Yes.

No. I like functional a-bars a-la camel trophy. But that looks f***ing awful.

Good job! Looks good. I thought yours is a GS rather than FFR though? Or have you added the ariel mounts yourself?

+1 I hate having a different key for each lock and the ignition!

Good to know, set of standard springs arrived last week and I would have fitted them by now if my trolley jack hadn't died! Have you noticed much more body roll in cornering at all?

If I'm not allowed my NATO green, then this bronze green definitely gets my vote!!

If you want a market value, check the market... what are similar spec ex-mod landys going for on flea bay?

That is a fantastic idea, and may well be the solution I need ;)

Finally arrived today! A lot heavier than I was expecting too. Fitting involved removing the fuse box and cover, also the hand throttle (mines an FFR so has a hand throttle where the choke would be on a petrol version). Bulkhead piece and floor were a good fit, seat box piece was frankly a pig...

So is this the MOD using up their spares bin, or Solihull?!

Today my new springs arrived, looking forward to seeing what difference they make. I was also expecting the rubber matting to arrive from John Craddock today. I ordered last weekend and called last Monday for an eta and was told they would get a delivery from exmoor yesterday, so to call today...

Nice looking landy! Mine manages 12.5v at the moment, so I was thinking about replacing it, and interested in what you did to refurb yours. Did the elements that you replaced fail a test, or is it just standard practice to replace those parts when refurbishing?

Must admit nobber, that does look good with the gloss paint and stainless fixings. Is yours ex-mod too? The door looks military but the dash looks civvy spec?

I meant indicators and sidelights ;) mines ex-mod so unscrew from front and am assuming yours are the same?

Tell me about it... I had a little cry of panic when reaching for the credit card - then remembered why I went for paperless statements and told the wife I'd cancelled the account ;)
