Passed mot with NO advisories!!!!!

Hi We had the same experience with our series 3, 2.25lt petrol, two years ago:(... Found a blanking bolt in the head the same as yours. We fitted an adaptor bolt part no...568457 and washer part no... 231577 into the head. Then we put in the temp gauge sender unit part no... 560794. It has...

Hi we've got catflap and tailgate on our ex coastguard series 3 - the lower tailgate is just a standard one and the catflap has two bars that lock it, with a lip at the bottom which stops the tailgate from coming down. Hubby sez that they can be side or bottom mounted. There is a parts diagram...

The one on our Series 3 petrol is white! What's that for?

Hi all We have just bought an ex coastguard 1984 Series 3 Landy and are trying to find out some history so we can put her back to original colours etc. We contacted Heritage Motor Centre who told us it was dispatched to Stirling and gave us another contact there. Unfortunately they had no...

We've been looking for 'evidence' too! Looks like she once had a winch, not sure wot else yet but will update if we can!

If I manage to find out I'll let u kno! May be a while tho... :scratching_chin:

Yup! Gonna try to find out where it came from originally and how it was painted BUT might just do the roof yellow and wheels blue and stick with bodywork how it is. Who knows?!!!:confused::confused:

Petrol - did about 22 mpg getting her home so not bad! Really want to repaint in original coastguard colours - just got to find out exactly what that was. She has primrose yellow inside roof but looks like new bonnet so not sure whether should be yellow or blue?

With a year's MOT and 6 mths tax - a grand! Engine runs really well and bodywork not too bad, interior pretty good too.

Ooops! We were comparing her to our other series 3 - noticed the difference in lights. Everything seems to match up to Series 3 but she is a late one - just bought replacement hub cap for the one she lost and had to get Defender as apparently they were fitted from 1983 onwards? Learning more...

Exactly! Now thinking of keeping her for winter and putting big ole mud tyres on her and removing roof from the other for the summer!!!!

Wooooh! We just picked up Landy number 2 - 1984 Series 3 ex Coastguard. She came sweetly home, a lovely drive. So far seems to need a tart up but nothing major (and she was meant to be just for spares but now thinking winter car and summer car!!!!!) Hee hee, wot fun.:D:D:D:D:D

Have a Series 2a engine in series 3 body - set up new distributor to timing marks and runs really rough. Gave up and set up by ear. Run for few miles and temp guage just above middle. Is this norm? :confused:

We thought that - was interested in buying but not now!!!

How can it be 1964? It's just been done to get tax exempt?

Noi more pics but it doesn't look like our series 3 engine! Hubby justy reminded me that our supposed series 3 engine is actually series 2a!:doh:

Body work looks like series 3 but being sold as series 3 1964! Engine not right!

We found the problem! Seller said it was the choke sender unit which was actually water temp unit!!! Out water temp sender unit just had a bolt!!! now sorted thanks for all help THANX
