Nick's Land Rover - Series III Rebuild

Welcome to my Series III Restoration Site

This site is dedicated to my eternal fiddling and tweaking of my 1972 Series III 109 inch Land Rover.

I bought it in February 1992 and immediately set about a few repairs and a bit of tidying up and 15 years later I’m still working on it! After years of minor rebuilds, in 2004 the discovery of some major corrosion led to a full ground-up rebuild. As this started, the specification started to creep, and many new features have being incorporated.

Please note, I am not a trader in vehicles or parts, and am not a garage providing repair services. This site is to offer inspiration, technical information and ideas to other Land Rover enthusiasts, helping others learn from my experiences. If you come across any sales of vehicles, parts, tools or even non-LR related items using NicksLandRover as a trading name or web address, and there have been a few, it has nothing to do with me and could be a scam, so be cautious. If you do come across any, please contact me.

Thanks for reading – I hope you find the information on this site useful!

I got the MudStuff dash back in today, along with the modified Carling Tech switches and the CB and stereo in their new positions.  The CB is wired up except for the antenna, which has been left hanging out of the front of the dash alongside the unit together with a small cable to connect [...]

New Dash Modifications

Sunday, January 24th, 2010

I recently aquired a CB for the 109. I got it very cheaply from a member of a forum I frequent, but it’s in as-new condition. This is to be fitted to the MudStuff centre dash, as I don’t have room for it on the roof and want a tidy appearance. I [...]
