I've got the engine, which a mate bought to put in a Defender , I'll probably do the same. Just wanted to find out a bit more about the engine and supercharger, will report back once I get some more details .

I will try and sort some photos as it's in storage at the mo. I understand that the 3.9 Rover V8 was upgraded when fitted to the long wheelbase LSE models . Apparently the 4.2 litre V8 was circa 200HP so it may be one of these and its had a supercharger fitted. I'll try and see if any specific...

i am trying to find out some info about the super chargers and who fitted these . I believe the engine is a bored out 3.9 uprated to 4.2 and fitted with a supercharger. I understand it came from a classic Range Rover but not sure if a one off or was an upgrade at the time offered by a specific...

That's just the point because rubbish wings on eBay are fetching on occasions stupid prices, you think there must be a market for someone who can fabricate new ones to a good standard and yet sell them for a sensible price and certainly less than the cost of series 3 or outside skins. I guess...

Ok, have the truck cab not full roof but will keep a look out given I am local . Cheers

I don't think I have ever seen a template or dimensioned drawing. I think it would be easiest for a fabricator to work from an original panel to ensure the curves and angles of the return lip are folded to achieve the correct fitting and penny gap. This can then be test fitted against the outer...

Hi. Are you looking for a truck cab or full hard top ? Regards Marc

Thanks for the suggestions looks like I will try my luck on eBay but given the prices I reckon it's just a matter of time before someone starts to makes these hopefully and at a reasonable price.

Has anyone located a new manufacturer or supplier who is now making the front panel for series. 2 front wings. I am in the process of completing restoration of series. 2 but made the mistake of cutting the old damaged and dented panel out as I didn't realise these were no longer made...

Finally sorted the problem. The landrover is the last of the series 3 and has used some of the parts namely master cylinder used on the 90's /110. I changed the master cylinder and same problem occurred. As previously mentioned the pipes leaving the master cylinder and going to the top of the...

The back brakes are not dragging just lock up to easy when braking. I had concerns about the master cylinder in case this had been piped in correctly. This checked out okay but it appears that past owner has upgraded master to a later 90 / 110 type with what appears to be a series servo . I...

Was forgetting it seems to have later master cylinder with servo so would need to remove master cylinder to check adjustment of rod unlike early series. Will try and identify master cylinder used as seems different to the ones advertised. The tyres pressures are standard, resistance on shoes is...

Backs were adjusted by locking up then backing off until I get slight resistance when spinning drum. I will double check master cylinder rod adjustment to see if its ok.

I have just completed restoration of late series 3 hardtop . 84 model SWB which had been part restored by someone else. it has twin cylinders on front and servo . It's had new cylinders on the front all shoes recently replaced as the new cylinders had seized up where it has sat so long, all...

Cheers will have a look at that.Someone else mentioned about the requirement for two relays for main and full beam, I thought a triple connection block at the time was a bit to easy. Still , learn a little each day.

I have got another switch so will try that. I presume i can get a standard relay from motorist shop but dont know how this should be wired will check other threads to see if there is any info, wiring clearly not my strong point. I did think about only having one set say the outer wings working...

Hi, I am in process of rebuilidng series2A 1968 with a V8 conversion. I have headlights in the wings but also have an older centre rad grille with headlights. I have connected these to a new loom so that all four lights operate of the standard switch. I have used a new switch but this failed...
