    A recent Land Rover series convert

    I have no idea! looks a bit like a sender for a gauge of some sort, do you have any extra gauges? [although I can only think of vacuum being read from there.....................] Attached [wired?] to the coil? Landy never had LPG conversion did it? could be remnants. No doubt someone more...

    Classic No heating, turning into a frozen mess

    Definitely not overheating? As you no doubt know, heater runs cold when engine is boiling! Good luck

    Eventful evening

    110's are betterer! Actually they are, thicker chassis, slightly better build etc. Less common which is nice [if you like that sort of thing] But still constant work..................................

    Italian 88 Series III - Should I or Shouln't I?

    Excellent English and nice Avatar - welcome. I would suggest do not try to start it, just take off rocker cover and turn engine over by hand, that way you'll know it's not seized and no stuck valves. Explain that more work needs to be done before you can try to start it and offer 400 euros or so...

    Newbie needing advice

    Buy one for him now so he owes you because by the time he's 17 they'll possibly be out of his reach.............. I'd suggest an early 110 rather than Defender, [I'm biased as that's what I've got] but prices are still [relatively] low on 110's - good luck, ps. yes truck can be hard top and visa...

    What is this?

    Running out of wisdom now! Try just looking up chassis numbers rather than the decode gadget. These people look interesting http://www.emlra.org/

    What is this?

    Looks like you've got a goodun - decode the chassis number, it'd be interesting to know what you've got. Good luck,

    What is this?

    AH! We're diesel yes? in which case ignore most I've said! Although it's looking so clean and tidy I reckon if it was an FFR it's had plenty of conversion [like possibly petrol 24v to diesel 12v] check it's chassis number to see what it left the factory as. Has it got overdrive?
  15. waldamar

    What is this?

    Possibly/probably it's been converted to 12v - should be 2 batteries linked for 24v, a sodding great dynamo [really HUGE] all bulbs 24v etc and your ht leads and distributer cap look weird, as do your spark plugs. HT leads are kind of woven metal stuff - all easily noticeable if still there, oh...
  16. waldamar

    What is this?

    Oh yes! so whilst mileage maybe low - hours may be astronomical! you ought to have [but not certain] no middle seat, but a really nice battery box, two batteries, 24 volt, HUGE alternator/dynamo and lots of other whacky stuff like shielded ignition etc.
  17. waldamar

    What is this?

    Is it ex military by any chance? FFR [fitted for radio] that throttle was used to run dynamo for best voltage while stationary - does it work?

    Engine conversion on 3 series landrover

    Obviously it's yours, and rightly still a free country but number one question is why? Original S3's are coming up in value, a more modern, smoother, more powerful engine will be nice but you're still on leaf springs and drums - in short it's still a Series! Keep it original, spend conversion...
