Hi , Having issues with speedo so planned to replace the cable , should be pretty straight forward .... of course not. Have taken the screws & bracket off , the manual seems to show it just slots in , no further retainer , but guess what the cable doesn't want to come out of the gearbox ...

Had 3 landies each one leaked via the roof onto the dash / floor , usually via corner holes / bolts ,ultimately each one leaked via the gutter , which had just dried up , flexed & cracked .Never considered removing the rivets , just scraped out all the old hard sealant , replaced with a nice...

Glass arrived - perfect fit , have left the seal stretched around the body of the gauge , and next to the radiator , hope that will stretch it to the right size long enough for it to fit tonight

Hi, Think I've got it sorted , managed to fit the temp/fuel gauge back together , fitting the seal above the glass , against the bezel , the fact that the seal supplied are slightly too small makes it interesting , as you have to prod the seal under & apply pressure to keep it under , whilst...

Hi , Tidying up my dash , including cleaning the gauges & glass , which seemed to held together by some sort of black dried out sealant . Got some replacement seals , however am not sure if the rounded glass seal goes directly in the grove on the gauge and then the glass goes on top & held...

Now you mention it , it does doesn't it , de greased , jet sprayed and cleaned up the whole gearbox when I replaced the rear seal & replaced the the handbrake shoes ....

Thanks

Hi All , Was underneath at the weekend - Exhaust strap broken , and noticed my gearbox is missing a couple of nuts . Wondered if anyone knows the type / size / part number ? Much appreciated Cheers Steve

Hi , Am looking for edging strip for the top lip of the a series 3 lower dash , strangely have found it's possible to buy the L/H drive version , but not the regular R/H drive . anyone have a spare knocking around ? Cheers Steve 07843033259

Hi , Have a tan defender / 90 headlining for sale , not bad condition, would clean up nicely. Actually came out of my Series 3 Collection only from Bromley Kent £40:00 ono Cheers Steve 07843033259

Thanks Dominic, I'm re introducing the "T" piece this weekend , and will also check the timing & vacuum pipe , though I doubt that , as it's an original copper one , bit like an oil pressure line . I'll check timing as well. The idea of reintroducing the oil bath is always there , though for me...

Hi , Finished adjusting the door hinges this weekend , and went out for a long hard drive , including some steep / steep hills - got home to discover that the engine had blown oil ( maybe 1/2 pint , looks worse than it actually is ) out through the oil breather stack . Cleaned up now ...

Did the business over the weekend , top screws no issue , bottom ones totally immoveable , drilled them out with ease & and swapped with stainless, managed to get the adjustment I was looking for , so the door gap /seal is much better . The most valuable tool turned out to be a small powerful...

Thanks , Good reminder to get the WD40 on early , will give them a good spray tomorrow & Friday ready for the weekend , have stainless replacement bolts on the way , not planning to change the hinges as don't seem to have much slack / movement . I see the main adjustment being to move the...

Hi All, Need to adjust my drivers door , so plan to slacken off the hinges , however get the feeling the screws are going to put up some mighty resistance , am worried about damaging the heads and finding having to drill / cut / replace ,so am keen to get prepared . I gather the screws are...

I'd certainly agree , and would be quite happy to return , however when I got the vehicle the oil bath , it's cradle & all the hoses & carb connection were all gone , have looked around and it's going to add up to quite a bit to source & replace, perhaps in the future as funds allow , but just...

Hi All , Did a bit of further digging around , which I know I should have done initially , and this topic has come up a number times in various forms, and as always there are a multiple of views on the same question , one answer that caught my eye was " Is yours the T type system with one leg...

Hi All, That did cross my mind, but no, it is just a ground up rebuild of many parts . Any tax saving has already been spent on quite a parts list , back to the hose many thanks for the advise on the negative pressure , that does make sense, will get rid of that one a replace with just a...

Hi All, After getting rid of my Series 3 pick up early this year , I just couldn't keep away , so ended up getting a replacement - would have got one sooner if I hadn't been shocked by the prices - Amazing , anyway finally found my - 1965 - Series 3 ... yes that's right , a 3 on a 2a chassis ...
