    Series 3 engine oil

    Every 150 miles I am having to put a litre of engine oil. There is a small leak from the engine and there no smoke coming out the exhaust? How much should it typically consume?

    so my series 3, petrol gets about 95 miles on out a full tank is this about right? I don’t run it super low because I don’t trust the gauge :) It’s 10 gallons or 45 litres

    Low Mileage series

    Hi there, I keep seeing Series Land Rovers, and most of them have really low mileage, which is genuine. For example, I have seen a Series 3 with 31,000 miles, a Series 1 with only 23,000 miles, another Series 3 with 60,000 miles, and mine with 55,000 miles. My second question is: what is the...

    How much did a series Land Rover cost new?

    I was thinking about inflation, I think my series 3 is valued at £15.000 But what did it cost brand new in 1980? I know the series 1 was £450 new but don’t know the cost of a new series 2, 2a, 3 :)

    Fairy overdrive leak

    My Fairy Overdrive has a small oil leak. I was wondering if the green circle is the nut for topping it up. Is the red circle the drain plug? Is there a dip stick for it, I can’t see one. Thanks

    Original Land Rover Restoration?

    Ok this might be covered elsewhere but I couldn’t find it after a search so I’m asking anyway. What do you consider needs to be original for a vehicle to be restored. Think “Trigger’s Broom” and you will get my gist. For me original chassis and engine sounds a good start but I’ve seen restos...

    Series 3 not starting after injector swap

    Just replaced the injectors on my series 3 with some refurbished ones and having trouble starting it. I’ve loosed off the feed pipes and there getting fuel. Noticed a small leak from one of the leak off pipes but surely that wouldn’t cause it to fail (ordered a bolt) will replace next week...

    Where do I hang the front mud flaps on a series 2a

    Can anyone tell me where I should fasten front mud flaps on a series 3. I’m assuming it goes from the first sill bolt to the chassis footwell support bracket as it is the only place that makes sense, but it seems a bit too wide for a square fit with a (non genuine) set. Thanks Tony
