The yellow branded versions are unobtainable now. As posted less is more and just fit plain Bly. The branded versions have a different fitting, a larger bracket which is shaped to fit the end of the crossmember. The plain versions are supplied with a shaped finish. The point being you’ll have to...

New thermostat? Don’t cost much.

This is an interesting threat. I’ve got a S3 83 petrol swb. It used to be a diesel. Since Changing to petrol and changing the sender unit it doesn’t read properly. I have Smiths dashboard, but it doesn’t have oil pressure/ temperature only water and fuel readings. It slowly reads inaccurate; if...

I’ve had two failures in the past 5 years. First was at the end of our track so it was an easy recovery. Two years ago it happened 14 miles away. I’d no option other than to drive home in four wheel drive (slowly). Despite that the rear offside drive bearing and assembly was trashed, metal on...

That’s rubbish life expectancy. I’ve got a 30 year old one. Used from April to September. I treat it each year with Grangers Fabsil, great stuff. I wouldn’t keep it on over winter outside it’s just too damp. Just spent yesterday getting the hardtop back on a right bugger of a job fettling the...

YRM Solutions. Check the website. Good quality.

Original seats are super comfy and good seating posture, deluxe is best. Keep originality.

750/17 will fit a SWB. This is the old designation. If you’ve got a Series then for originality that’s viable. As posted already they were standard on 109 but they make the SWB look better. Be aware that it’ll alter the gearing and the speedometer unless the Smiths speedometer has reference...

James is talking about the springs, specifically the. Hangers. There’s set heights determined by the torque settings. If they are worn the whole suspension will sage.

They didn’t offer anything like that back in the day and even if they did they’d be like hens teeth.

And clean the choke jet in the carburettor. What type? Blow the valve clean and remove any carbon crude.

Check out Craddocks or Paddocks but be careful when ordering as there’s a few variations. Best to look and then speak them. Paddocks usually cheaper.

Welcome. You can get S3 covers check online.

They’ve made them before it’s nothing new and that applies to the tractor too. Previous models were predictably OTT with really bad styling and huge engines.

You need to get a pdf copy of the workshop manual it’s got all the information on thread size as an introduction.
