Wasn't watching the thread so only just got the news when my refund was confirmed. Sad news but understandable in the circumstances. Thank you for all the hard work that was put in and hope to see you all next year.

I have found chassis numbers in a variety of places. Most common for series 2a is RHD drivers side dumb iron just above where the spring mounts are welded to the box chassis, almost always on the outside edge. However, I have also found them on the left chassis section under the engine mount...

It's confirmed, 35 mpg from my new high ratio transfer box. The high ratio kit is not cheap and not really a diy fit (unless you have a metal working shop) but in my humble opinion, well worth it.

More sunshine hours than anywhere else on the UK mainland, that'sounds why we have so many glass houses and polytunnels. Anyway, I think it is the cold warm cycle that means the paint peals. I am trying to source a company to do the vinyl wrap and will let you know how I get on.

I have tried the plasticoat as a fix as I have the same problem with my roof seams. The problem is the sun bakes the plasticoat and then it peals back from the seams. I didn't use the etch coat so that may fix the issue. I am now considering the vinyl wrap but need to peel of the plasticoat paint.

Excellent Tickets purchased and permission of Mrs gained. Fingers crossed that I arrive but hopefully not on the back of a green flag lorry.

Many thanks I will add to my diary and book my tickets. I think my Mrs won't be coming as she gave me that look I get every time I mention spending any money landrovers based.

It is early for my diary but I am thinking on coming along for the first time if my series 2a 109 will get me there. Sounds interesting and I am well versed in camping with a bed in the back and awning on the side of my landyzone that serve me well. Any idea when there will be more info on...

Just an update. Gearbox replaced with an all synchro series 3 recon gearbox. Decided to get the Ashcroft high ratio transfer box kit. Installed by specialist (install requires modification of casing for new shaft position in transfer box). Excellent bit of kit, 1000rpm less at 60mph cruise...

Have not been online for a while so I thought I would give a few updates. My 1969 series 2a 109 with a 20tdi engine has had a few bumps but is now functioning well and even passed it's second MOTS with no work to do. 1. Starting faults fixed with comprehensive rewire using a custom made loom...

Great thread, Exactly the same problem happened to my Series IIA 109 today on the dual carriageway and I had to drive to my local garage in 4th with very slow pull aways at the roundabouts. Any comments on where to get a recon box for a 1969 Series IIA LWB? Is it sensible to upgrade the transfer...

If it was a series landy, i would say no as mine moves a lot more than that. However, i don't know what is normal for a late model like yours as they have more splines on the shaft connections than series landys do. I wouldn't be too worried though as if a prop shaft is wobbling lots it makes...

Hi ola, the movement of the gearbox under tourque looks fairly normal as the rubber vibration mounts allow some movement and when you accelerate the engine twists. However, i can hear a knocking when it does this which suggests it is moving too far. Have a look at the engine and gearbox...

Holds charge ok when not connected and gives a lovely 12.3 volts disconnected and 14.4 volts when attached and alternator running, will take a charge when i don't have an open circuit, so i think battery is fine.

Thought so, from the location of everything, it was just the engine number that confused me

I am fairly sure it is but when i found the engine number it started with 111 not 11L and no it is not my inability to tell an L from a 1. I have posted some photos of the engine no location and the engine generally for your verdict. This photo taken from standing in front of my radiator grill...

Ok, Here are a few photos of the mystery relay, the yellow wire disapears into the engine loom, the black wire goes to the dash loom, the white wire goesto the bolt holding the relay to the bulkhead as an earth. The blue wire below used to connect to the 4th pin and run to the fuel cut of...

More problems while awaiting my new loom, which i hope will fix. Went to start up today, nothing from any circuit, test battery while connected no volts, yes that's right, none. Disconnected battery leads 11 volts. Imediate thought, open circuit and attached my jump starter (which has a...

No, dark green, the red is a primer used by the previous owner after crash damage
