Okay so the mystery continues as in being what my Landy is/was... According the Heritage Certificate I have requested it was originally delivered as a mid-grey series 2a with a petrol engine, civvy 12V version. Somewhere along the 55 past years the engine was swapped for a diesel engine and the...

Patiently waiting for the chassis and bulkhead to return from the sandblaster I'd decided to go for sandblasting and Parkerising/phosphating some of the old nuts and bolts. As far a I know this was also originally on the S2a on most nuts and bolts and not zinc plated as on later models was...

Can someone tell me if these long 'ribs' or seams from front to back on the chassis are typically for a series 2a chassis ? Since the rear cross member was replaced with a aftermarket one where the top is just a flat type of steel i'd like to replace these flat parts with this 'ribbed' type to...

No the gearbox was degreased with a mild solvent and then washed off with normal tapwater 'pressure' and dried with a towel. But I will take it apart this week anyway to clean and check all internals.

Day 5 in the workshop: Removed (almost) all parts from the chassis, ready to have it sandblasted next week, Agreed to have it sandblasted, then returned to my workshop so I can repair/weld all needed parts. Then return it to have it sandblasted again and primed in epoxy primer and finished in...

Day 4 in the workshop: Little change of plans: decided to get the chassis shotblasted or acid dipped to get it real clean so have to remove everything from it. Removed most of the items on the bulkhead and loosened up the lower bulkhead to chassis bolts, These were really stuck... Did a small...

day 3 in the workshop: Removed some of the old paint and rust from the left leg of the rear chassis to see whats under there. The tail part had been replaced before and boy is that an awfull type of welding. I dont it will stick when pulling a trailer so that needs to be grinded off and...

Today the tub got removed so now the cleaning and restoring begins...

Early 2019 I had it registered as historic vehicle, 9 seater, with the heritage certificate I received earlier. And since january this year its even MOT excempt. According the certificate it was grey on first delivery with a petrol engine. It (also on the previous V5) now has a diesel engine and...

Well time is flying away, its since 2018 that I had touched the Landy :-( It was just parked outside waiting until yesterday.... First attempt to start it since 2019 failed on the startermotor. Took it out, cleaned it and second try. It does start now and then, sometimes just click so I reccon...

And on racedays they can put me near one of the takewaychipsfriermobiletrucks and i'll put some veggyoill in the landy. Nobody would now that i'm running the engine at the same time :-)

Well if I could at least charge with 11kW (one charger) it would help me a lot. I dont want to install CHAdeMo to the car and drive out of the pit area to charge at the closest public EVSE. Anyway, one of the reasons not carrying an extra fuel-burner engine with me is exactly what you say about...

The getting wet thing is sure something to think about... The generator is now mounted on a sled suited for mounting/lifting behind a tractor. The proposed pto output shaft on the landy is somewhat at the same height as the pto input shaft on the generator. So mounting the generator on...

Yes the generator is rated for 50Hz. The chargers are modified Tesla Model S (3-fase 11kW) chargers and they can run on anything between 100-240VAC, 50/60Hz. So pushing the Landy to deliver 22kW for an hour or more could be a problem with the limited power or cooling it has ? Would adding a...

It's a 1966 109 diesel so hand throttle should be no problem. I have to look into the suffix of the gearbox not sure what it is at this time.
