Also I acquired a second lightweight off fleabay very cheap and it drives better than my nice one!!!

Thanks all! Your casual nonchalance towards such sounds has filed me with confidence! The obvious answer is not to take my foot of the gas! ;) And @Thommo1 I'm away next week but if you're near me So30 then always welcome some landy chat advice and a cup of tea!

Cheers Wireman. If I take it out of gear while rolling the noise stops, so I'm thinking gear box?

Hi all, Remember that lightweight I painted Kermit green by accident? ;) Well she looks better now in bronze green but I've noticed recently that when I coast in gear (i.e ease off the gas) I hear a quiet yet tinny rattling from below driver's seat area. What could this be and should I be...

After getting an MOT slapped on the old girl, finally thought it was worth investing in a new tin of paint, some delux seats and a full service! Dont think it'd been done in 11 years by previous owner, front diff was almost dry!!!! Thank god I replaced all the oils!

For anybody who cares ;) just threw a new canvas on her today. Looks nice against the bronze green I think!?

;) Nope! They seem to "inject" ok though!

Update, went down the injector servicing route! Professional did it and set them. One was simply ****ing fuel so might be our issue right there! I'm putting them back in now. Question.... Why does one injector have a sort of linear grove across its head? Others don't. See photos.

Thanks for help guys, your comments have helped me decide. I think the advice from the garage has been duff, I don't think the landy is in bad shape. These things are tractors! Booked her in with R D Avery near Wiltshire now. They seem happy to take a look. Sound like some good old school...

If the Odo is to be believed, and I think it's possible its correct, then only 45k! I know naff all about diesels! Any recommendations near Hampshire to take it to?

The landrover "specialist" garage. I've tracked a few down locally, but I'm getting the impression most of them just want to bolt on LEDs to new defenders at £90 / hr for an easy life! It's hard to find a decent garage who can be bothered to work on an older rover I think.

Hello folks, I recently bought a "cheap" 1984 series 3 truck cab off flea-bay! Chassis is reasonable, electrics work, the only real MOT blocker was the smokey diesel! I was hoping to get a proper expert to fix it with timing chain or pump adjustment, but it went from white smoke to...

Good to know! I was a student at sparsholt many moons ago and we used to drive a few local lanes near kings somborne between lectures but they were pretty short and while totally legal we'd get evil looks from the walkers! I'll do a bit of research on legal local ish options and come back...

I'd be happy just pootling through some leafy tracks in the series. Not looking to go wading or up to axles ;) I'm keen for a gathering if anybody fancies being the local guide?

I'm keen for a meet up! And a bit of light Laning (I.e no chain saw required) I've never done Salisbury plains, anybody know it and fancy a drive out one Eve or weekend?

As far as I know, it's just one guy with his plane who pays the farmer/estate to not plow that strip and keep it cut. Made for a handy grass road for the drone shots though!

Odd the video stops! Here's the link again just in case! Thanks folks. I can't believe I got a solid S3 on eBay for £2.5k! The only thing that didn't work was a single side light and no air filter, both easily fixed! Oh and pumpy brakes! The air strip is a private runway in middle...

I've got one question... When filling the tank with clean fuel, it over flowed and ran down outside of tank onto floor, I.e not out via the filler pipe. Does that indicate hose is split/detached or is there a "normal" over flow hole in there somewhere? How the heck do I get to the fuel hose...

eBay purchase (gamble) not been run in 10 years!

What do you guys make of the smoke colour? She starts and runs well, like a tractor, and all the electrics WORK! I can't believe it! Now will it pass an MOT.......HMMMMM
