Hi again, Apologies for the late reply! I had a look through the pictures from the link you sent wow, what an incredible amount of work you’ve done! Regarding the seatbelts, there’s nothing installed at the moment. In the summer, we’re planning...

If you want some more light reading the fire rebuild thread is here so you can fully understand the analogy: LINK and it has already had a galv chassis fitted previously. As yours is a hardtop fitting seatbelts should not be that difficult...

Hi folks, I’m completely new to mechanics and I’m hoping to get some advice on a strange issue with my Series 3. Here's what's happening, I recently got the car running and took it for a drive a few days ago. When I returned to the garage and...

Never a truer word spoken. They are completely unviable to keep running in my opinion if you are paying a garage every time something goes wrong. There is not really a better vehicle to learn on with the space, available spares, and support...

Good morning! Haha, love the analogy. I will have a look at the thread now. I actually bought the Landy on my son’s second birthday for “him,” with the idea of working on it together as a project when he gets older. He’s 2 and a half now and...

Absolutely. You need either very deep pockets, or the ability to do most of the work yourself.

I'm looking forward to getting my teeth stuck into it. I definitely couldn't continue paying labour rates.

Cheers!

Thank you for the great suggestions! I will have a crack at it after Christmas!

haha thanks!

It's still at the mechanics at the moment but I think it's from the fuel lift pump. cheers!

It's the 2.25 diesel.

Here are some pictures. I can’t wait to get her out on the road!

Good morning, folks. I bought a 1975 Series 3 88 a few months ago. At first I thought there were only slight problems with the brakes. I bled them and assumed that was all it needed, but I ended up taking it for a look over at mechanic and turned...
