The main points of concern are dealt with individually below. Tyres: It's important to raise the vehicle up on jacks and stands, sufficiently to take most of a Series Land Rover's punishing weight off its tyres. If this is not done, the tyres will tend to retain the bulge in them after the vehicle is returned to road use. There will then be a noticeable thumping from one or more wheels when on the move. Some tyres can recover automatically from the experience but others cannot and this then becomes a safety issue. Fuel: Modern fuel has more additives in it these days, particularly the unleaded type, and some are not stable in the long term. Old fuel can cause ignition problems and possible engine damage. So ideally drain the fuel tank or at least leave it with a minimum amount and completely fill the tank as soon as the vehicle is returned to the road. This serves to dilute the existing contents. Body: Series Land Rover body panels are made from aluminium alloy and so exposure to damp and rain is not a problem. The structural framework of Series Land Rovers, such as door pillars and bulkhead however, are of steel construction and therefore climate food. So, covering the vehicle and protecting it from the climate, protects the external steel components. It's the nature of a Series Land Rover to admit the climate through an impressive variety of portals. Corrosion then has the opportuntiy to continue from the inside out unless the vehicle is covered or stored indoors. Battery: There's a range of sophisticated battery charging devices available that sense the state of the battery and charge it accordingly. You can just hook your battery up to one of these and leave it alone. If however you only have a standard charger you could still 'leave it alone' by connecting it to your charger via a timer switch set to charge the battery for 15min each day. My own battery is in its fourth year of service having been charged in this manner for 3 months each year.

Inside, the metal parcel shelf was replaced with a "plastic one" and the instruments were moved to a position behind the steering wheel. There are other small refinements - new door and bonnet hinges for example. The main mechanical advance was the introduction of synchromesh on all four forward gears. However the consequent gearbox alterations make the unit less robust than that in the series IIA. This Land Rover SIII SWB HT was captured at the 1996 Canberra 4WD show. It has the "station wagon" rear windows (square cornered and sliding) and the tropical roof (double skinned). The deluxebonnet is distinguished by its rounded leading edge. Note the free wheel hubs and the winch fairlead on the "Mack" style bull-bar. (Thanks to LRC(ACT) and Karl Bossard.) Colin O's Land-Rover series three short wheel base model has a few modifications: coil springs, 253 (4.2L) V8, Nissan gearbox, Defender 110 rear axle, diff' lock, Range Rover front end. This ex-army long wheel base series three Land-Rover has lockers front and rear. Up: Land-Rover page or Series page. Back: SIIA.
