I have a Series IIa, though yet to see if I have Series III wiring. There was a fair bit of cross over at the end of Series IIa and Series III, I think you'll be on the Series III wiring.

I have the Haynes manual, and I will also be attacking my wiring soon. There's deinitely something wrong with my headlights, they appear to be wired in series...
I have a real mess of wires under the bonnet, probably due to the engine conversion that has taken place in the past.

Check under the steering wheel for the fuses, if you have four fuses in there (not counting spares), then you're on Series III wiring. Do you have fog lights and fog light switch?

Do any of your electrics actually work at the moment?
Visit this site http://www.clifton.nl/index.html?calvin.html with your VIN, and it will tell you what your Landrover is, and hopefuly if exmod...

Rob.
