New Landy owner

[Sharp]

Hi, I have just brought new.....well new for me ........series 3 109. Its on what i understand to be a rang rover chassie with standard gearbox and a perkins engine. I have got a few things planned for it in the future. Will no doubt be picking some brains soon as I try to identifie my engine.

:welcome: to the forum. Not sure if you're motor could be on a rangie chassis as they were only 100" long and the 109 being just that, unless it's been shortened.

We need pics

It's on coils for a start so it ain't a series chassis.

Looks to me like it's an early rangie with a series body on it.

Does the chassis number on the plate in the pic match the one on the dumb iron?

 

[baggyjim]

take it to local vehicle inspector and get it looked at

It was apparently a new chassie when it was fitted so I assumed it wouldnt be stamped with anything but have not checked it to be honest. Was told it was off a rangerover but need to check gotta do the a frame balljoint on the rear axle once I manage to get some axle stands big enough to hold it.

 

[chunkymunky]

Does it have any certs?

With such an amalgamation of parts it should be q plate and thoroughly inspected. How do you know its safe?

 

[Sharp]

Because it been inspected but VOSA aproved technicians for over 10 years including recently by some one who actualy performs SVA tests as well as by 2 different fabricators from different companies.
