    Potential new Series 2a owner with questions on powerplant and drivetrain

    Although it could be a rolling restoration, the bulkhead is completely shot and the pedals are all seized except for the throttle. Thankfully it’s going to a workshop for 6 months so I will be able to strip it down and put it on a new chassis, bulkhead, engine (2.6 6 cylinder), overhaul the...

    Potential new Series 2a owner with questions on powerplant and drivetrain

    Good Evening Everyone, I'm about to embark on a restoration project with my Series 2a 109 station wagon. This will involve getting a new chassis, bulkhead, 2.6L rover 100 engine, and some non standard modifications to the vehicle as it will be a Swiss army 109 station wagon used by the swiss...

    Swiss Army Series 2a 109 project

    Another update, So my defender has been sold on which means the project is now on. I’ve been collecting parts for the 6 cylinder conversion. The engine as it turns out is a Rover P4 100 2.6l. Which is good for many reasons, as it’s similar to the originals installed at the factory and for...

    So update time. I’ve picked up a rover 6 cylinder IOE engine. Not sure if it’s a 2.6 or 3.0 though or what carb it has. Could anyone identify it for me?

    I've also put this on my swiss army 109 project thread. Turns out the Swiss used the 2.6l rover engine with a zenith carb. So I ended up going down the 2.6/3.0l rover engine conversion rabbit hole. Which I might add is still possible other than the bell housing and gearbox tunnel diaphragm. So...

    Swiss Army Series 2a 109 project

    Hello everyone, been continuing to do research on theses rare vehicles. Turns out they used the 2.6l rover engine with a zenith carb. So I ended up going down the 2.6/3.0l rover engine conversion route. Which I might add is still possible other than the bell housing and gearbox tunnel diaphragm...

    Interesting story indeed. To answer your question I usually see around 2 or 3 a week, not many 90s though at least not my way.

    Just had a look, they don't do the series 2a ones yet. But will look out for them, I suspect that they will be like shielder's bulkheads which are made using more efficient & improved methods, thicker metals and galvanised.

    What I was planning to do is, remove the valve and use the vacuum pump to suck the air in to the tank via a non return t junction. Just need to know if the later timing case fits the one on mine. Part number Erc9528

    That and I really want to work on a series 2 now. Don’t get me wrong I’d keep both but it’s not financially viable for me. The last bits on the 110 that need doing are outside of my restoration abilities now and I’m happy with the work I’ve done.

    As much as would want to keep the 110, the laws are arbitrary. So no matter what I do, it still wouldn’t be compliant until 2033 when it gets its VHI.

    Potential new Series 2a owner with questions on powerplant and drivetrain

    So for now I’m probably going to stick with the standard box but will go for a high ratio transfer from Ashcroft. However the only thing that I absolutely want to change is the braking system. Plan is to make a dual line system, servo booster from a S3, mechanical vacuum pump from a 110 2.25...

    My car has the advantage of being a daily driver for 3 years so has had constant maintenance and upgrades to the drivetrain. Making it hopefully ideal for someone who can finish it off.

    I’m probably going to drop it to around 8k soon anyway. And no 5k is low for these cars even in the external condition that mines in.

    Damn I was hoping to make a little bit for series 2 project. Looks like I’m going to just cover the cost of the family loan for it.
