OK peeps. Thanks for your thoughts. It seems it's a non starter. The idea behind it was to be able to drive in French LEZs. Unlike over here, if you have a 40 year plus vehicle you are LEZ exempt, in France, you can't drive in their LEZ unless you have a special badge which states what your...

I know the PTO on the back of the transfer box can be used to power various things, could it be used in reverse and if i bolted an electric motor onto it could that be used to propel the vehicle using batteries?

I have a 2.5d out of an LDV van in my Series 2. I discovered it was an engine that really promoted not using your brakes unless absolutely necessary!

So just badly made foreign shoes 6mm above spec... It's a pity as normally getting a little bit extra for free is a good thing 😁

Are LWB shoes 6mm wider?

What better birthday present than i nice family day out! Plus... Fresh air, nice scenery, good food in the cafe and mooching through Landy parts to boot! :cool:

It was good. It'll be better once they have finished erecting the new building. It's taking up a lot of space that used to hold outside vendors who are at the moment outside of the gate in the car park. You don't need to wait until next February to attend a spares day though. There are several...

It's a 101 ambulance. At the moment undrivable due to the brakes. Thinking about it, i've 'driven' it around the block a couple of times and it's gone up by 3 Mile-ometers, so it's probably recording kilometers. Which will be cool as it will have gone less far🤔 than i thought. If it is, what do...

I reckon my speedometer reads in KMP, not MPH as the 100 is on the outside(big numbers) and the 60 is on the inside(small numbers) So, assuming i have a 'foreign' spec speedo, are those 33822 units miles or kilometers? I do apologise for the state of the speedo but i haven't got around to...

I wouldn't have thought it's ex military life would be an issue. If it had tracks and a turret i could understand, but a Land Rover? I would have thought not. If you can find the military registration number on a plate or sticker, then you can use it to search for it's recorded military history...

I bet if you dropped off the kids at school when you went to pick them up you'd have double the number of kids climbing into the back :cool: That was the case years ago when i gave a lift up to the local shops to the twelve or thirteen year old daughter of a mate. I was in my Series 2 (as...

I'd forget the Defender or Range Rover and go for something a little more interesting, like my recent purchase...

I waded a Citroen ZX diesel over the bonnet one night driving home from work. Not through choice. My own fault though. I should have waited a few seconds more to guage the depth on the Disco 1 i was following into the dip in the road before driving in myself. I was past the point of no return...

Mine need some attention. Especially the driver's side which is making a bit of a mess... I've heard that you dig out any pitting in the swivel, clean, degrease and then fill with epoxy glue and sand it down. A mate who used to knock about with a chap who had a GS told me that you can change...

I read online that the bargrips are 33 inches tall. That's 838mm in new money. I went for the Toyo LT255/85xR16 because they are supposed to be 846mm tall and fit on the standard 6.5inch rim. They also do an LT315/75xR16 which is 884mm tall but need an 8.0inch rim (ideally 8.5inch) So in theory...

I have yet to see a 101 actually on the road! In fact i've seen more Scorpion tanks on the road than 101s. I almost followed one into Able Engineering when i went to collect a load of bits but the other chap beat me there by about three minutes.

They make my Toyos look like something out of a Liquorice Allsorts bag! Lovely wheels too!!!

And where did one find those? Do they fit onto standard rims?

Sadly not yet. I've either been working or it's been wet. Last Sunday i planned to change the headlight bulbs in my Ibiza then crack on with the 101 brakes. It's a pain in the arse job entailing removing the fuel filter and cradle to gain access to the driver's side bulbs and the battery and...
