Hmm..not found a weeny wire, not any loose or dangly ones anyroad. Looks like there are 4 going into back of alternator...all seem tight. Light still on, although did go off for 2 mins on way home last night...so suggests a short (?). Starts and runs fine..heating level is normal as always. Am i...

Hi Had a series 3 for 6 months now. Yesterday, after some 35 miles the charge light came on and has stayed on since, including on start up this morning. Any ideas? :confused:

Thanks Grippa....some useful tips though most posts referred to kids under 2...something i'm trying to put behind me...mine are 12 and 9, ..seems safest options are to spend £900 with exmoor or stumble across a minibus and 'borrow' a couple.

Apologies if this has been covered before (i did search - nowt) but the kids would like some rear seats. Should i go for the standard bench seat or invest in the high-backed inward facing (possibly folding) individual sort? Any advice most welcome and tips re fitting even more so. BTW never had...

Land Rover Series 3/Overdrive on eBay, also, Land Rover Range Rover, Cars, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 23-Mar-08 13:59:36 GMT) This looks like it will go for under a grand, mechanical bits attended to and a nice project for internal/external redec. It looks a bit 'wonky' on the head on shot...

Have just bought my first Landy, Series 3 88" 1983. Apparently all the 'ivory' bits (roof and rear side windows) come off easily to reveal a topless beauty for the summer. However I do have a full rear door. How easy is it to replace (temporarily) this with a stable door, or just a half door for...

Thanks redhand...very clear, if not as simple as i'd hoped. Already looking forward to losing traction and fighting with knobs and levers as i shout at the wife to find the piece of paper :)

So mid fifties is a good limit then? On the question of Red levers and yellow knobs would i be right that in practice you use 2WD high or 4WD low...in which case, leave the yellow knob UP and just select Red lever forward or back. [bet its not that simple :confused:]

Having just picked up my first Landy - 88" Series 3 [had to drive from gatwick to North Dorset last night!] this thread was welcome and the last post from michael was a cracker. I drove 150 miles never going over 52mph as the seller advised. [does not have overdrive] Is this a sensible limit for...
