I've been converting my full tilt military 109 to a truck cab in order to try and preserve my canvas over winter. I'm struggling a bit with how to attach it. The only documentation I've found is page 76-8 which gives an exploded diagram of the cab parts only, and I'm not sure I've got them...

The fuel tank on the passenger side of my truck has a corrosion problem. Not sure why or what's best to do about it. It still has fuel in the bottom but I don't dare switch to it because I'm worried about the rust particles that may get picked up. At a minimum I think I need a new cap, seal...

Just failed am MOT on emissions, I haven't looked at the engine properly since I bought it, been too busy with the gearbox, so decided I need to give it a tune. I've looked up the engine number, should be 8:1, so according to the book I should be at TDC on the strobe. Putting the strobe to...

I have a broken wire on one of my gauge bulbs, the cold start one. I've had a good look around and am really struggling to find replacements. The originals come pre-terminated, it's not clear to me at all that the centre pin connection comes apart at all. Are replacements with crimp terminals...

It's been a couple of months since I took all this apart. I remember it goes behind the tab plate on the RHS gearbox mount but not which stud.

I'm fitting an electric fan in my series 3, the Revotech kit. Mechanically installation is very simple but I'm looking for some advice on which circuit (ignition switched) is going to be best to use that's up for the current. It's going to be wired up next to the battery. Has anybody fitted...

I've just been putting the selector rods back into my gearbox. With the top cover and detents not yet installed, they were moving back and forth quite freely but now I've finished refining the cover and detents I can no longer move them. I can see that the gear stick will give me a whole lot...

When taking out my gearbox/transfer box to rebuild the gearbox I saw that the transmission drum brake was swimming in oil, presumably coming from the transfer case. A friend of mine mentioned a common mod where a drain hole is drilled into the rear of the casing, I'm looking for more...

I've had a bad noise which I'd worked out is either the alternator or water pump. I thought it might be the viscous coupling on the fan but was surprised to see that there isn't one, just metal fan blades bolted directly to the water pump pulley. I've seen a 7-bolt military water pump listed...

I'm part way though the process of removing my gearbox to replace what I thought was a noisy clutch release bearing. I've got the floor and seat box out and have just completed the step "drain the gearbox oil". The transfer box oil looked a bit old but fine, the gearbox oil had rather a lot of...

I had a bear of a time un-seizing mine, to the point where the welded tube on the bulkhead on the driver side tore apart. I want to replace these bolts. I looked up the part number here, 346989 and ordered from Craddocks: The parts that arrived are much too short. Have I been sent the...

On a series 3, because obviously I'd rather not!

Hello, I've just bought an ex-mod series III and am trying to work out what all of the switch positions and indicator lights are supposed to do. Not helped by the fact that there's definitely some dodgy electrics going on! A - what is this indicator for? whatever I do it doesn't seem to...

Hello, I just got a series 3 and am looking for suggestions for a good mobile phone holder that mounts to the dash. In the past I've always used brodit clips but they don't make one for the series 3, I tried their defender one and it wont fit.

Picked up a 1984 ex-military series III (109") last week. She's a bit rough but was cheap and I'm handy enough at fixing stuff. I'm in Cambridgeshire and bought it from the South Coast. The two front tyres were scary looking so I had them changed before driving it back. The ones that came...
