Thank you everyone for your comments, the feedback & also “suggestions” are super helpful! I’ve played around with the stop lever, a heat gun, a hammer, cleaner, on, off & in between can on the lift pump, I’ve checked the filter on the injection pump & I have come to the conclusion of removing the pump for a better “inspection” - easier to work on it on the bench than in the bay. Thanks all, you’re input is most welcome 🙏
As others have said, a good buy at £500, from what i could see in the video it looks like a CAV, DPA injection pump if it is the fuel control pin could be stuck in it's bore cutting the fuel supply (common on engines stood for a long time as the diesel goes gooey), normal way to clean is remove rectangular cover linkage underneath and pin/arm and clean with carb cleaner so pin free's, or rough & ready is warm the injection pump with haidryer or hot water (soften the diesel residue) try "tapping" with a soft mallet whilst hand priming (might need assistance for that) if it fails just some time lost so go to previous method.
A very good find at that price. Nice Weller wheels and parabolic springs and replacement dampers. Someone spent a few quid on that not long before it stopped working. Overdrive is a good addition too. Looking forward to the rest of the project. Best of luck
Well… As a Landy owner myself, I appreciate the time and effort you put in sir, to bring the lady back to life ❤ Very sensible to use a brush instead of the more modern way of doin things with a pressure washer, since THAT modern tool could actually damage something underneath. As far as the holes are concerned, I thing those could be a blessing in disguise, because that way you can rinse out the frame from the inside and get all the rust and grime OUT and new protection IN … just my Idea… Looking forward for future episodes sir… Greetings everybody from Germany ✌️
Great video, got me hooked. Had one in the mid 1970's. mine was petrol, 2.5, even back then it drank the juice I begrudgingly put in. Sold it to a pig farmer and bought a car. But each to his own. Looking forward to your progress. Peace and goodwill
Great video. Penny and Reg watched with me. They think the next mouse you find should be kept as a pet. Haha. Great video can’t wait for the next one. 👍🏻
Excellent series 3 for the money, the overdrive alone would be worth more than that! I'd suggest getting a diesel specialist to recondition the pump as opposed to buying a replacement. Look forward to seeing more on this Landy!
Good luck with this one. This will be an enjoyable project seeing you bring the old girl back to being road worthy. The beauty is that you just simply unbolt the panels if the bolts will let you. As they do have their issues with the good old rust mite, as you have already seen. The Diesel without a turbo is very un fast. We used to had the odd one left over when I joined the Army. As for body work, they do tend to look better with that beaten up used look, matching panel colour would always be nice, but then you lose the character that has been there for decades.
I'm in Australia. My first "car" was a Series I Land Rover petrol. It was rather tired but it took me to all sorts of places. It had been used for beach fishing and as a result the crossmember under the gearbox was rather rusty. I moved up to a 1968 Series IIa and loved it. Subsequently I owned about 30 Land Rovers. Most were "spares" and I also bought several Range Rovers and other Rover products. That was a long time ago. At the present time I have a td5 Discovery for fun and a Subaru Outback for sensible things. I really wish I had a Series IIa "shorty" though. I had a diesel 2a which was economical but could not pull the skin of a custard. I miss it too. Mike in Oz
From across the pond: A moss green paint covered in green moss. It's great how these "Landy's" clean up and transform. First one I recall was watching Mike and EDD on WD creating a "Chelsea Tractor" from a farm plugger into which a Rover V-6(?) had been installed. Narragansett Bay
Looks fun! I'm working on a 1983 109, and drive a 1970 Series 2a. Defender doors on it by the looks of it, but the bonus is that it has an overdrive (that's worth more than £500 on it's own!)
Nice video! I can say that there is a lot of work still coming up! I can say that from my experience. But it's also great fun to do. Now about this Land Rover. It seems not to be very original. From what I can see the doors are from a Defender and so is the rear tub as the rear lights are not close to each other as with a Series 3. But still the parts are easy to find, especially in your country. To get it better looking I would try ansd find original parts. So, enjoy it! Greetings from the Netherlands. Have a great time!
The fuel tube in the tank has a stupid filter on it that when sliding upwards cuts of the flow to the entire system. Had that 2 times of which the first time took me a day to find out why the car would run and drive for short periods, the 2nd time took me a minute to figure that out. I just pushed the filter of the tube. Good luck with your nice project.
As others have already said the overdrive is worth over £500 on its own, although why anyone would fit one to a non turbo diesel is a mystery. I suppose you might use it going downhill. The great thing about a series Land Rover is that EVERY part can be replaced, even the chassis. They never die, they only fade away.
That is an absolute steal at that price. If it has a V5 then It is worth, at the bare minimum, double, if not triple, what you paid. It deserves to be rebuilt and not stripped for parts.
You know I think the biggest thing I notice about europeans doing car stuff is they never have tools. In the US you'll see drills and pressure washers and etc, but in the UK it seems like they are using their kitchen broom and a handful of randoms wrenches to work on their cars.
I’m not religious but I believe the song goes: “All things bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small” 😃 I just pulled that mouse away from its “home” - the very least I could do was send it into a field behind my home
My 2.25 diesel pump is the same after refurb the guy said once it's running that it will fill up and it did. I just bled mine at the filter and then slacked the injector pipes on the injectors crank until diesel comes out nip them up and away it goes. Give it a try I think you get an air lock in the injector leak off pipe. Ric
Nice find at that money . The Landrover itself is quite possibly a lot later than the K registration suggests . There,s more chance its an early 1980s model . Rear body is 1982 > / engine is a 5 mainbearing 2286cc diesel / its got servo brakes with the vacuum intake flap valve / all these point to it being an 82/83/84. Of course it could all have been changed in its lifetime . Many were put onto earlier V 5 logbooks to put them into the historic taxation class back in those days . Just be aware if you come to buy parts for it .
Hey, nice video ! One piece of advice for you: Change as many parts as you can to Spanish Land-Rover Santana parts, since these are a lot better than the OEM GB Land-Rover (Laro) parts. This truck dates from the era in which Laro did no longer want to invest in research and development of their Old models: the 109 and the 88; Series or not. In the late 60s they had developed the Range-Rover which had to replace the old 109 and the 88 and so the 109 and the 88 were models on their way out, never to be produced ever again, since the Range-Rover was to be their successor. Santana Laro in Spain however did not have the license to build the Range-Rover so the 109 and the 88 were their only models at the time Santana built under license. They did invest in improvement by research and development and so they changed out many OEM Biritish bad (inferior) parts and replaced them with much better parts from all over the place. In fact they started developing their own improved parts. Just like Santana developed a straight 6-cylinder Diesel, based up on their improved 2,5 liter 4 cyclinder. Also the Turbo was introduced, when in GB no Laro was available with Turbo to begin with. So I'd say; Santana this Laro and build a truck that lasts instead of breaking down all the time, which is the credo of British made Laro's to begin with.
I thought the days of a 500 quid series had gone.. Had loads in the past but prices now are getting silly... that looks a bargain for the price.. Not seen the whole video yet though 🤣
I had the same bleeding issue with mine. I primed the lift pump about 5 times fo make double she, then slackened off all the injector pipes and then just kept cranking with a good strong battery (or jumped off a running doner vehicle). Eventually fuel came through to the injectors (i don't think it helped with most of the seals on mine leaked). I've since had my pump rebuilt and it's like new again.
Looks like an absolute bargain! Minimal chassis rot, overdrive and what look like 90 doors. Bulkhead looks pretty solid, that is the only worry with these, I have had loads in the past. Mechanical stuff is a breeze, though the diesels are hateful. Personally I would stick a 200tdi in it but it's all down to what you want it for? Would I have another one? Definitely not! I love my Range Rovers too much and don't miss having a series 2 as my daily, cold in the Winter and hot in the Summer. Those hard tops make them so loud, I always kept a cab and canvas tilt on hand or just went topless during the Summer, much nicer to drive.... if you are a 5'4" Farmer with short arms and welded ankles?
Any evidence of leakage around the seals on the Injector Pump? Guessing Lucas pump; they won't tolerate Vegetable Oil and the Likes, Throttle Spindle Seal usually goes first. Can be rebuilt either self of specialist

Just to let you know it's got the wrong doors! can't take the door tops off in the summer when you want the roof off. The thing you called the steering lock was the shut off for the diesel pump (no electric solenoid and since diesel engines don't need an ignition to run you need to shut the fuel off) well worth having a look at, you can also just operate the stop arm on the pump itself before you bother taking the whole pump out!!
@@henryyandell3222 thanks for the comments. Re: the doors, yeah - I was advised the later “90” doors went on for the convenience of windy windows 😃 Re: the fuel stop, looks like by default - the arm is “engaged” and it’s pulled to “stop” the fuel - sprung so it’s always “engaged” and ready to start.

no fuel is because THE STOP ENGINE CABLE has been fannyed with!!! disconnect and boom just stall her in 4th to stop engine! ps change oil in all THREE BOXES!!! 2 diffs and 2 swivels plus oil the steering gearbox.
Bagsy I claim today's Cheif Beard award by saying "these fine workhorses." first. Has gay-plate, eight-spokes - all the signs are there. £50 says it's been sink-estate parked.
There was so much Grease/Oil/Sh**e on my Series 3 bulkhead in the engine bay I Honestly thought someone had previously undersealed it! The Injector pump needs to be bled in a particular sequence but can't for the life of me remember it off the top of my head. Sorry!
@@danielkemp3500 good call, I often find it’s the right place right time. I am very fortunate to have met the owner and his wife - such a lovely couple and we have become friends off the back of this.
First look is good, just dirty and it has had a rest. Only needs to wake up and have its chassis checked. You got that very cheap. The rear door is worth about 200 pounds alone.
I would love that except the spider but please wear gloves and a mask with those mouse dropings and i am looking forward to see this finished, thanks for the video
Have you got a secret giveaway on this video? I watched last night and I am now trying to show someone at work but the video will not play. I just get a message on the screen saying... congratulations you've won a projector
@retromechanic2238 It really is a mix, you're quite right they all unbolt, and perfectly legal to swap the entire body. The terracotta red paint on the engine shows it's post-1980. Lots of the identities swapped so they would be tax exempt, but ironically by now they would all be exempt anyway. Nice project, I've subbed and will be following 👍
I had one of those Series 3 Land Rovers in Costa Rica thank God the motor blew up what a piece of s*** spend more time working on it than driving it the motor was pretty good it's a Perkins Jackson motor in a Perkins in a Massey Ferguson tractor that's where I bought my farts half the price of trying to go through Land Rover
Bargain. I sold an old one for £500 before prices got stupid & it needed a chassis. It’s amazing the stuff parked around the countryside. There’s 2 decent David Brown tractors where you recovered the Landy from inc a 4wd. That’s worth money.
Hi fella while the handover was on the trailer would been a good job to get a hot powerwasher mot wash get yourself 20ltrs of kerosene paraffin it's brilliant for washing your mechanical stuff nice land-rover But j am a toyota fan

Cool landy!
What rust treatment do you use? I'm looking to treat something similar on a Suzuki sj410. Thanks
It's got overdrive too, and looks well worth the money!
I was just about to post the same comment!
Check the stop cable, won’t get fuel to the injectors if it’s pulled.
The random bit dangling under the column👍🏻 she’ll start then
The over drive on its own was worth it! nice find.
And the dashboard… 😂

I had one of those Series 3 Land Rovers in Costa Rica thank God the motor blew up what a piece of s*** spend more time working on it than driving it the motor was pretty good it's a Perkins Jackson motor in a Perkins in a Massey Ferguson tractor that's where I bought my farts half the price of trying to go through Land Rover
Bargain. I sold an old one for £500 before prices got stupid & it needed a chassis.
It’s amazing the stuff parked around the countryside.
There’s 2 decent David Brown tractors where you recovered the Landy from inc a 4wd. That’s worth money.
Hi fella while the handover was on the trailer would been a good job to get a hot powerwasher mot wash get yourself 20ltrs of kerosene paraffin it's brilliant for washing your mechanical stuff nice land-rover
But j am a toyota fan
Someone didn't realise what they had they could made a lot more money that £500.
What's a "Series Land Rover" ?
