Many thanks ! It did look like BSP to me at first glance, but I thought no, that would be too simple

I've just fitted this 12J engine to my Series 2A. Can anyone please tell me the thread form/size on this brass plug that fits in the rear upper face of the head. The engine was ex military originally, the early 12J type. Unfortunately, while I have series parts catalogues, I've got nothing for...

Would you please tell me exactly what paint you used ? No cracks in mine yet, the late type wheels tend to hold up much better than the wire spoked type

I'm trying to build up a replacement engine for my 2A diesel, and at present all I can find in my parts stash are four newish looking parallel type heater plugs. I can't find any information on them in any of my workshop manuals, the S3 genuine manual shows the earlier in series type, with the...

I've got Deestones on my daily driver 88 diesel. OK, to be fair they're not brilliant in the wet, but overall they are performing much better than a lot of crossplies I've had over the years, they don't seem to wander about the road like the old tyres of yore, and they even cope pretty well...

I think that the definitive answer has to lie within the official LR S3 parts catalogue. If it shows, or lists three mounting points, with the associated hardware, you've got a case to complain IMHO.

Looks like someone at Richards Chassis had a brainstorm, and nobody checked their work afterwards. I think at the very least, they owe you a bracket, and a fixing system for it. I'd be using rivnuts myself, at least 4 x 8mm to be safe

Yeah, that's what I suspected, decent 2K paint ain't cheap. Maybe if I painted some other stuff at the same time it might work out to be more viable. I'm actually trying to avoid putting another cover on it, although they're quite reasonably priced at about £25, I'd rather have it the way that...

I'm aware that there are people out there refurbishing the wire spoked type wheels from various series ones, twos, and 2A's. No problem with cracks in my wheel, just needs painting, lacquer or whatever. But my experience of cheap paint is that it's really soft, even when fully cured, I don't...

I need to paint the steering wheel on my late 2A, otherwise I will be getting black sticky hands every time I drive it, well at least if it's damp weather. I've just junked the PVC rim jacket that I fitted about ten years ago, the poor thing was falling apart. Now I need to seal in the...

Cheers! , I'd forgotten about LOF, I'll check them out tonight. Got an idea they only do complete kits, but still.

Apologies for my abruptness, as I've only just re-registered on here, but I've got to get my Series back on the road ASAP, it's my only transport. Coming home from work last Monday afternoon, I suffered a complete transmission failure, lost all drive full stop. My first thoughts were a...
