It's a shame exmoor trim don't make the rope thicker. You could try some insualtion tape or heat shrink around the rope to plug the eyelet.

I'm not sure if it will help what you have explained, but after a few times of getting wet the whole hood shrinks by about 2%. This then causes the whole hood to become taught and fit snugly.

Have you seen any fitting videos? Here's an exmoor trim one

The wiring behind the binacle on mine was in bad condition. It has been replaced with a main wiring harness from auto sparks. I would bite the bullet and get one.

I would have bought a plastic tank if available. Stainless or aluminium were too expensive. The steel tanks are like the chassis, they rot inside out. Is a plastic tank any more likely to get punctured off roading?

I had to replace the broken corner caps before the U- clamps could secure the rear stick.

I hadn't thought of fitting a filter before the pump, just got the one going to the carb.

The carb kept getting blocked on an incline and the issue was clearly a rusty fuel tank. Draining it didn't help and it was also missing the brass gauze filter on the pick up pipe. I wish I replaced it sooner, the petrol looks a lot cleaner in the inline fuel filter now.

Thank you, they have a good selection on there. Exmoor trim did get back to me and advised me on the parts needed. The parts are 3 strips of metal that go into pockets on the hood, 2 vertical and 1 horizontal.

You've had some great adventures already.

I recently had this issue of bad running after an incline. It turned out to be dirt from the rusty fuel tank blocking up the carb jets. The weber fuel filter didn't stop a large chunk ending up in there.

Good afternoon Landy Zoners, im refitting an exmoor trim 3/4 tilt on an 88" truck cab. I have all the old fittings except for the fastenings/brackets to attach on to the goal post rear window rain channel. I've contacted Exmoor trim, but I'm not hopeful of a reply anytime soon. Their website...

Have you checked the timing? I have no faith in the Zenith copies after having issues with mine.

Welcome to LandyZone and congratulations on a lovely series 3. I became an owner of a series 3 earlier this year and the forum has been invaluable. If you don't know when the the ignition parts were last replaced, you might need to think about changing them. Coil, spark plugs, leads and...

Just to follow up with this, I found another wiper/washer switch and removed the green switch to swap with the dud.

I thought there's just 4 circular rubbers pads for the wheel to sit on.

Great little shop. Prices have Increased a lot. I thought there might be a source for the green coloured switch on the end. I think they were used on minis too.

Does anyone have a source for the switch? Mine has has started working intermittently.

Now sold. Ill go back to static belts for now. I had another look at the cabin and it's too tight to fit.
