Hi, I recently bought the retainers for the bottom edge of the right and left hand doors (part numbers 346231 and 346232) of my 76 lightweight FFR. I believe the rubber seals are no longer stocked, so sourcing them is a bit of a mare. I've heard that a reasonable alternative might be to modify a...

thanks guys, I managed to find out more and thought I'd feedback VD/CVD = (Vehicle Depot), Ashchurch, Gloucestershire ADPCON Automatic Data Processing Convertion (it's details were entered onto an early computer) RRW was, as you say, The Royal Regiment of Wales, The Regiment went to Belize...

I've attached my vehicle history card for my Series 3 FFR. I get the jist of it - it obviously didn't travel very far! - but just wondered if anyone could offer advice on some of the abbreviations e.g RRW, R/Pty, H/BVT thanks

I'll be getting my hands on a series 3 lightweight FFR 24V in a few weeks time. It's with a friend of mine at present who's been getting it ready for MOT. The 12V v 24V issue! He said he thought it had some form of modification to 12V after he spotted the small black reducer box in the bonnet...

thanks again. I apologise for raising the 24V to 12V conversion issue - I realised with hindsight that there were plenty of previous threads on this. So yes, I'll give that a miss for now. I am keen to explore if anyone has tried to move the batteries elsewhere. I'd even consider putting it in...

thanks for your advice. Appreciate what you say re the LWB being the pragmatic way forward but it's not an option I can take at present. At least I also now know that x 4 forward facing seats in the rear is a no-go. Appreciate I'm raising a seperate issue here, but an another option would be...

Series 3 FFR SWB and x4 kids! Currently has rear benches with no seat belts Could I fit a pair of forward facing flip-down seats (Forward Facing Fold Up L/H from Brookwells) on each side? i.e two on each side Alternatively,would I be able to fit a flip -down side facing bench alongside a...
