so have you decided to rebuild him as a standard SII now?


the other day, a local LR nut was following me up from Lampeter in his RR, I
in Edward II (standard 2¼ petrol LWB) and later he said "bloody hell, what
engine have you got in that?" :)

the secret is pedal to the metal and don't lift off :)

Jury is still out. The more I look at Standerd landies the more I like
them. Would save alot of piddling around with chassis and engine
mounts.

Would mean I have two spare V8's and auto box setup too. One spare
adorns the garage floor.

My main motivator was my dickie knee which seems to have resolved it's
self fortuantely. On the other hand I'm not as "hands on" at work as I
used to be so perhaps that helps. The other motivator was the not
dissimilar consumption of the 2 1/4 unit against the V8... bugger I've
talked myself into it again....

Hmmm... funny that, that's the theory I tried to adopt whilst towing that
behemoth of a trailer back up the road! Must be another disease assosciated
with the green oval. :)

And the 7 previous owners. No. 1 was the army, so who were the other 6, and
why has it been through so many in about 17K miles? Not passing on a dog or
anything is he?

I wondered about the propshaft comment as well.

Yeah, alright. You buy it, I'll let you have the rest of this years

Actually, 'she' (well, Claire has been the one boring everyone to
death with postings about JOK on uk-lro). I reckon it was an impulse
buy. Silly thing to do with a 101 - too many have fallen by the
wayside in the past - you either NEED one, or you should go buy a
Shogun... Still, at least she didn't paint it pink...

Seeing they were going to sell it was almost as much as a surprise as
finding out that Terry Wogan was Irish.

>I wondered about the propshaft comment as well.

They all do that. GKN 2015 propshafts help cure it. If not, live
with it - it's 'normal'.

There's a certain pleasing simplicity about a standard 2¼ though, plus they
seem to last forever with even reasonable maintenance.

Then you can put the autobox into Morph. D&RFC.

And this is the tractor beam I'm trying to dodge.

Certainly considered it. But I doubt the IIa transfer box would be too
impressed. H'mmmmm ..... git!
