    Bad vibes - Suspension Related

    Since I've owned my LR3, I've always had a bad vibe front the passenger front. Mainly in the steering wheel. I always thought it was bad upper control arms or whatever. So I went about going through the entire suspension. The vibration is STILL present. Here is what I've done: Replaced: New LCA...

    Damaged air hose?

    Just replaced my struts (and other suspension parts, it needed it). After I got everything together, I cranked the engine and let the air suspension re-fill. The air line to the strut then blew out of the new air strut. I've got a pic attached of what I saw. I was so pissed, I left. Any...

    FS: XZL pattern tires on Series Steelies

    Hi all, Got three tires that look like the XZL tread pattern mounted on Rover Series 3 16" rims (16J, I believe). Figure they would look awesome on a trailer. They hold air. Wheels probably need to be repainted. Tubes are still in there. Located in Atlanta, GA. $75 for each tire/wheel.

    Spinoff: Anyone have any luck with Superwinches??

    So the thread about summit racing selling the Superwinches for cheap made me think about seeing Superwinches in action. Overall, they seem to suck badly. Either solenoids or motors dying. Not just on rovers either, jeeps as well. Am I just the Dark Prince of superwinches or do they genuinely suck?

    Sailboat rules for VA coast?

    In two weeks I am visiting my friend who lives on the VA coast. I'll be dragging up a sailboat and plan on sailing out in the sea (if the weather and seas permit). I'll be carrying a whistle and flares, anything else I need? Boat is under 15 feet so I don't think I need registration. Any...

    So I am getting my own car insurance in the next month or so.

    Unusual Brake Dragging problem

    I have an unusual brake problem on my 1973 Series 3 109. Truck has 11" brakes on all four corners. One of the front brakes drags but the dragging goes away when I pull the tire off. Something about bolting the wheel onto the hub makes the brake drag. I haven't had time to look through it...

    Wheel bearing question

    I broke the little lock tab that goes between the lock nuts that hold the wheel bearings in. Is there any alternate part I can go get from the local auto parts store or do I need call up a TNTLR? Thought I'd ask. I really need my truck running right now, other car is crapping out.

    Defender steering wheel on series?

    Quick question: will a defender steering wheel fit on a series steering column? Since I got power steering, the big wheel is just too much to deal with. I figure I could get a defender wheel or equivalent. Thanks.
