pics or it didnt happen :p

What are the actual differences between a 2a and a 2a lightweight, barring the obvious body differences? i read the axles were shorter? I read regularly that lightweights are "uncomfortable". What makes them, if anything, worse than regular series land rovers? how different is one to my early...

Now sounds like a time for you to throw together a scrapyard special my friend. In the past, I ran a bodged box with a cavalier heater matrix, a mk1 fiesta matrix and two random fans which i believe were originally designed to go in a PC.. Got nice and toasty in there. It even masked the...

:D paul you genius :D Looking at google, the LDV pilot came with a 1.9D. LDV cityvan appears to be the 2.1.. Although our pukey's got a 1.9D and it's a great engine i'd be looking at a 1.9TD.. but it can't be that different.. What i'm going on is the fact that although these engines/gboxs may...

Yeah.. 2.3/5 pug diesels.. Good engines. a turbo one'd be quite quick too.. All depends on the veg oil capability of it. I was looking at the 1.9 as I know most of them will run veg oil 100% fine and theres MILLIONS of them.. they're probably the most common diesel around at the moment. It'll...

steve's site does not mention the 1.9.. and i googled before i posted.. I'd like to see if i can bolt up a '07-on landie's 6spd gearbox to a series transfer case with some economical, but reasonably powerful engine - it MUST have a bosch fuel pump though, to be capable of running vege oil.. I've...

Don't ya'll shout at me now.. I know its french and newfangled and stuff... but.. I've seen enough perkins prima conversions to be doing one myself.. but.. i've always wondered, could a Peugeot XUTD 1.9 TD be fitted to a series landy? it's just.. I know where i can get one with serious power...

Simple answer, It wouldn't.

Hurm.. I've seen all these "water cells" and stuff. there are commercially produced hydrogen/browns gas producers. They claim massive fuel economy benefits.. but look like they were made of sandwich boxes. Working in alternative fuel research, I keep tabs on these technologies. In my opinion...

JEEEEZ £11,000??? Well, I'm in the process of doing something similar to my S3, using a prima 2.0 turbo engine. But £11k and no o/d or pair'o'bollix? Someone's having a laugh. Wouldn't even pay £11k for a defender or rangie let alone a S3. I have most of the parts...

thankyou sahs, some useful info :) basically my position is this, the S3 needs some parts replacing, and i'll fit an upgrade part, be it aftermarket or later model OEM sooner than bolting on a standard part - It'll probably not be too much work extra - improve it as i go on :D EDIT: just...

tsk. you think you're funny but you're not.

there wont be a prob with the exemption. dont want to change the whole axle, just heard it was possible to change the ends.

I have the series, it was cheap, it's otherwise in fantastic condition, and it's cheaper to own/run than a 90 or defender. If we're talking huge amounts of work for any particular parts, i won't do it, i'm just after making it a bit better than it is. as i said above, i like modifying stuff...

Hmm. I've got a pretty nice Series 3 SWB diesel (van, if you can call a landie that) with a dead engine, and a heavily worn interior, but really, really solid and sweet otherwise. It's a really early (1972) example. Was just watching Mark Evans' "A 4x4 Is Born" DVD (for the xtieth time -...
