I have a cat flap to fix back to the Landy. I have the “hinge” bracket (shown below) fixed to the roof OK (which has 2 holes for fixing bolts). I have my refurbished cat flap ready (which has 4 holes - also shown below). I could just use 2 of the holes to fix the two together, but that seems...

A while back i ordered doorseals (lr077686/7) for the doors on my series 3. I now have come to the point where i want to fit them. All the other seals i have fitted so far have had a flat metal backing strip, and i have fitted these by drilling holes in the relevant places and using pop rivets...

On each of the side-to-back panels there are these 2 brackets (you can see one clearly-ish, in the middle of the picture) which i can't track down on the parts diagram. I have a catflap back on my landy. what are these for?

I have a feeling i am well b******ed. Having rebuilt the gearbox and it now sitting in an almost complete car, i find that the gearbox is stuck in 4wd ( i have tested this with the car on 4 axle stands, if i wedge something under both front wheels, the wedge gets pushed back). The high/low...

My (old) speedo doesn't show any speed. As part of the rebuild, I have fitted a new speedo cable. I have checked this and it is turning ok (i had the landy on axle stands and "drove" the landy, and can see the cable turning in the correct direction). If i put a screwdriver in the back of the...

I have spent ages trying to sort out the issue with parking my wiper motor. I have a new switch at the drivers side of the car from Emberton Imperial (which has different pins to the OEM switch). I had a new connector/parking switch also from Emberton on the wiper motor with 5 spades: 1) live...

I have installed new jets from paddocks, new 4mm tubing from Emberton, and am using the pump that was on the vehicle. First time i tested it (in the garage), the water went over the top of the vehicle and none of the windscreen. Having had a look at the jets, i can't see how i can change their...

I am following some bearmach instuctions for installing side steps (starting on passenger side first) and the instructions include ""attach the bracket to the two pre-drilled holes in no. 1 body outrigger". I have a replacement chassis (from richards) and the old one has gone to the scrappy so i...

I am slowly making progress getting the seats installed. However, having got the centre seat in place, I cannot work out how to squeeze the retracting part of the belt behind the seats. There is neither room for it behind the centre seat nor the passenger seat. As you can see in the photos, I...

I have just bought some deluxe seats and thought i was going to have a nice easy job popping them on, but (as usual) nothing is as easy as i hoped. I have these metal seat backs (which i can't find on the S3 parts list) which i can easily bolt to the (sliding) seat base frame. I thought i would...

I have just bought one of these but I am not sure if it is faulty. I have placed my multimeter connectors on each of the spades and have put the meter to test for continuity. I was expecting that when I pushed the little plastic head in, I would get continuity, but I don't. I have also tried...

I have just bought some securon seat belts. I was just about to install them but when I tested them, I could not get the belt to pull out from the automatic reel. I have tried very slowly pulling out, also trying letting it in a bit first. I have tried the reel in different orientations. The...

I have found (when testing on my drive) that the throttle can get stuck on. I have located the cause, which you can see in the first photo, where the vertical shaft is getting stuck under the horizontal shaft. So i have got something wrong, but not obvious what. I was thinking that if i could...

I put the bonnet on for the first time after welding the series 3 "hinge" bracket onto my series 2 bulkhead: that end of the bonnet worked fine. However, i was (rightly) nervous about the bonnet catch end at the front. Having put the bonnet down softly onto the mechanism, it didn't want to...

I am in the process of installing a new loom on a car i am rebuilding so lots of things not installed yet. I can't remember if this is an original switch or a replacement. I know i have tested the windscreen wiper switch output and the wiper motor moved ok. However, i am installing the washer...

As you can see in the first photo, there is a big gap between the inner wing panel and the mud guard, which i can't believe is correct. I had to do some repairs to the inner wing panel, as the corners with the holes were corroded away. You can see I have pop-rivetted a couple of repair patches...

This is a follow on really from another post. Where is best to locate the Relay Box I am using for headlights, fan etc? If I put it on the side of the inner wing, it will sit above the battery. I suspect I would need to remove the Relay Box (and wires) if I wanted to remove the battery. Not...

Having jerry-rigged up almost all the wiring, i have most dials/gauges/switches working. However, I went to see if the fuel and temp gauges work and got nothing. Now, i don't have much fuel in the tank at the moment, so i can understand that that might show nothing. But having run the engine up...

I bought this on ebay, partly as i needed a hazard switch. I can't find anything similar in any photos on the web. I can't work out if/where i could place this bracket in my dash - is there somewhere it can fit?

I have got most of the electrics connected and working - just a few more bits to get sorted (hazards, horn etc). At the moment, the console with all the dials and switches on it is just sitting free on a seat- much easier to sort out connections. Apart from the bare bulkhead, i don't have any of...
