Although not a Landy show, todays (Sat 21) vintage rally at St Mawgan, Cornwall, saw a well-interesting selection. I counted at least 26, not including the 'workhorses' that had their duties to attend to before becoming an exhibit themselves. From a rather sympathetically restored 1949 80"...

I have a couple of sets of series side panels with this strip & they both differ from one another in some small way & my early 90 has them. The ones i have are sharply folded alloy with cut-outs on the inner face for tiny threaded captive bolts that are welded to a thin metal strip that runs...

YES! Ta for that. I'll get on the case.

My late dads series 2 (non-military) 88" was fitted with a pair of very useful galvanized lashing rings on its front bumper, like a large vertical 'D' with its round profile facing forwards. Picking up on the 2 dumb iron/bumper securing bolts and 2 bolts through the bumper itself. They proved...

Hi. I've just received an email from the 101 club regarding the membership renewal date, very little other details other than how to pay so must still be running.

The latest LRM mag has gotten me thinking about an old mountain bike I have stashed away. The article I am referring to was very interesting, the very early days of project Jay as it was known as back then. I've heard of the G WAC's but nothing of the prototype mules & was hoping the article may...

Thanks everybody... I think? Unfortunately as I expected, your replies have now seen the Discovery van added to my pile of T.M.P.'s (Too many projects!)

Originally purchased a few years ago as a donor vehicle fitted with what I believe to be its original 200TDI engine I am now considering keeping the vehicle whole. Its been an age since I've seen one. Has anyone else noticed their absence? Worth saving do you think?

Purchased originally as a donor vehicle some years ago complete with what I believe is an original 200TDI I am now questioning whether to keep the vehicle whole as its been an age since I've seen one. Has anyone else noticed an absence of S1 Discovery vans out there?

I agree. Such a substantial component as an axle case breaking unheard off a few years ago. I remember once having a Rangie classic chassis intended for a project vehicle that had been from a written off Rangie that had overturned. With its over-sized wheels and extra offset the rolling forces...

I know at least one group did as I have their Landrover:p! ( A blue LWB Safari 2 & a quarter petrol fitted with a Brownchurch roofrack.) Yes, ta for your replies, I will get on the 'case' one day. (Don't use fb) Just wondered if anyone on the forum had any knowledge/stories.

Does anyone have any knowledge on this subject? Apparently, regular trips were undertaken by the Department of Geography of the University Reading in the 70's and involved, at least as far as I know, a LWB Safari Landrover and an unknown number of students. I'm a little curious as to what they...

I remember a local contractor who were regular customers of Landrover purchased a brace of early 110 pickups. One of them was a part time 4x4. Interestingly, whilst visiting 'Landrover' at the time they (brothers) got to see the now abandoned 'Iceberg' V8 engine project & saw it RUNNING! An...

Oohh, an early boingy! Is it part time 4x4 as I recall this was offered as an option.

Well found! I'm guessing the ex-Jenson Interceptor engine is either a 6.9 or 7.2 Ltr, as I'm pretty sure the Interceptor was not offered with any of the 'smaller' Chrysler engines. Thinking back to the day when this work was carried out, such as door locks, it would have seemed very advanced! A...

I have the old style 2 x piece doors that a few years ago cost me just £75.00 each (door bottoms) from the now sadly defunct Bearmach company - brand new doors! ( no capping's though) I'm not keen on the windy-window doors with their inherent rust issues & equally unimpressed with the new prices...

Verrry informative! Ta. Your post reminded me of the old Landrover ads that used to appear in mags etc before the world went into PC mode;- 'We've got the biggest nuts!' I suppose there is just one question left to ask. Is anyone out there running split rims on their Landys or are todays...

How enlightening! Ta for that. The differing stud/nut sizes between series 1's & 2's must then mean there are at least 2 types of split rims out there I'm guessing? At the time I never thought to check mine - not looked at them for a few years now & they are among my Landybits collection! As a...

I can't find the thread now, but I recently read of someone mentioning 6.50 tyres & it reminded me of a set of split-rims I rescued a long time ago that were fitted with very badly cracked 6.50's. I had them shot blasted & painted for a now abandoned Landy project. So, I'm curious as to how many...

101 PTO's were also intended to drive the wheels on either 'Scottorn' (?) or Ruberry-owens powered trailers making the unit a 6x6. I'm unsure though of how acceptable it would be to run power through it backwards. Yup, place the transfer lever in neutral & all gears are still available from the PTO.
