    Series 3 LWB Axle Rebuild Question

    I'm in the process of rebuilding both the front (normal) and rear (Salisbury) axles for my series 3 LWB. The question I have is, as I attached the drive flange (Part # 571711) to the hub, I realized that there seem to be nothing holding the axle shaft (Part # 576767) from sliding out on the rear...

    Series III - Rules concerning Seatbelts

    I've recently brought two Land Rover Series III 109 Santana Especials from Spain to France (a 1980 and a 1982). As I'm pretty sure the rules applying in the UK and France are now the same (ie. based on EU rules), does anyone know what the obligations are for these vehicles - or at least their...

    TD5 To Series III Bulkhead Conversion

    My bulkhead has reached the end of its life; in fact it should have been put down years ago! The top rail is totally shot, both foot wells are holed and rusted and at least one of the feet is seriously corroded. The answer is to either find a replacement – rare as hens teeth in good condition...
