Checked both of ours over last weekend ready for the Billing ( farm ) show in two weeks time and today i went to move mine and realised i had or thought i had a bad water leak where the landy had been parked all week but it turned out to be a fuel leak off pipe that had split, there was enough on the pipe to cut back and refit but will replace them all before we go ☹️

Good job 👍

Haha 😀

Cheer's missingsid driving them both to Billing in two weeks time 😁

I think i've sorted it i've just jacked them both up S3 is still empty but 2a has all the camping gear in it and couldn'd be bothered to take it out but both seem to jack up the same 11"ish so think with weight in it my paras flex the same as std springs

When i first got into series landy's and replaced the springs i used Paddocks for replacement springs as well as other parts and as there was a vast difference in price between BP and OEM std springs which i think was British springs back in the 80's / 90's i always went for BP std springs then i think after getting back into classic cars for a few years then going back to series landys again paras came along but was a bit pricey so again i fitted std BP springs but later went to GME paras as i think Paddocks had started selling GME stuff then which at the time i thought was ok and ran them for about 4 years then sold the landy as i started to get into coil sprung landy's and then later went back to series landy's again and replaced the springs during the rebuild with GME paras then we got my sons S3 and replaced the springs with GME std springs and this is what we've found 🤔

Can't wait for billing now 😁

Thanks Snagger, yes that is correct, so after billing it looks like i will be changing springs ☹️

Yes to the S3 on std springs and better articulation than my 2a on paras but no to the S3 being heavier as the S3 88 is an empty truck cab and my S2a 88 is an empty van 🤔 But one thing i have noticed is the S3 has a lot more body roll than the 2a 😕

Thank's CD, yeah i'm looking at fitting a roof tent at some point and will probably go back to std GME springs as i want to put camping stuff in the back as well but i was very suprised of what i found as i always thought paras would give better articutation even though the rears are 3 leaf and fronts are 2 leaf, and i've not long changed from std shocks to longer shocks thinking it was the shocks that was the problem as i had the std shocks in the garage when fitting the paras, now i know ☹

Hi guys In the garage over the weekend i noticed that one of the rear halfshaft gaskets was leaking on my sons S3 88 so on Saturday i decided to replace the gasket and when jacking up the landy under the shocker plate and i noticed that i could jack the landy up at least twice as much as i can jack up my S2a 88 till the opposite tyre starts to lift, the S3 is on std multi leaf GME springs and my S2a is on GME Parabolics and both have 235's fitted and both are used on road only and the S3 feels more softer ride, any idea's please 🤔

Tried the bbq out last night with neighbours

And we did it in the garage with not much light

Yeah it's a colour I've always wanted but back in the day when I off roaded them I used to see them going red if they went through red muddy water and it seemed to stain them and showed up on all limestone ones but now I just use it for road use only so decided to do it in limestone

Yeah i know but its a farmers field with no electric hook up and anywhere else we go we have electric hook up so the genny will be used for other stuff and billing shows but if we do go ahead with the roof tent then we mite put a inverter in and make it into an overlander but will see 🙂

Some pic's of the genny

Nice can't wait to see the build 👍

Sorry its a bit late as i forgot ☹️

Got the chairs now, got the bbq / firepit and we have just recieved the genny we won on ebay 😁 A pic of the bbq / firepit and no its not electric 😁

How do you find 1st and 2nd i found them to high even after refitting the 4 7.1 diff back in to test so in the end i removed the HRTC replaced it with a std transfer box and refitted the 3 5.4 diff which i found tons better but even though it will do 80+ it sounds like it needs an o/d ☹️

Hi guys I Limo tinted my rear windows today 😀

I have them on mine

I am now a National Council for Metal Detecting ( NCMD ) card holder so i can start trying to get permissions to go metal detecting on fields 😁

Yeah i think if we get one it will be one of those invertor ones
