The Land Rover Series 2 Club Forum

Went to our NW pub meet which wasnt at a pub at all.  We were at the Leyland Commercial Vehicle Museum.

A good turnout 14 series 2 and 3 land rovers plus an absolutely immaculate early range rover

Thanks to dave Marrin for organising, I am sure photos will emmerge in due course.

Oscar is keen to be at his morning walk

We’re any of you using 205 tyre size

Built another gearbox...

Do you rebuild gearboxes on a regular basis? Just wondering.

Looks like you all had a great day out

Hii,

Ref earlier mention of my knees.

One of Barbara's health care workers insisted that MY knees are bad enough to entitle me to Attendance Allowance, and has submitted an application on my behalf.  I'm not sure I agree with her, although if I want to travel more the 25 yards from my front gate, I take the car. Mowing my 20ft by 30ft lawn (rotary mower) is spread over three days. Character building!  Thinks back forty years ... I built an edifice (Planners description) with the two kids bedrooms each being 20ft by 10ft. Whatever, an extra £80 per week going into the household kitty could extend my horizons ... like a new galv 80" chassis, under an JAGO WEEP bodyshell.

I've already bought the mouthwash, but how to climb in will need some thought.

I note the except 109 sw exception, so that suggests that 109's other than that had side fuel tanks not rear, not sure what date they moved.

Hi,

"The Aunt" was a 1959 (I think) LWB, adapted to carry "arial erection" stuff for the BBC, and had an side fill fuel tank. Memory (getting vague) tells me that the big filler pipe exited through "different from normal" holes in the bulkhead and rear wing. I fitted a different tub, which entailed drawing/making a drilling jig, to cut the holes.  Unfortunately, that drawing faded off my files when I bought a new lap-top to convert to W10.

Do not dump knackered underseat fill fuel tanks without hacking the filler hole out of the top of the tank, so it can be moved to another tank .... although I assume that a side filler could be cobbled onto the top of any other tank.  

Er ... who makes fuel Series fuel tanks ... and would they make "specials"?

Hi,

How soon will it be before "Speed Cops" can book anybody and everybody, from their armchair, using mobile phones?

After that, we will be able to get a reduced sentence, by reporting weekly, to the Speed Cops home, to confess.
