Specific engine codes should be cross-referenced with the manual. Performance Horsepower: Variable based on engine variant (e.g., ~62-75 hp for 2.25L petrol, ~52-68 hp for 2.25L diesel). Torque: Variable based on engine variant (e.g., ~100-115 lb-ft for 2.25L petrol, ~90-105 lb-ft for 2.25L diesel). Fuel System Fuel Delivery: Primarily carbureted for petrol engines (e.g., Zenith, SU); diesel engines utilize injection pumps. Fluid Specifications Engine Oil Type: Refer to manual for specific API service classification and viscosity (e.g., SAE 20W-50, SAE 30 or SAE 15W-40 depending on climate). Fluid Capacities Engine Oil Capacity: Refer to manual, typically around 4.5 - 5.5 liters (including filter). 🔧 Transmission Standard Transmission Type: 4-speed manual transmission with selectable 2WD/4WD (transfer case). Optional Automatic Transmission: While automatic transmissions existed in later Land Rover models, the 1975 Series 3 primarily featured manual gearboxes. The manual's inclusion of 'Automatic Transaxle System' suggests it may cover rare factory options or later adaptations, but manual is the default. Features Transfer Case: Robust low-range transfer case for off-road capability, integral to the drivetrain. Fluid Specifications Gearbox Oil: Refer to manual for specific GL rating and viscosity (e.g., GL-4 SAE 80W-90 or SAE 90). Transfer Case Oil: Refer to manual for specific GL rating and viscosity (often same as gearbox). 📐 Dimensions Exterior Wheelbase: Commonly 88-inch (short wheelbase) and 109-inch (long wheelbase). Specific body styles (e.g., Station Wagon) will have different overall lengths. Weights Curb Weight: Typically ranges from 3,300 lbs (1500 kg) to 4,200 lbs (1900 kg) depending on configuration. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating: Refer to manual; generally around 5,000 lbs (2270 kg) for SWB and 6,000 lbs (2720 kg) for LWB. 🛡️ Safety Features Ratings Crash Safety: Vehicle design predates modern crash test standards. Emphasis on robust construction rather than crumple zones or advanced restraint systems. Passive Features Seat Belts: Provision for seat belts, though early models may have had lap belts as standard. Manual will detail inspection and replacement. 💡 Technology Features Infotainment Infotainment System: Basic instrumentation: speedometer, odometer, fuel gauge, oil pressure gauge, ammeter/voltmeter, temperature gauge. No modern infotainment features. Driver Assistance Driver...
