Evening knowledgable folk. Slowly taking my spare engine apart to check all the bits that may need replacing and began removing the cam lifters and guides etc. Initially guide was stuck and came out after a squirt of oil…..and so did the follower leaving the roller sat on the cam lobe (it was...

Thanks Steve, Had it running so all works together. Found out it also has hardened valve seats and stainless exhaust valves to match - winner Rich

Just taking apart a spare 2.25, quick question but why are the valves different? My other 2.25 petrol (81 Reg so slightly newer) has all the same valve tops. Thank you

Just posted on fleabay for those military / green laning folk https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/315935267395?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=kBE3FOotQvu&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=kBE3FOotQvu&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

So the 25D won't work. I can't get a spark so I'm going to stick on a 45D which i know is working. I don't think this would be an issue swapping dizzys over would there? Thanks Rich

Good old Rover development :homer:

Thanks Kermit, on my 3 bearing currently sat in my Landy is a 45D dizzy. I’m not sure about the spare one but think it’s a slightly earlier 3 bearing - no engine number but with a 568750 head. Thanks

Hi all, i have a 2.25 3 bearing engine with a 25D Dizzy on. Can i change this with a 45D? Reason being is that i have a shed load of spares for a 45D. Thanks Rich

Sold******Sold******* Series 3 2.25 Petrol engine for sale.

Thank you it’s a 3 bearing for sale and mines a 3 also Rich

Good evening all, Quick question - would a series 2a 2.25 petrol fit straight into a series 3 (1981) petrol? I have an opportunity to get a used 2.25 petrol as a spare? Thanks Rich

All standard less for upgraded headlights (fitted with relays) and electric fan. Rich

https://pablanchard.co.uk/index.php?route=product/search&search=oil%20cooler will be a good starting point Rich

If your local to me I’m happy to have a drive out and help/advice? Rich - NG9 👍🏻

Sounds incorrect mate. Once the box is in just take off the rear plate on the transfer box and fit the overdrive in (after taking off the nut etc etc). Rich

Thanks mate - series 3 roof with the standard ribs on the top 🤔

Hi troops, are defender Alpine windows the same size as series ones? I’m going to fit some as I’ve always liked the look. Thanks Rich

Hi all anyone got a cubby box with cup holders they want to sell? Don’t need a new one just for my winter / shooting hack. Thanks Rich

I refurbished mine and sourced the seals and bearings online @simplybearings.co.uk Cheap and good quality.

Hi all, after a bit of advice regarding a series 3 indicator relay. I was fitting a hazard switch but the indicator relay in the Landy is a modern one with 3 terminals. One goes to an orange indicator light. If I replace with an original relay (2 terminals) they don’t work. Please see pic...
