BUT if they hadn't the chances are that Landrover as a company just wouldnt exist now ......systemic neglect and lack of investment whilst fiddling as Rome burns and folks moaning about the loss of the defender on facebook whilst not actually buying the product meant there was little chance of...

Bolt on disk kits wont affect points ..... As for is it worth it ??? depends ... Lots of towing/hill work/lack of arsedness in keeping drums adjusted correctly/driving like you stole it ... then possibly ... Drive sensibly (even with full fat Tdi power) and keep drums in good order...

Some series 3's already have the hole in the gear stick mounting for the switch to fit in (its basically the screw in brake light switch) Lucas 575166 http://www.nickslandrover.co.uk/how-the-gearbox-selectors-and-detents-work/ Either drill the bracket if the holes not there or look out for...

You can bet that'll be the problem end too ....think on a couple of mine I've used one of the three bolts that support the steering box support .

Careful I love beer .... Thats one of my FFR's with two hand pumps and 144 pints of real ale on the go at our annual charity show in Wakefield ..."Leafers at T'pit"

Happy to help .... earth lead will usually be a heavy cable (similar size to that from battery to solenoid ) OR sometimes a metal braided strip from memory on a standard series 3 it goes from the - on the battery to the battery tray mounting Ideally landrover would have fitted one from one of...

Give the starter solenoid a sharp tap on its side Got any jump leads? take the earth (black one) from the - post on the battery to a good clean metal surface on the engine (one of the lifting eyes is ideal if fitted) making sure you have good contact with clean metal.... then try starting...

There is a, system that uses rubber cones in a similar way to give increased weight capacity (Google AEON spring assisters) adding coils isn't going to help the ride.... if it's an 88 then the ride is notoriously choppy even when springs in good order and loaded.... neglected/rusty springs and...

Check the solenoid and the ignition wire to it.... fuses in the fuse box under the steering column often require corrosion removing from them AND the spring contacts they sit in. earth leads can also be temperamental.

Especially on a ex military series ;-)

Rivets are different between S2 and s3...IF you're bothered lol keep eyes peeled for set of "station wagon" Ones...... 88"or 109 ones both fit ;-)

Just make sure your full steering system is in good order and don't run silly wide tyres at daft low pressures.... No reason otherwise for series steering to be painfully heavy.

no problems with Wolf rims and standard studs.... just make sure they are tightened properly and check them on a regular basis... but then you do that with yours anyway don't you ;-)

stick a set of forward control rims (if you can afford the "rare tax" or 130" Ones if not OR Wolf rims and a set of 900x16s on....
