It is probable that your systems will vary from the NZ FFR's. I have a wiring diagram that is pretty accurate to our system here, but it is military, 24 V (100A and 60A) and includes the dual charging systems, noise suppression, etc. So it is probably not very useful for you. Anyway here is a wiring...

That was only on the standard series vehicles, II and IIa for example.

I'll see what I can do about photos.

Switch on the dash, with two fuel pumps, etc. Quite good really, you have a redundant system in place in case of them fails :)

Oh right. Haven't seen that around.

My FFR has one under the driver's seat and one at the rear. The filler pipes are both on the right.

The vehicle batteries are located under the passenger seat.

When you say you want an auxiliay fuel tank, are you referring to the rear tank?

This is the nearest I could find. Is this what you meant?

So it does, well spotted :)

The Haynes manual has information about what oils need to be changed and how to do it for the V8's, but having a copy of the handbook would be great.

Wonder if the folks at Solihull might some stuffed into the back of some shed...

For the V8 info you need the V8 Supplement.

I didn't know there was a specific Stage 1 manual??? IS that true?

Second, the brakes. I remember first driving mine and wondering how Land Rover ever managed to sell these things legally! V8, drum brakes, no servo? Before there were disc brakes there were power assisted drum brake, and before that, hydraulic, and before that mechanical, and before that, a stick h...

A few real beginner questions because I've bought it and pick it up in 3 weeks - how do you drive it? :oops: Clutch in to engage and disengage overdrive? Do you need to stop to engage the diff lock? With the centre diff locked 1 front and 1 rear wheel always have drive, is that right? Just a couple...

Horst, how does your road licensing work in the Netherlands? While anyone in NZ can convert from any type of fuel to another you won't get the changes certified as road safe unless they pass a rigorous check. And it won't get a warrant of fitness unless it has been certified, so it'll be illegal on ...

Body-wise it looks very straight (compared with George anyway ;) ). The things you have mentioned just indicate a lack of regular maintenance on the mechanicals and should be easily fixable over a few weekends (if you do it yourself), or fairly inexpensive if you get a reputable mechanic to do the j...

Is the brake overhaul kit the same as the 6 cylinder Series 3s? Unless the Series iii in question has a servo and 3" drum brakes, probably not. I thought that's what Stage 1s all had? Jeez, I'm such a newbie to this :oops: Yes, that is what stage 1's have, but not all series 3's are stage 1's ...
