Thread: What work did you do on your Series Land Rover last weekend

Good luck with the remaining jobs ........






Don't forget to pop back and clean the floor, and fix those leaks under your car

Gee it will be quiet from now on, I'll be able to drop my diesel motor in

I will be back next week, to clean the floor, and fix your leaks

Time for the Dorma to be rebuilt....

and on tuesday young Madge was successfully put on historic registration

and to celebrate i fitted rocky mountain door tops...

boy oh boy are they excellent value!

Iam loving those tyres what brand are they? and where did you get them from? They would be ideal on my 86" series 1

I have been installing my rebuilt steering box, new steering relay with clutch master and slave cylinders, as well as new piping for clutch.

Currently trying to bleed the clutch lots of air everywhere.... I think I'm getting closeish though. O and the guys who made up my new pipes didn't do a very good job of it either... I gave them the old pipes to copy and they still stuffed it up... had to bodge the new ones (that cost me $80) with my pliers cause I dont have any pipe bending tools! If I had the right tools I would have made my own pipes. It has been a saw point all afternoon!!

Good news is that I've nearly got steering again! just have to reassemble the dash bits around the steering column. Hopefully I can resurrect my indicator, the mounting bit has broken and i'm gluing that back up (cross your fingers for me). Then I just have to put the floor back in and I'm back on the road! yay!

I've been missing my S3 for the last month while it's been off the road, we only have the one other car (not that that worries us much) but I miss going for a spin in the LR.

Replaced the contact and spring in the distributor cap for 'HECter', the old contact had pushed up into the cap and wasn't moving at all.

Then fitted some tidied up leads to the new bakelite spark plug covers, hope it's worth all the trouble I'm going to.

I think the same sometimes... but then I just think of the fun I have driving around in something as fun as a series LR. O, and individual as well!

1. Looking good. Hmmm.... that trailer looks like it could do with a restoration though
2. Charlies' Reynolds Boughton . . . . I definitely want one.

Yes the RB is growing on me too, now I have driven it a fair bit, I should have some news regarding type approval next month for RB import certification....
