Havent been down there for a while, getting a caravan this year, so might take a wee trip down! My old girl started second turn again today and is was about minus 10 here last night. I do think a lot of these problems can be avoided by just using them! In Spain I used the Landy every day moving...

I like Devon, Mrs Fatrover is from Torquay! Cant beat a bit of rovering up on the moors to Princetown......

Yes indeed, hve some experience of winterised wolfs i recall they were v warm

Excellent, thank you! We had something like minus 17 in Scotland last night although where I am on the West Coast it was about minus 4. Ive got a rad muff, which seems to help. No cabin heater but I do have a heated windscreen which is fine. Am thinking about a cabin heater but all options are...

Ok, will do. It was doing it before with the old alt ( which was def. knackered). I suspect the wiring to the bulb is shorting its all original! Thanks for the tip

I think its at the dash, I had it out to replace the washer motor and had to wire a new wiper switch in. Alt is brand new I replaced it last week, new connections etc, although to be fair, the battery post connectors are looking a bit shoddy ..must redo them

Thanks guys, I do disconnect the batt as Ive got a slight drain somewhere, something to do with the charge light which comes on intermittently when switched off! Was thinking about a block heater, i think that would make a difference. Just been out in her today and she started second turn but...

Having spent a long time in The Canaries....I’m not much used to all this cold! And we are moving further north in Scotland soon, where its even colder! So I wondered if I might pick your collective brains on cold weather precautions for my old series 3, ...I wondered about adding a bit of...

Have had Series 3s since 1996, kept parts off most of them ! Need to put them in some sort of order. I left a Safari roof and sides in Spain when we moved, which in hindsight was a mistake.☹️

Im going to add the old alt to my bin of landy parts...in my new house we have a Workshop happy days !

Making the conenctors was the worst, Ive got hands like shovels.....the old alt was the original one from 76, took a bit of getting out. Had the Mrs with her wee hands to help putting the bolts back in and bracing the heads with a spanner while I tightened them up from underneath. Would have...

Yes, I was a bit worried about doing it, as at the mo I dint have a workshop as we are moving house, anyhow, Getting the old one out was the worse part, new one went in in a couple of hours including stripping wires, making connectors etc. The alt I got from Craddocks is a direct replacement...

Looks like i was bloody lucky to get my alternator

Thought I would conclude this by saying I changed the alt this morning for a 17 ACR from Craddocks, came in at 40 quid. Made new connectors for the back of the alt, soldered and crimped, working a treat now 14v to the battery

Ordered an alternator last week it came yesterday , weds. ( to the highlands). Used them loads, mo complaints so far.

Thats exactly whats going to happen! Have some off a massey

Thats the kind of thing I was thinking of. The doors close quite well, so am not that keen on new hinges, although the mirror situation is driving me mad, I use a lot of single track roads with a trailer, so good wingys are a must !

Hmmmm, thinking......might just be enough if I used shorter screws.......

The Craddock ones virtually a direct replacement, 40 odd quid with the vat. Will keep the old one, add it ti the spares cupboard. Have more space at my new place and One can never have too many Landrovers

Yes, I had a feed for that purpose, still nowt ! Its the original one , so 44 years aint so bad....!
