I dont see the point in a Galv chassis. My S3 is 27 years old and when I bought it it still had the original factory paint on the chassis. It needed some welding. I figure if you bought a standard chassis and waxoyled it it'd last a damn site longer than 27 years. I just dont see how you'd recoup the costs or see the benefits of a Galv chassis unless you lived another 40 years. /my 2 cents

I've got an LWB but it's a similar operation. I cant see how you could do it with the body on. You need to cut the chassis and weld the new one. You wont have access to the top part of the chassis to cut and weld.

I've just bought a complete steering column for a 300TDi...it was dirt cheap so I grabbed it, havent picked it up yet though. I'm wanting to fit power steering using a Landy parts. Will the 300 column straight fit into a Series 3 and mate up with a PS box? Any ideas or recommendations greatly apprecaited

Look towards the Injection pump timing would be my guess

I'm probably stating the obvious but if you know the month and year you could order a back issue.

That reassuring, thanks Ole!!

Interesting. I'll blank it off and run it over the weekend and see how she runs

As you know, on the Series the inlet manifold sits on the exhaust manifold. I'm thinking of fabricating my own exhaust manifold from stainless steel. Do the manifolds have to be joined or can I blank the inlet off? Why are the joined?

One of my adjusters would do the same (push the shoe away from vehicle rather than towards the drum) I was getting desperate as my MOT was due within a few hours. Turns out I had my brakes on wrong - last guy who owned it really fudged it. Some guy at LRO posted this and all was well with the world http://www.expeditionlandrover.info/landRo..._rearbrakes.htm Hope it helps you as much as it did me
