Peter4456 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I wonder if anyone can help with the following questions please (it's a 1980 Series 3 FFR): Tool box in the engine bay - are the hinges at the top or bottom? (I've seen both!) What's the correct route for the windscreen washer pipes? (the washer bottle is on the wing) is the t piece in the centre of the bonnet? Thanks in advance!

fv1609 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Tool box in the engine bay - are the hinges at the top or bottom? (I've seen both!) Peter the hinges are at the bottom. That way it stays open, the other way round you have to hold it up for it to remain open Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WCMatt Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 So that's what goes in that nook on my SIII lwt! :embarrassed::cool2: Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruxy Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 The older Lightweight with the "Jack-in-box" located under the rear nearside wheel-arch , far better to keep your sandwiches cool & fresh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rover8FFR Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I've still a few 24v FFR parts if you are stuck Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My lwt has that box... ' been looking at a lot of pics of lwts and noticed that a lot of them don't (makes me feel kind of special :cool2:).

ruxy Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Always quite a demand for early & late jack boxes , civvy ownership seems to demand both fitted ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WCMatt Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I'm a brand new Landrover owner. My first rover being a S-III lwt. So I'm still fideling with what's what. I can say it's been a very long time since I was excited about working on a truck. Just wish I had both lots of time & money to do so......

Peter4456 Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 And another question from me! Where / how does the jack handle fit for storage? - I thought it was under the bonnet with the starting handle but I can't see how it fits (perhaps I've got the wrong jack handle!). What does the correct jack for a 1980 Lightweight look like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruxy Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 The jack handle (metal) fits with the starting handle under the bonnet, The two clips are shaped such with rubber anti-vibration pads (although new are delivered with corrugated card at this position also - stop paint scratching LoL. Find the hole in bonnet rib with large red grommet - for the handle location (crank) of starting handle. The wood (as in tree) jack handle - there is no known stowage LoL http://www.lrseries.com/shop/product/listing/6820/543301-WOODEN-JACK-HANDLE.html?search=wood%20jack%20handle&page=1 I should have photographs of all this , also correct jack , will post up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruxy Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 btw , probably the RAREST L'wt tool type thingie is the steel tube BZP plated that stows in the terry clips , tub side of seat backrest , bet you don't have one LoL You are not complete without one ! I have only ever seen just ONE !! didn't know I had one , sort of half knew it was there but thought it was some sort of tent-pole of antenna extension. Best of it was , I had been looking for one to measure length , OD & wall-thickness to replicate exact some fakes LoL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruxy Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 What is it , unobtanium pole ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruxy Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 These jacks when issued - they have the truck VRM branded on the base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruxy Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 The very one , as seen in action in the L'wt book by Mark Cook , defo. still fitted to new L'wt until at least - end of 1980 that I know of . GRAB RAIL 346118 Now - to release it , you have to remove a upper body side , but it is intended for use in stripped truck mode when both upper-body sides & the upper tail-gate not fitted. Presently the truck is sardine packed in a storage garage & I can't get it off. I suspect it is just a common tube size , for strength - probably not a seamed conduit or similar. Some time I intend copy of a few, don't think they are available. Suspect discontinued towards the end of production , when they stopped fitting such as the front bumperettes - there again , there was a use and it remained , the practicalities LoL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
