Series 3 Land Rover Basic Specifications

Whilst the basic specifications of the Series II/IIA were often due to demands from owners for more load carrying capacity and better overall performance, the changes to Series III specifications were largely focussed upon functionality and conveniencedue due to compettion from the increasingly popular Japanese 4x4 market.

Fuel tanks
All fuel tank capacities, both petrol & diesel, are 12 US gal(45litre) except for the 109in 6cyl & 109in Station Wagon, which are 19 US gal(73litre)

Turning circle
88inch 42ft(12.8m)
109inch 48ft(14.6m)
Larger tyres increase the turning circle. If larger tyres are fitted and there is a danger of the tyres contacting the leaf springs, then the turning circle may be reduced again by adding wheel spacers. These allow more lateral movement of the wheels without fouling the leaf springs.

Fuel consumption
88inch 2286cc petrol 15mpg (US)
88inch 2286cc diesel 24mpg (US)
109inch 2286cc petrol 15mpg (US)
109inch 2286cc diesel 23mpg (US)
109inch 2625cc petrol 12mpg (US)
Sustained urban use will lower these figures. Use of four-wheel drive significantly reduces them.
