I do like SU carbs but there it isn't a cheap conversion and they can miss-behave on really rough terrain, hence the Stromberg's on V8 in place of su used in road cars I got the body/throttle housing from J. Richards surplus it wasn't cheap but came complete with throttle shaft, butterfly and...

Having read loads of useful stuff in here regarding zenith carbs i decided to buy new old stock lower body and refurb the rest rather than buying complete chineeseum copy, result is better idle and cleaner pickup.

i cannot imagine why the new one has no thread as it is designed to be adjusted when pump is rebuilt and is retained by a horseshoe shaped spring clip, it should just click as you turn it. what part of the country are you in

are you asking about the "alloy" wheel which adjusts the pre-load on the boost spring?

see here Injector pump banjos-fuel pump banjo unions Land Rover 200tdi and 300tdi enigne - Bing video

i cannot remember if 300 tdi had it but many bosch ve type pumps had an ordinary banjo bolt in the feed and a restricted one in the return in order to raise internal pressure. some howewver had an adaptor between the return banjo and the pump which contained the restrictor

If the return is the "pin hole" type and its in the feed you will have no engine revs and lift pump pressure will be high at filter

have you checked you have the feed and return unions the right way round on the FIP

Sorry if this has already been ansked but i cannot find answer. I want to replace the front door seals on my series 3 109 with later 90 /defender one piece type. The rivets holding the old seals on appear to noT only hold the seal but also fix two parts of the body together, do I need to...

Thanks for input. I agree with you megaman and will be changing the wiring to the inspection lamp socket.. I am tempted to cut the dash and put a hard wired usb socket in there but may "hide it" as my old 109 is pretty standard and unmodified

Welcome. Is that gearstick straight? Mine has a 45 degree bend at the bottom end like this.

Hi does anyone know where the earth (Black and red wire as per attached) for the indicator warning lights in a series 3 was connected originally

Does it drive if you lock the centre diff?

Have used studs in high power applications. Talk to these guys ARP Studs & Bolts | Engine Parts (UK) Ltd

I am looking to purchase a pair of interior door grab handles for my series 3 like those shown. Anyone got a pair for sale? now found supplier of new ones

I would ask em for a list of types they do approve

Not helpful for needles but I always use a dreadnought on bigger pieces it will give super smooth finish and will not clog

Welcome. The obvious solution is to buy 2

I am getting properly frugal now I have two land rovers to look after so I took the failed windscreen washer pump off my 109 cleaned the debris from the pump part polished the tiny commutator in the motor and it now works again. A tiny victory but it pleased me!

Welcome. Good choice of vehicle!
