Every time my 109 SIII Truck Cab causes me some headaches I visit Seriously Series to get inspired again. Now with winter just around the corner and salted roads looming on the horizon my Landy soon will be locked away for a while. Time to come here and enjoy some Australian sun :-)
Hi Hein. Yes, sadly we are unable to get the blue shirts which we use on to our online store as they are a locally sourced item here in Australian and are relativity expensive. We will keep you posted we come up with a solution. Kind regards, Geoff
@@seriouslyseriesaustralia Hi Geoff, thanks for the quick response. Perhaps, you also might consider alternative colours like the classic khaki or dark brown. Heinz
I have a s3 1975 109 2.25 I’m just starting on it. (It has a lot of rust and a blown head gasket) lots of good ideas thanks!!!Did you ever contemplate a tdi 200 or 300 swap ??
Hi Gadget. To be honest, no. The 2.25 ltr works well for the kind of adventures which we do as it is simple, tough and can be fixed with a oily rag and screw driver. However fitting a 200 or 300 tdi would be a interesting project. Cheers Geoff
Great look around Geoff the vehicle seems extremely well prepared for remote travel i am wondering why you don't have a fan cowl to assist with air flow but other than that you have obviously got a great result as you seem to be able to get there and back. Looking forward to more videos.
Hi Geoff. Loved the work around, those seat covers look great, I’d be very interested in a set of those. Fed up will my legs sticking to the vinyl seats 😂
Hi James. I have placed a link below to the Grabme Gear website and where you can get in touch with Jimmy. Just mention Seriously Series and he will take care of you. Cheers Geoff www.grabmegear.com/
@@seriouslyseriesaustralia that’s Geoff. I’ve giving Jimmy a call and he is going to get me some more information. Really appreciate the link. I did mention the channel and how good they looked in your Rover. Thanks again. Keep up the content. Love seeing old Land Rover still doing what they were made for!!
Great content! Love how you keep on upgrading the 88.Are the arb lockers the standard lockers with 10 spline? Many told me the crown wheel wouldn’t fit, but always felt that can’t be true. May I ask why you didn’t get a 24 spline arb diff? I understand that usually halfshafts are the limiting factor, but since yours are custom made…
Hi Simon. This is a subject we are yet to cover. Depending on what series of Rover diffs you have you will need a spacer between the crown wheel and the airlocker unit, you will not need this on later diffs. We kept it the diff center as 10 spline, and yes sourcing axles becomes a problem and this is a problem if we snap one, where as the set up we currently have we can change it back to fit the standard axles in the field. We have modified the Series to refine it not, to try and over complicate it. I hope this helped. Cheers Geoff
@@seriouslyseriesaustralia Hey Geoff, thanks for the advise! super excited on your locker episode then! Your 10 spline explanation absolutely makes sense, didnt think about that.
Hi Geoff, great video as always-Thanks. Was wondering how the HNJ/SU setup is running. Are you happy with engine start up/response and economy relevant to the old Zenith? Cheers, Andrew
Hi Andrew The SU/ HIF 44 is a great refinement to the Series Land Rover. Better acceleration and power. As the motor is still being sorted after issues I can’t comment on fuel economy for sure. Kind regards, Geoff
Good day Geoff, love the content of your video's. What make diff lock did you install in your Series 3 Land Rover? I am from South Africa and would like to install a diff lock in my 1979 Series 3 109. The internet is not really helping in finding a supplier for such an old vehicle.
Hi Petrus. We currently run the ARB airlockers in the front and rear. I believe they are the R11 or R15 configuration. I would suggest having a look on John Craddock as they sell the complete kit and this is much easier than trying to deal with ARB. Kind regards, Geoff
Hi Matt. Good point, though these springs have e a different profile and load rating, so the give a smooth ride when they aren’t carrying a load. Cheers Geoff
great video geoff, two questions- first: on the driverdoor there is a little door, for what is it? second: living in colombia i am experience some really high temperature inside the cabin- must be the same in australia. what do you do to cool the inside of the car, beside open the window and the front inlet? thx and greetings from s.a.
Hi bernd. They flaps on the tide are kick flaps to let additional air into the cabin. We usually take the door tops off and this keeps the temp in the cab at a okay temperature. Kind regards, Geoff

Cheers Amatobo, glad to hear these videos are helping. Kind regards, Geoff
I'm really enjoying watching you refine your Series 3, your simple, rugged and repairable ethos is admirable!
Hi Tom. Cheers mate, it is important to these vehicles going. Kind regards Geoff
Great to see someone loving landrovers in Australia, Great video, from chester England 🇬🇧 where the Roman's once lived.
You have upped your game significantly. Great to see support of local business.
Great informative video, many thanks! I love your videos on your Series 3.
Your Series 3 is another champion to have on your team,best wishes as you continue your fun expeditions🙂
Many thanks Wayne, it is differently a character in it's own right. Cheers Geoff
Loaded down with water and “other fermented things”! Lol
😂🤣 I caught that.
I should probably upgrade my springs as well.🧐
Gotta get you previsions sorted :). Cheers Geoff
Makes me miss my 67 scout even more
Thanks for another great walkaround Geoff!
Thanks Brett. Great to see your out exploring. Cheers Geoff
Hi Geoff, great vid again. Just had a look on your merchandise shop, but did not find the blue shirts. Cheers Heinz

@@seriouslyseriesaustralia Hi Geoff, thanks for the quick response. Perhaps, you also might consider alternative colours like the classic khaki or dark brown. Heinz
Thank you for the overdrive information - I didn't know about Romer. I'll 100% be ordering a new overdrive!
A great video, for some reason I had missed this one.
Great video ,it would be really interesting to see a video about the setup and tuning of the SU carb in more detail.
Hi Conor. We will endeavor to cover that subject later on down the track. Cheers Geoff

Where did you get the modified carb setup?
Hi Ed. From James and the team at HNJ engineering in the UK, a very well made piece of kit. Kind regards Geoff

From South Africa I seriously doubt that Dire-Straights smoked hemp.....
Just saying...😅
hi geoff you mentioned you had a lwb spring at rear with an added leaf. could you just run 1 tonne springs as they are 11 leaf?

Hi Pat. Sadly I don't it is a older version hammer tone which they don't make anymore. Kind regards, Geoff
