The brass is a great idea, don't know why i didn't think of it before, gonna see if I can get 1 wide enough to cap the hole, the fibreglass is a good back up if all else fails. Thanks for the ideas.

Hi all, the drain plug on my 109 s3 large rear fuel tank was leaking, so thought i'd replace the washer & bolt, was going fine until the bolt housing came away from the tank. I made a small plate to go inside & out bolted thru, but instant gaskets cant cope being submerged in diesel for long...

Thanks for the information, it's my first Landy so other's experience & knowledge is a real help. Was hoping to get it ready for the Peterborough show but time's run out, oh well, always Billing show next year :(

Hi all, I've just started restoring my ex military 109, rear crossmember's completely rotten so ordering new, the one fitted is standard 109 ( tapered ends ) rather than the military spec ( square ends ). In your opinions, is it better to return it to original spec or replace like for like ...

Just had confirmation from the DVLA, because the v5 say's manufactured 1979, evidence must have been provided when registered in 1991, so historic vehicle registration shouldn't be a problem. Thanks again for the info supplied in this thread.

Thanks, I understand that but sometimes exact info' is required to comply with their rules, the info' I've been given on this thread is very helpful.

The gov site doesn't include some info ( on ex mod/ diesel to petrol/gas conversion for historic ) & heard stories of people have a hard time registering for historic vehicles. THANKS V8BOB, that's great info, it's plate is H*****T.

Hi, I'm a newbie to Landy's, & probably insane for thinking of starting a major series 3 project, body off resto'. Can you give me some information on whether my car could be mot/tax exempt, I have read the information online but this doesn't give me the information I need. The car is a 1979 EX...
