Before doing any of that, pull the idle jet and clean it, blow it through to clear any carbon build up. The symptoms are classic clogged jet, the engine is actually cutting out on overrun but it’s not apparent and the spluttering is it kicking back in again. If it persists you need to retune the...

Of course they’re worth something. The fabric seats are late production era. Someone will value them.

Trade deal please. Back in the day Unipart had a bad reputation for exorbitant prices. Global economy likely to adjust and keep pricing competitive.

No worries, it’s how you like it so everyone else can FO. Tee hee

Welcome. Just doon the road eh! If you need advice on P38’s try Kinross 4x4. No vested interest, I’ve got an S3 .

It’s often said the S2a is the pinnacle of series for styling etc. I had a 109 and it was a beast but just something about that setup was so nice. Loved the ignition switch with the power settings. You moved so slowly it didn’t matter what speed you’re doing. It was my first landy. In Shetland...

Depends on how original you want to keep it. Back in the day My first landy was a 2a and I love that dashboard. But if you change it will effect the provenance of the vehicle - a series 3 with a 2a dashboard? All things are possible but originality is becoming important if you’re ever going to...

The best ones which are unobtainable are series mud flaps which attaches to the rear crossmember with a larger metal bracket and then the rubber mud flap is bolted into the brackets. It was a sensible design cos you didn’t need to disturb the chassis to replace them. The paddocks craddocks are ok .

If the bushes are shot and they’ve been there for a while they will almost certainly be totally sized. You’ll have to burn out the bushes with a blow torch, usually you get halfway and if you apply continued heat and a drift they will push out but it’s a dirty smelly job especially if you’re...

No. The fact it’s caught in the sump, is good. If it was a material ongoing running problem it would have become self evident already. Old engines.

Yes please for pictures, you’re engine is an iconic engineering design. There’s all sorts of solutions depending on the problem.

I’ve tried previous to forward mine and as posted it’s too big a file size.

FFS. Are you labouring a pointless point, the description says truck cab for a 109. It’s not that? The advert is misleading, duh!

Okay, have a look at these.

Yes I’ve seen and I’ve got one (SWB) . You’re right it doesn’t have side windows; it’s what I said; the canvas is for a SWB but the sticks are sort of for a 109 but not full tilt just a pick up. It’s a muddle offer.

If it’s got the sharks teeth front it’s too short for a 109 truck cab but it seems to have enough sticks for a 109 cab. It’s not got the front sticks for the full tilt. Looks like a mish mash.

There’s an old post with a link to manuals. Years ago I found a link to the full S3 manual, parts lists and optional extras in pdf format. Worth trying to Google.

I’ll take a photo tomorrow. Before I converted I was worried how this was going to work, a safety belt bar from Exmoor Trim is expensive. When I then started to look at the sticks for the tilt I discovered it’s got a plastic hook set onto the front stick above shoulder height to hang the belt...

Something around the timing chain housing perhaps if it’s coming from that area? That’s a semi difficult job to dismantle and inspect. Do you have a workshop manual?

Welcome. Go to the Series forum, there’s a recent post about this. As always it’s not simple. You can buy the sticks and canvas on eBay or wherever and it may be a good buy. Unless you can inspect the canvas tilt don’t buy it blind. If you can get the sticks secondhand great. Don’t worry about...
