Thank you

Hi, My wiper motor shorted out and the wiring feeding it nearly caught fire. Fortunately the landy was saved but i now have no wipers. The sheathing melted along the entire length and caused some minor damager to other parts of the harness hence just getting a new one. I am intending to order...

Thanks for your replies.

Hi, I need a new set (x5) AT tyres for my SWB series 3. It currently has Nankang 'wide conquerer' 7.50 x 16 on what I believe are early discovery steel wheels. I can't seem to find them now so assuming they are no longer made. Im quite happy with the overall look of the wheel/tyre so I need...

Thanks for all your help. I've ordered all the parts i need this morning so hopefully over the next week or two I should be able to get the heels back on. Thanks again.

Hi, I've just put my front axle back on and need to replace all the brake lines, shoes and cylinders. (1980 SWB 88 2.25 petrol) Is there/what is the best complete brake line kit and where from? I also need to get a flaring tool so any suggestions there? Or is it a case of ordering everything...

Thanks

Thank you

Hi, I am in the process of putting my front axle back together after some chassis repairs. My question is that my drag link and steering arm sit above the arms on the swivel housings with the track rod ends facing down (I hope that makes sense). So the arms on the swivels are fixed at the...

Hi all, Currently rebuilding my 1980 SIII 2.25p. just about ready to put the front axle back on and I’m curious. Do I need a steering damper? What’s the primary benefit. the vehicle is mainly used on road, with the occasional ‘easy’ green lanes. Thanks Dan

Thanks for the heads up. Any notable problems from the locals?

Hi all, Tomorrow a friend and I might be in the devils punch bowl area, hind head down the A3. looking for some green lanes we might be able to tick off whilst we are there. Land cruiser and disco 4. Nothing too serious just some basics whilst in the area. anyone any ideas? Obviously I’ve...

Thanks for the reply. Ive got a welder and the consumables so I'm going to give it a go myself. practice and learn as i go. Thanks.

Hi all, End of the month is the beginning of my chassis resto. I had planned on welding the repairs myself with the help of a friend who is a competent welder. However they are now not available. Anyone have a recommendation for a mobile welder based in Oxfordshire or nearby who could do the...

Hi, Wrong direction I know however there are some lanes I have used down to the west of Abingdon and slightly further south towards Wantage. Some are as you described 'not off road but not on road'. Just found them using OS mapping...

Thanks Col, will do. I had thought the same regarding a jig or some form of bracing. For now, I'll take as many measurements as i can and try to get the chassis sitting as straight as possible to make it easier. I think i may get some small box section steel to tack on as a jig as and when i...

Apologies for my delayed response. I have hadn't a chance to even think about the land for a few weeks! I have ordered a front 1/4 chassis from GDI products, their reviews looked pretty good. I've booked some time off in october to get it done. Unfortunately a while in the future but its the...

Thanks for the reply chaps. I thought I had seen a couple on eBay. On further inspection I think I will just get the dumb irons and then perhaps some plate to repair the patches of rust long the side of the chassis. Thanks again

Hi all, Looking for the Best manufacturer/supplier for a front 1/4 chassis? Thanks, Dan

Thanks. I’ll give it a go refurb-ing the old springs. Managed to get another day in yesterday. Got the rad and front panel off. Actually ending up cutting the front panel off because of stubborn bolts. - it was rusted through at the bottom anyway so I was going to get a new panel. Thinking of...
