Hi Map1275, From my knowledge I thought they are called a "Land Rover Series 3 V8 Stage One". Sorry if I got it wrong but I am only trying to identify the vehicle correctly and "Stage One" is the easiest way to do so when describing it. I assume that is why the Forum is called &q...

Stage 1 parts come up fairly often on trademe. Chase down a steering box from someone who is wrecking. eg cablelogger (Carl was wrecking an ex-army Stage 1 last year), search for record 482816302 (he might have a steering box too). Thanks for that disco2hse. Is cabelogger on the forum? I had a look...

Thanks map1275 for the good news and bad news. Good to hear you can still purchase the shaft but I didn't think it would be quite that much money. Any idea on a parts supplier to contact for the shaft with the mechanical advantage. Am I right in my decision to replace the shaft with the original mec...

help needed

Hi All, I thought I would throw this out to the forum on the off chance someone may be able to help me source some parts for my 1981 Stage One truck cab. I have had no luck sourcing a Stage One steering box in Australia and don't have enough knowledge about who to contact in the UK to find one. Mine...

Rear Salisbury and front is Rover (unique to Stage1) both 10 spline and 3.54:1 Thanks Mrs Bingham for the information. I thought the front axle diff combo may have a more identifiable name than Rover, however it seems that it is just that. I was looking through parts catalogues the other day trying...

Thanks for the post. Very interesting video and I learnt a lot. I am still unsure however as to what type of original front diff and front axle a Stage One has fitted. What is the name for this diff and axle combination? The rear is a Salisbury but are they 10 spline or 24. I have been told that the...

Ten grand is a lot of money but still a lot cheaper than a well sorted Defender and a hell of a lot more fun. From my own observations Series Land Rovers and more so the Stage One are actually increasing in value. I purchased mine about 11 years ago for $1500 and have been offered a lot more than th...

What is the colour of your car stated on the Dulux decal on the top of your radiator? Hi Map1275, I will have a look at the paint code but it will have to wait as the Stage One is in the workshop in bits however I did have an interesting response from a REMLR member named Gary on the AULRO Forum. H...

So you have actually checked that this conversion or any of the others will pass the West Australia vehicle modification scheme? As it won't pass the Queensland scheme or the pending national system. Thanks for the tip. I will look into the red tape issues as I am in no hurry to do the conversion. ...

Thanks for getting back to me Spen. I appreciate your offer regarding the help for sourcing parts which I am sure I will take you up on in the future. Have you spoken to Timm Cooper yourself regarding the kits suitability for the Stage One front axle? Are you keen to go through with the modification...

No not jumping to conclusions as I can't see the importance of claiming military heritage in a vehicle. I am just interested in knowing more about Stage One Land-Rovers like most people on this forum. Would love to hear from someone who owns one of those two vehicles in the images. Out of interest, ...

Thanks for the REMLR information. I just had a look and saw that the Navy appears to have purchased at least 2 of these vehicles same colour as mine for beach clearance work. I am not claiming mine to be an ADF Stage One, but am certainly more interested now in finding out more about their role in t...

No proof other than the colour made me ask the question. Do you know what features or chassis numbers would indicate an Australian Military Stage One? Also can you give me the link to the REMLR website as I would be interested in having a look.

Regards Warrick.

Thanks Geoff. I have had a look and all the parts for a Stage One are listed. Just have to get my head around all the suffix's and make sure I have the right part number for a 1981 Stage One V8. This is a great resource to have available online. And yes map1275 my Stage One is an Australian Leyland ...
