Wonder if you guru's can clear sommat up for me! Would my 1975
S3 have had hazard flashers as standard?
There is a knob on the dash that don't do anything but unsure
what it is :-\

My 1975 Lightweight has them fitted, but that's a military thing
and they fitted stuff as standard before they were fitted to
civi vehicles. As far as I'm aware they do not need to be
fitted to vehicles registered before 1986. However if they are
fitted they must work.

My 1979 109 doesn't have hazards (or fog lamps or reversing
lights).

Short answer - nope, they weren't mandatory until series
production had ended however it seems Land Rover in an unusually
generous act fitted them as standard at the end, at least every
1983 and later series 3 I've seen has the centre console with
hazards (brake failure lamp and rear fog).

thinking a rear fog may be a wise addition!

So is a reverse light cos people look real shocked when you
start to reverse and they are going forward.
