    Series 3 Taking the rear transfer axle out to change

    I've read and watched many articles and videos about this gear system and to be honest they make something simple very complicated. This is what I do: 1. normal driving: yellow UP + red FORWARD + hub FREE 2.light 4x4: yellow DOWN + red FORWARD + hub LOCK 3. heavy 4x4: yellow DOWN + red BACKWARD...

    Series 3 Taking the rear transfer axle out to change

    That can't be it Webley I even use "locking hubs" (in front) which are on "free" almost all the time. Could that be a reason?! Puzzling thing is why always the same rear driver side halfshaft?

    Series 3 Taking the rear transfer axle out to change

    I can't figure this out myself. Engine is original 2.25 petrol. Ties are standard size. I guess its my driving. I agree entirely. To be honest I am starting think I should buy all the necessary tools little by little and do everything myself. These are not complicated cars. With proper...

    Series 3 Taking the rear transfer axle out to change

    Thanks for reply James. we opened and took out the halfshaft to see that the other end of it is cut so neatly as if by a machine. It was stuck in the diff and no matter what we did could not get it out. So we had to take the truck to the mechanic which spend half an hour hammering a rod from...

    Series 3 Taking the rear transfer axle out to change

    Hello Since I have broken my rear halfshaft again (#6 or 7 since I bought the truck) I need to change it and this time I want to do it myself maybe I would have better luck with it.

    Series 3 Adjusting steering box

    Maybe I have the wrong manual? Mine in page 211 has only 4 short lines. Doesn't mention anything about lifting or isolating. That is what I am worried about. Problem is I am not even sure if it is a steering box problem.

    Save my lawn!

    personally I think planting a lawn is the sign of decline of any civilization. You have to keep on cutting it, knowing well in advance that it will grow up again, you keep on cutting the damned thing and it grows back again. Not only that, instead of trying to figure out how to make it stop...

    Series 3 Puzzling overheating problem

    I am adding this in case anybody else had this problem in future. After checking every component of cooling system without solving the problem somebody suggest checking the carb, distributor and valves. We did a valve spacing adjustment and the guy used a timing light and checked the timing. He...
