    1958 Series II 109

    That seems a tad expensive to me. (Personal opinion). I picked up a S III 109 needs much the same , i.e. rear forward out riggers an a few other odds an ends. I picked mine up for £250. Truck cab fitted full hard top and side with it also. As has been said before, it's worth what you want to...

    i seen a special series 2

    You'll find if its been working in a gas terminal it will be diesel. I once done a job in an oil refinery complex and my boss wasn't allowed in cos her car was petrol. Something about the spark ignition on the petrol.

    Missing VIN Plate

    Land Rover Vin plates are available on Ebay. Not sure how much but they are available for both long and short wheelbase versions. They have all the info on them except a chassis number. Not sure if it gets stamped on once its bought or if its a case of stamping it yourself.

    110 Grille and Bonnet

    I was on another site looking at body panels and it seems all the other front end panels are the same between the S3 and the 90/110. Only problem I can see is the bonnet locking panel. Worst case I think the origional could be left in situ to hold the rad, anyone know any...

    fuel tank

    As far as I can make out you need a station wagon fuel tank. They are the same in the S2, S2a and S3. They mount into the rear crossmember and the crossmember above the rear axle. As far as I can make out they are interchangable but i dont think the 90 or the 110 tanks are the same. Thats not to...

    110 Grille and Bonnet

    Hi all, I have been trawling through a few different Land Rover sites over the past few days. I came across a vehicle that is origionally a S3 109. The owner had fitted a 110 bonnet and moved the rad grille out to the front to square it all off. (Sorry it was a 110 grille) Is this just a matter...

    what can i do to soften my ride ?

    Only thing i would suggest is to remove the parabolics and fit a set of standard springs. Sounds to me the springs you have fitted have no give in them and their a bit too hard for the road. I wonder what the condition of them are like, are they new springs? My friend has a S1 which he fitted...

    td5 5-7 seat conversion

    Check back a few pages on the forum here. There was a good thread about the exact same subject. I do know that the 7 seater Disco is whats known as type 7 approved on the air suspension. There was never a 7 seater made by land rover on coils, they were all on air. You do need to check your...

    Battery position.

    Cant see it being a problem for MOT. The only thing they ask for is that the battery is securly clamped into position and wont move about. Another thing is that the terminals are not going to come into contact with any metal objects that would cause a short between the terminals........
