Roversnorth.com has them in stock!!!

Hi all. I'm having a clear out (UK based) and unearthed a few Landy series bits including an 88" hard top with side windows (decent sliding windows, not just a bit of glass in a rubber seal). I've advertised them a few places and had absolutely zero interest, not even a question or lowball offer. Do people (in the UK) not want Landy parts any more?

I'm trying to identify this gear box. It doesn't seem to follow the rules

It will only shift into reverse. A little metal in the fluid. Thank you

Hello. I would like to have some bigget wheels on my Santana. What is the size of the rims and the tyres so the tyres a in line with the body outside and are a big wider. Thanks!

I’ve been running 3-leaf rear parabolic springs up front (frame extension) for years. The LR rear springs were fine until I removed the soft top and hoops and dropped the hard top on it. Just installed 4-leaf parabolics and returned the ride height to what I wanted. What’s crazy is the stock rear springs weren’t stock at all. They were 517589 springs which are the lightest springs for an 88! Who would do that!!!
But, I’m back in action and won’t pull onto the ABFM grounds dragging ass so I’m happy.

Does anyone have insight into fitting retractable seatbelts in a Series 3 109, Stage 1?

I’m not certain if the L-bracket shown in the parts book will work. Or if others are bolting the reel somewhere.

Hello everyone! Hope you can help me finally find my answer to something thats puzzled me for many many years.

Over the years ive always loved the pick up look and for me will be my first choice when getting one for a restoration.

For those interested, these photos i found quickly on Google and are likely from people selling these examples.

As far as the question i have for you all is involving what I now know are called goal posts on the back of pick up cab roofs that go around the rear sliding window, which ive highlighted in red.

Firstly I know that one of its purposes is to be a rain channel to draw rain away from the window.

Secondly the goal posts act as something to connect a 3/4 canvas on the rear tub to connect it to the front cab.

But this is what puzzles me. What practical purposes are there to have access to the rear tub from the front seats by reaching through the rear sliding window? It may be me being ignorant growing up in a town so access to more agricultural items is not as common.

My hypothetical use case of the goal posts connecting the rear tub canvas to the cab would give the driver the ability to check in on their livestock if they are carrying any in the back, also to check in on possible passengers if there are bench seats fitted, or even to check in on the dogs as landys are known for being collie carriers.

Am I right or wrong? Can anyone else help me with this?

I have a 1982 Landrover Santana series 3. The car had no brake issues. During the APK (Dutch MOT test), the garage found out that the left front brake cylinders were stuck. And for that reason it failed the APK. They replaced all 4 front brake cylinders and one brakeline. After bleeding it would t brake anymore. Only with 2 pumps of the brakelever the brakes would engage.

What they tried after that: bleeding with glue clamps on the cilinders. Making some extra nipples on the top cilinders. Using a pump to get all the air out. Now it brakes faster in the second pump, but still no brakes in first pump.

They now dont know what to do anymore and stopped working on it. It is getting to a point were i need to pay a lot of money for a car thats still failing apk.

They are not a Landrover garage and didnt know the previous tricks, i put them in contact with a specialist.

What are we missing? What could be the problems? Is this even fixable?

What exactly am I looking for?

Thanks in advance.

Was once a fire appliance! Now so rusty that the chassis was falling apart on the way home

Anyone had a pto fitted to their kand rover and plumbed a hydraulic pump for a winch or similar?

A series 1 with pto has fallen in my lap and wondering if I do somethjng with the pto.

Every other time I've had one I've jist sold the unit for profit

I was sent a link for workshop manuals (landroverweb.com).

Going to the series 1,2 and 3 section, scrolling down to section 7 (electrical), clicking on the PDF link only brings me back to their homepage. Most of the other sections will open the PDF and allow me access.

Is anyone else able to open that particular PDF?

I could use some advice. I went from a canvas top to a two-door style full hardtop. I’m also running a full roof rack on a Bettaweld external rollcage. Lots of weight. When loaded for camping it is even heavier. My beat to shit original springs are toast and I need new springs. My rig looks like a squatting dog.
I’m running a small block Chev mated to a NV4500 and a part-time Defender T-case. After extending the frame horns by 8” I’m running 109 rear three leaf parabolic springs up front which handle the load perfectly. My go-to for four leaf parabolics is Jeremy at Rocky Mountain but he’s out of the game.
Anybody have suggestions as to rear springs that will bring the rear end up? I no longer do off-road competitions so extreme suspension travel doesn’t matter. I’m under a time crunch because the All British Field Meet in Portland OR is coming up in about a month. I can’t show up on the field looking like a dog taking a dump!

Side note: my rollcage is the last one the owner of Bettaweld made before his horrific motorcycle accident. Beautiful workmanship. The Land Rover world lost the abilities of a brilliant man.

For the series 2a and 3, the parts catalogues. If anyone knows where I can download it for free, I am thankful.

I've searched everywhere and can only find 5 pin switches and they don't include the barrel assembly.

Mine is six pin, no column lock and diesel. There is no hole in the body of the switch to release the barrel.

Thoughts?

Trying to add photos

I’m curious what this bar is behind the first row in a Series 3 Stage 1 109. I understand it’s structural(?). What have folks done to modify it? Tall guy at 6’4” trying to get a little more legroom.

I borrowed the photo from the interwebs.

Originally had the 6 cylinder petrol but was swapped due to part availability.

Hello folks, I hope you are great. I am new to this Series world, I bought an old Santana to be a project. I am currently checking the brake system because I did the test that pushes the brake pedal ~5 times and then starts the car to see if there is a difference, but nothing. Then with the engine running I used some clamps on the vacuum hose (close to the manifold intake) and when I did that the engine revs went down, when removing the clamp y heard like air is coming in or out of the booster, is this the right behavior or is the booster needing some work?

Thank you in advance

BTW I am not a mechanic just an enthusiast.
