    Overland trip advice?

    In all honesty sleeping in the back was very very far down the list of possibilities, although I have insulated throughout so it's surprisingly comfortable, temperature wise at least

    Kooda - Just the inspiration I needed. I will rebuild my first engine. I already have a Haynes manual so I'm half way there. Cheers

    300tdi or 2.25 petrol LPG

    Actually can anyone recommend someone to rebuild the 2.25 for me? I thought as I'm going through the effort of swapping it over it would be great if someone with more working knowledge than me could give it the best chance of lasting another life time. I'm looking for someone with a meticulous...

    300tdi or 2.25 petrol LPG

    Yer I'm not sure anymore, I see series with tdi conversions for sale quite a lot that claim to be tax exempt. Surely not every single one of them is a chancer who hasn't declared the conversion?

    300tdi or 2.25 petrol LPG

    In regards to conversions and such? I spoke to a man through the federation of british historical vehicle clubs a while back to double check the dos and donts for keeping my 109 and 88 tax and mot exempt throughout my truck building adventures, and his words were - "You can have any engine...

    109 SW / utility swap about

    Yer I hear you, that all make sense. Fortunately I have finally found a decent 109 truck cab chassis so crisis averted. It seemed every other day a 4 door station wagon would pop up for sale but trying to find a decent truck was a nightmare. I presume they got worked harder so less survivors

    300tdi or 2.25 petrol LPG

    Hi, I have another question. I couldn't find a thread on it but apologies if this has been covered before. I'm switching my daily drive work truck. I've been using a SIIA 88 for 18 months or so, but am moving on up to a S3 109 (for the load space etc.) Now I have the choice of 2 engine...

    109 SW / utility swap about

    rob1miles, no not necessarily. Primarily I'm building my dream work truck, although I'm sure it will be used for a few expeditions every now and then.

    109 SW / utility swap about

    Hi, is it possible to mount a 109 utility body onto a 109 5 door SW chassis? I'm guessing there's variation in the mounting points but other than that how much of a ball ache am I looking at? Cheers

    109 suspension

    Hello everyone, quick question from someone who's never upgraded suspension before. If I was looking to completely overhaul the suspension on a SIII 109 (and hopefully add a little more ground clearance,) what would I be looking at doing? Here's what I know so far - New leaf springs. Add 1...

    Does anyone know where I can locate a 109 chassis?

    Thanks for the replies everyone - may have sourced one with a V5, happy days. Rodeo Joe - if I'm ever in Norfolk I'll give you a shout!

    Does anyone know where I can locate a 109 chassis?

    As title suggests! I've nearly ended up with enough parts to build a 109, wasn't intentional, it all got lumped together with other parts I've been laying my hands on. Currently short 1 chassis and having a hard time finding one. Does anyone happen to know of any good leads? Not afraid of a...
