    :) Yeah, the alternator was loose and the belt lost...

    Thanks for all the comments and advice! I talked to previous owner and he insisted it was a Disco gearbox. Anyway, first thing is to look into the air filter issue and then understand the all time 4-wheel drive CV issue. Besides that, the brakes seem to be a mess and need attention. Once again...

    On Wikipedia: "The Stage 1 was normally available only in LWB 109-inch (2,800 mm) form but 24 examples were built with the SWB 88 in (2,235 mm) wheelbase"

    It's a 5 gear shifter. I don't know the details of the conversion. There is quite some space under the bonnet, I'll check tomorrow for signs that the grille has been moved.

    That would be nice since AFAIK there were not many SWB fitted with V8 engine. I think it might just be the case as Turboman suggested. Someone fitted a 90s bonnet. I like the look.

    Hi there, I just purchased my first Series 3 and just realised that it looks not standard. The VIN " SALLBAAH1AA157034" states that it is a Series 3 4 Cyl. so it cant be a Stage 1, but it looks like it, except the grill. Can anyone here help me to identify this model? Thanks!
