    I'm forming the opinion that the plates are wherever they felt like putting them that week.

    Series 3 Vehicle id plates - help needed.

    >>>The other's about 6x2-1/2 and I think that's the MoD plate. Says "TRUCK UTILITY FFR 3/4-TONNE-4X4" also has VIN and the old MOD reg on it. I found the matching holes! On the drivers side of the seat box, so it's in front of you when you open the door.

    Series 3 Vehicle id plates - help needed.

    Chaps/esses. I have a pair of ID plates that came off my ex- MoD FFR 109 Landy which is now fully reassembled. Is there a guide anywhere that shows where on the vehicle they should live? One's about 3x3 part no 5720 and has the VIN on it + "LAND ROVER UK LTD" and four lines saying 2760Kg...

    Series 3 Stupid handbrake lever

    Hi Team, The ****ing handbrake lever is now bruising my left knee. Who thought that was a good design? Are there alternative handbrake levers that can be fitted to an S3? Suggestions welcome.....

    Series 3 Urgent carb and timing advice needed.

    I've developed a mistrust of the Zenith in my short period of ownership..... I had similar issues to you that appeared out of nowhere; a forensic examination during rebuild showed nothing, yet upon rebuild, perfect running was restored....

    Series 3 Zenith 361V rebuild howto

    Well I stripped and rebuilt the carb. And the squeaky clean and blow through approach works fine! We now have a carb that behaves... What a ridiculously overcomplicated pile of cak the Solex/Zenith is though - give me an SU any day. Thanks for the input, team. :)

    Series 3 Zenith 361V rebuild howto

    I like the dip can approach, but alas no such thing here in the UK. Years back we used a mix of xylene, toluene and dichloromethane, ether and aviation spirit and ran the engine on that for a few minutes. Amazing stuff came out of the back..... So yes, in my case it's the squeaky clean and blow...

    Series 3 Zenith 361V rebuild howto

    Thanks for that.... It's asking a lot for a casting like that to stay flat - but mine doesn't seem too bad. The principal problem is it's had water through it and what looks like a significant quantity of very finely ground Iraqi desert.....

    Cos it's 'ARD - not at all girly. Mind you, you don't want a Landy interior to look like IKEA.
