Hello,
After a 3 year break from landy ownership my old land rover series 3 109 safari (ex kuwait, rust free chassis) with derbyshire turbo/intercooler 2.5 transit engined (fast) TIC parabolics/Koni suspension may be back on my drive for a lot less than I first paid and subsequently sold it for - talking sub £800 with MOT and tax needing not that much.
I have a few questions before I go ahead and buy:
1, The weak point has always been the gearbox and I now wonder if it's possible to replace the std landrover 4 speeder with a 5 speed? Does anyone know if this is possible and if so what/where/how much etc?
2, The rear suspension looks to have dropped a few inches(tough life carting a trailer around) could this mean new shocks/parabolics or is there another fix like a rebuild of the parabolics or is it most likely to be the koni's?
That's all. TIA
Adam
