Nice Picture thanks for that... I sold all my Excess wheels over the weekend, lovely chap drove from Durham to Wilmslow to collect the tall 7.50 Wheels, Tonka Toy ones also sold - priced em fairly chap on eBay...

I've got the lamps and adjusters but not the out Shrouds... any one got a couple I could purchase... to suit these - so it's the outer bit - shrouds I need - think part number is : 264581 Thanks in advance... Jonny

I've got that Ford Diesel Engine Fitted which is a beast (see thread!), really need an Overdrive - don't mind which as long as it fits standard box... Located Wilmslow and will collect... Thanks in advance. Jonny

Great, thanks mate... makes since and I've just dug the invoice out and it was replaced by a Diesel specialist in 2004 and probably only done a few thousand miles since then... It does start on the button. I've got some Engine Sound proofing arrived now so I'll get too quietening it down soon...

OK - even though its raining I went back out and got these, think this replaced a while back - I'll dig out the invoice... No idea what make/brand it is...

Told you I wasn't a Diesel Guru! Back to the garage - thanks... still learning

Here you go! never been asked that before... LOL Simms FH9 ? that make sense?

Thanks - yep makes sense, I'll go take a look... Obscured by Engine Mounts so this is all I could get...

Thanks Mate - found some second hand on eBay - smaller 205 x 16 tyres, second hand but plenty of life in them yet - fitted last night, listed the tall 7.50s and they sold straightaway - net net Zero cost, other than Fuel to pick them up from Leeds, but my son went for me which was nice... much...

Mine is standard Ford so think this is an upgrade pressure wise?

Thanks - yep these are old school Series measurements - still some knocking around and new... Think the modern Equivalent is 205 x 16

Does a replacement Bosch VE Pump improve things then? If so by how much?

Rims / Tyres for a Lightweight? As you can see from the photo I have set of Standard wheels - they are 5.5 x 16 - fitted with Tall 7.50 x 16 tyres... more suited to a 109 of LWB I think.... I want to get back to a smaller profile tyre 6.5 x 16 - and wondered if I should find some 5.0 Rims -...

Surfing for Dynamat now... Engine has a had a service... another poster recommended a Bosch Injector Pump to give it a boost... wheels and tyres, yep agreed... just playing around really, though the tonka wheels are comfier...

Nice... 30mpg makes sense... I'm going to order some soundproofing to shut it up! Any ideas on best soundproofing or just search on EBay? On another note it's got 1 out of 4 rear half shafts from a Civi landie... It also came with Big Tonka Toy wheels which I fitted on at the weekend -...

Makes sense... the text above says "Economy" was the aim which fits what other posters have said... maybe 30 MPG.

Got ya - again not used to these Engines, so it's a straight Ford DI 2.5 I think mid 80's 90's....

Ah Yes - you're right - wonder what that translates too then, another forum member said circa 70 BHP - does it convert?

Thanks Kev - yep that fits... its gutless for sure, and very noisy! Thanks maybe dates it... I'll try and find a number once the temps cool off!

Thanks Buddy that's a great summary for the non initiated like me... I've been scouring the Interweb looking at V8 prices since posting and they seem to come at circa £500 to £700 in known running condition... would just need to find the conversion kit but warming to that idea all day long...
