Hello,
i bought a 4x2 series 1 about 6 years ago did a bit of work and then had to mothball it due to a work move. I’m now moving with work and going to get to work on the series 1 again. I need the following parts.
fuel tank, rear diff (pinion bearings collapsed whilst at speed) anyone got these parts in either Suffolk/Norfolk, Edinburgh or North Yorkshire?
im planning on daily driving this vehicle and im quite tempted to chuck in a modern engine from a jimny possibly, I’m thinking small and petrol to keep some of the charm. I’ve done 300tdi conversions into land rovers before so just looking or ideas/experience from anyone that’s done one?
i know you may think it’s sacrilige to remove the engine and replace but it’s a 4x2 and only worth a couple of grand. Anyone got any experience/parts/comments they are more than welcome.
its a 1958 4x2 with a 1.6 possibly ex raf or water department? It was registered in 1968 so some governmental department had it for a decade.
thanks for your time.
