Still seems to be overheating, at least according to the gauge. So far, I've checked/done: - Rad fins are clear, and it doesn't seem to be clogged. The top coolant tube is hot and the lower one is cooler so water is flowing throught the rad. I picked up some button batteries for my IR...

A bit of history about 30FJ11 "Winnie" Based on a 1970 Land Rover Series IIa LWB, Winnie is officially an "Ambulance 2/4 Stretcher 4x4 Rover 11." The vehicle arrived to me with the original UK army military vehicle registration plates (30FJ11) attached, which is cool but due to local rules...

First real operational issue this past weekend... Winnie did not come with a water temperature sender, and the Jaeger combo instrument had the old style capillary tube gauge (with the tube cut off). I installed a new electrical gauge and sender, and found during a country drive the engine was...

Here's how it looks all leveled-up and with new 30x9.5 BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 tires. The rims are LP861 6x15, which I've since found are not so common a size/part, and I'm struggling to find a matching 5th rim for the spare mounted on the hood (currently a 16" military rim). If anyone...

Good day from Canada! I took delivery of my Marshall-bodied Series IIa back in May, and have been focussed on getting it safetied and road-worthy since then. Now that I'm able to drive it around town, I thought this would be a good time to start my project thread. Here is my Hello thread with...

Tall - I haven't tried your approach yet, however I was able to get it sorted. As the issue seemed to be affecting only the one flasher, I focussed on tracing the green/white wire and found it frayed at the splice with the front flasher. Re-did the connection and now all is well.

Thanks - did as you suggested and the voltage is reading low (11.9v vs 13.4-14.2 on LH flasher). The tail lights, convoy light and license plate light all use a common ground connection on the rear frame and they all work fine, though I cleaned it for good measure. Tomorrow I'll put my...

Oh, how I wish it were that easy...

Thanks - no tow/trailer connections, though being a military vehicle it has a convoy light on a separate circuit.

Good day, Working to get my new-to-me 1970 Series IIa military ambulance safetied, and am having difficulties troubleshooting a non-flashing RH rear flasher. This is a negative earth vehicle. What I've checked: - The other 3 flashers work - All bulbs work and are the exact same bulb, and...

It's a LWB chassis. They were sent from Land Rover as a partial kit to Marshall Military Engineering for fitment of the special bodywork and other modifications. Between 1,000 and 3,000 of them were built, and used primarily by British and Dutch armed services.

Pics to make it real...

Good day, Newbie here, and getting familiar with my new-to-me 1970 Series IIa ambulance. With the pair of underseat fuel tanks, is the fuel gauge supposed to show the level for the tank that is selected by the fuel tank cut-over switch? I can't test this at the moment, as both of the sender...

Recently purchased and started resto-mod of a 1970 Series IIa ex-military Marshall ambulance that was stationed at British Army Training Unit Suffield in Alberta, Canada. This is my second Rover - I previously had a Discovery II - but the amby is definitely the more interesting of the two.
