Devon & Cornwall green laning thread

[Turboman]

Ahhhh now i see what you mean!
Yes a proper 110 would be nice actually, although I'm not a fan of having the second row of seats, I'd like just the big tray area or a tilt. Mmmmm now a tilt 110 for the summer ..........

I thought i was going to be away for a few years doing this job so it would have just crumbled again. Still, gives me the chance to dream of landies again

Muds,

Glad to hear it, should see you all after Christmas then hopefully

90/110 came in truck cab, you can fit a canvas tilt Also full canvas, hard top etc. Usually much cheaper than station wagons too!

Series 3 in the Briton this week, didn't sound too silly for the money either. And a 90 with windows in the hard top and 200Tdi, probably worth a look anorl. Shame Ive got three motors already!

I know, just what i thought, even on the official ex mod sales they are 9,500, unregistered!!!!! You could get a really nice 90 for that!!!!

Land Rover, Wolf 90 300Tdi Soft Top RHD, #68723 - MOD Sales, Military Vehicles & Used Ex MOD Land Rovers for Sale

Yes I guess they are this years release there's a lot of them out there on the second hand market.. Registered. Was speaking to turboman earlier and j know of a series 2a diesel 1966 free road tax and been told it's relativly tidy for £1500

I think I want to go coils this time. I loved the series and still miss it but a few creature comforts would be nice if I'm going to keep it for a while.

 

[monkfish24]

Would have been interested to have a look at this if I was home. Obviously would have needed work but I'm not afraid of that at all, would rather rebuild myself and I'll know the standard it's been done to.

Course you want coils ...now you're talking some sense ..
Are you back to Kernow for good or is the job still there after xmas?

 

[monkfish24]

Maybe not the one i posted, had a proper look at it and too much for me.

Muds, yes hopefully. I'm trying to get a job in Cornwall if i can but might end up contracting up country and home on weekends but we will have to see about. I really want a job with first great western in Penzance or Seacore but they don't come up very often.

If you know anyone in recruiting then yes please! I've sent them a CV and they say on the website that if you don't hear anything within two weeks then you are not needed.

:fingers crossed:

I might scour the internet for a 300tdi lump, get it sent to my house and then whatever i buy will end up being a tdi

I think dorm 300tdis have electric fuel systems and I believe they have a EGR which can cause problems, I don't think early 300 or200 have any major electrics

Right all suggestions for a pub meet, date , venue, time e.g breakfast, `brunch , Lunch , cream tea , high tea , dinner , Supper ....or all of the above ..

Bring maps , capes and masks ...

oops sorry ..wrong forum ..ound:

 

[monkfish24]

Ummmm muds, thios is land rovers, not land doggers..... Fnar fnar!

Cheers Martyn from what i remember, the 300tdi just has one electrical connection for the fuel isolator on the whole block? Certainly less electronics than the td5?

I thought the pub at Scorrier was as good as any we have been to, food and beer were good, and its quiet enough to spread the maps out.

How about Thurs Oct 30? Is that ok for everyone?
