Good work. Slow the rust down so much it's effectively stopped.

You could get in touch with the military vehicle trust. They're officially recognised by the DVLA as vehicle inspectors and can get you the registration. Costs about £200 for non members.

That's a smart move.

True for anything. But no reason to assume that the vehicle couldn't be fully legal after the modifications.

Good practical points. But series ownership is very personal, so if OP wants air brakes, and can do the work/admin, so what?

Check the power in and out, see where it gets lost. Might just need a slight adjustment, or a blob of solder on a contact.

A Glencoyne ethanol modified zenith copy from eBay. Keeps it simple.

It's the stalk.

Nor I. But so what? If we were sensible we'd drive Toyotas.

Any photos of the chassis? Could have been modified.

Any photos of the damage?

And have any HP left to move the vehicle....

I do like a forward control. Efficient use of space.

It's a double cab civilian forward control. With a nasty soa conversation. Not too wild.

Result!

I think so. Not much, but yes. But I thought the relay was somewhere on the inner wheel arch. Near the starter? Item 20.

Any photos of the interior as it is at the moment?

Either works for CV joints. Got to be EP90 for UJs.

Funnily enough I'm using an aluminium enriched 2k epoxy mastic to fill the pits on the front axle of the 101. Unlike the ordinary series vehicles, the swivel balls can't be replaced, as they are welded onto the axle tube. The plan is to sand...

Which carb is it? Got any photos?

Do you have access to the 90/110 parts book? That will help with finding what is compatible between the petrol and diesel oily bits.

Excellent. What's the plan?

The bendy bit 😀

Okay. Gotcha. Stick with the EP. Ensure the leather is thoroughly soaked in petroleum jelly. Nothing else.

What do you mean by a gaiter seal? One of the fittings that go over the swivel ball seal that cover the entire swivel ball?

Arent you in for a surprise then ;) . Theres a bendy bit hidden in your balls:p. Suggest you trawl online and get a manual for your flavour and read it in bed at night/Breakfast in the morning and during your tea breaks:). J

Probably? Would you need an IVA? If you are changing the chassis I think you would. Technically possible, if you can fabricate things.

Err, UJs? CVs? Nothing? Got to be able to steer!

Assuming you've UJ joints on the half shafts then EP90 for sure. Nothing else gets into the rollers on the UJs.

Dodgy sender. If it's not over heating when in the red, it's the sender. Presuming that the sender is in full contact with the head, no PTFE. I've a good few sensors, none are the same resistance. I swapped until I had one that was nicely in the...
