    WhatPART RUINS MY DAY!

    Just setting out for the first road run of my new, 1955 land rover and the brake lights are stuck on. Why? because the Bloody awful blue box brake light switch I found in the workshop had fallen to pieces. I KNOW THEY DO THIS. why did I use it? we couldn't fix it... I am old enough to know...

    Is your Landrover a Car.

    Treat them like your mistress- get in them twice a day and caress their controls.

    Is your Landrover a Car.

    Vehicle is what they like to be called other than their name.

    Series 3 New Seat Box & Floor - Do I Seal??

    Yes. it needs isolating to prevent bi-metallic corrosion. the floor rots first.

    S3 Jumping out of gear

    Change the detent springs-cost very little-you might as well replace the balls- cost pennies but you are sure to lose one. probably ie most likely, you will need to rebuild the 'box- haggle some more.

    SERIES ONE WIPERS.

    it only had one motor fitted when I got it- on the passenger side. I think the springs may be an issue. thanks for advice chaps.

    Bugger to start......

    you will not find a leak on the low pressure side of the fuel supply- unless you pressurise it.

    SERIES ONE WIPERS.

    HI, I FITTED some s3 wiper arms and blades but the wiper motors don't have the strength to wipe across the screen... are the arms too much spring loaded for the motors or are the blades too grippy?

    Series 3 Series 3 Diesel coolant going green

    I would stretch a stocking over the funnel when I poured it back into the cooling system. Tip; give the stocking a rinse before you put it back in your wife's stocking drawer

    Series 2 is the 2.25 diesel reliable? Should I do a conversion?

    SWB diesel S3 towing 2 tons on M5, I got so slow that an artic not realising how slow I was, was forced to overtake on the hard shoulder. scary. fitted a ford transit 2.5di, no turbo but a really nice vehicle now-

    parabolic spring set up

    seen in real life and on ebay. a s3 with its rear end so high it was silly- rear shackles vertical. I suggested he undo them for a while....
