better at least the rain should have cleared by then :)

that sounds like two problems Yes it is the front UJ was totally shot and I think I have located another gearbox :) would it be worth reconditioning the one we take out as they seem to be getting very rare?

Will be passing your way next month (on a move to Scotland) tbh looking to replace like for like so would be interested in the scrap yards one

Series 3 gearbox needed presently running a 12J engine preferably anywhere along the South Coast of England so I can pick it up.

yes I thought so James could it be caused by a loose UJ as most of the noise "appears to be coming from the transmission brake" there seems like a lot of slop if that makes sense

may attempt that in a bit but could do with someone having a drive and pinpointing the problem

Ok well 3rd is shot doesn't even crunch runs well in 4th put the overdrive on and well bag of spanners springs to mind

As the title suggests anyone in Cornwall fancy a chin wag about fairey overdrives and series 3 landies? steep learning curve coming up! thought the 90 was a steep learning curve :o

Yup AVM a little tickle and some grips and they turned! now just got to sort another gearbox 3rd is non existent wonder if its got something to do with the overdrive?

Ideal well on that note I shall bid G'Night and thanks for your help

Is that good bad or indifferent?

Ah they've got a bar in the middle.

Thanks guys I'll have a look over them its got a Fairey overdrive would it follow the FWH are Fairey aswell?

Oh good question I'll have a look tomorrow didn't know there were different makes of them :o

Hi Guys and Gals just bought my first series with FWH but one will engage and the other wont! is there a way of freeing the stubborn one up? sorry if this has been covered before.
