Hello, i was having a look over my series 3 today and noticed that both the front axel swivels seam rather pitted and the diver side, looks worse (see pics) seams to have been leaking for a while Does anyone know what the best cause of action is, can you get them re-coated or just buy new...

Thanks for that, i thought it may be something like that. I thought it strange to have all 4 shot. Ill check the resistance.

That's what i thought, glow red i was hoping for but nothing happened

i know this should be stupid question but: i removed the glow plugs from my 1978 diesel landy as it was not starting very well, that said it has been sitting for 8 years. I tested then using jump leads, negative onto the body of the plug and positive on the top. Nothing happened. The reason...

Hello, I have a 1978 series 3 which has sat for a very long time, i'm just in the process of getting it ready for MOT and i have two questions of the glow plugs. Firstly, how does the glow plug operation work? do they come on just with the ignition (i.e. stage 1) or is it a case of holding the...

Hello, I have recently brought a series 3 which has been sitting for about 8 years. I think it would be best to replace all the brake shoes and wheel cylinders as they are likely to leak when pressure is applied. I had a look today and it seams like you need to drop the front king pins to get...

thanks for the info, 7.50 seam the way to go, i will keep searching. out of interest, i pulled the rear brake drums off today, one was fine, the other was full of oil. i guess that the half shaft seal has gone, are they easy to replace? I've done them on Scannia trucks but not on a 3 series...

Hello, I have recently brought a 1978 109, im in the process if prep'ing it for MOT. Its been sitting for 8 years so needs a bit of work. My question is: the tyres which are on it, 6.50 x 16c while having loads of tread on have cracked side walls so no good for road use. I have been looking at...
