Hi Kevin, you are very welcome. 👍

Wonderful! :) I've just bought an 88" '74 Series 3 in Marine Blue like yours after a complete ground-up restoration. The 2.25 is now running 9:1 compression and extractors. Torque is huge. Incredibly lucky, I feel privileged. Mine has the full Exmoor soft top conversion. I can't wait to start adventuring in it, and toodling around town in absolutely no hurry at all. :)

Hi, thank you.

Great weather for a drive 🙂 I just unbolt my mud shield to adjust the steering box. It is only a few screws and doesn't need doing that often. I find steering play is more usually caused by worn track rod ends - there are quite a few so any play in them adds up. Get someone to wiggle the steering wheel backwards and forwards continually while checking each one for play. Do that visually, don't put your fingers anywhere near! Graham

Thanks Graham, thanks for that. All the ends are new, so I think it’s the box. My mud shield is sealed to the inner wing.

@@My911 have a look at the steering idler. Some are a pain to get oil in, so this can be neglected over the years. A worn one will really impact on steering possibly more than a typical box (imo)

Look great Joël and looking forward to see some similar footage of the 996 !

Thanks, I really enjoyed that. We were talking about our Landies at work today (we're all Rover drivers..) and couldn't come up with a specific reason why we really should like them, but all agreed that we just do, and would sooner take the Rover than our comfortable modern motors.. WRD meanwhile awaits a gearbox swap, can't wait to go for a drive again. Yours sounds in fine fettle.

I've not seen my little blue S3 for over year - it took a while for the garage to get the restoration so this is making me miss it! The garage are sorting out the engine (injectors, pumps etc), replacing and fabricating panels and chassis parts, then a full respray. I've had pictures of the rolling chassis and bodywork covered in fresh primer... Maybe I'll get it back for Christmas!

Hi, thanks. Worth doing the timing from scratch along with tappet spacing. Etc. Also, the winter effects the carb mixture a little. Some owners have summer and winter settings for their carb. Especially if it’s a Webber (like mine)

It's been a while since we have seen an overview of the entire project. Have to say you've restored it exactly as I would have, leaving the history, bumps and bruises and memories preserved, while going over the mechanicals and making the interior a nice place to be. I found your channel a few years back while looking to buy one myself, what you have is pretty much exactly what I was looking for, right down to the colour year and spec. Great to see it on the road being enjoyed.

Great video Joel, I too am missing driving mine, which Is almost identical as you may remember. Have you thought about going for defender tubeless original style rims? For me they are the best compromise for original looking with the benefit of modern tyre acceptability and not having to mess around with inner tubes. Kind regards from England.

Hi, remind me what’s with yours, off the road? The rims is a good idea but more expense. I’ll probably do it at some point though, and swap over the the Goodyear tyres from the wolf rims. Over in the UK for. Grist mad so looking forward to that. Nothing beats Christmas in England. 👍
