  1. Welkom to the MadHouse !

    That looks a very nice Series - well done.

    Had a Hard Top like that (3 doors) for years and they are good camping & sleeping vehicles.

    24 volt (petrol or diesel ? ) means usu. a bit less easy to find parts.

    You can convert to 12 volt if you want.

     

     

  2. It came apart in a rather noisy and vibrating way and I must say it made for an interesting evening..

    Quite a bit of oil came out, with quite a bit of debris, when drained to remove the diff.

    However, I'm not sure about the axle breathers doing what they should do over the decades so i'll take this moment to fit these :

    On the OneTen they work fine...

  3. "Details please Arjan I know nothing about that engine :D"

    Sure......

    4 cyl., 3.500 cc., diesel, N/A, turbo / intercooled about 130-150 bph and about 260 lb/ft. almost over the whole rev range..

    Had several in both in a Soft Dash, a 110 CSW (with a ZF) and love them.

    Gear driven timing, etc.

    Will be fitting one, with an LT85, in a 110 HT when I find time....

    If you want to know more, give a shout.

    Engine is in France but I can take it to Holland / Belgium if some relay is needed....

  4. Very interesting read - thank you.

    Apart from the obvious costs to convert a ICE to Electric, we face in France the legal problem.

    At the moment it is next to impossible to get a DIY conversion on the road legally.

    A few companies have a monopoly it seems to do the conversion and the price tag equals that of a new Defender...

     

  5. Welkom to the MadHouse Matt.

    Love to see some pice !

    Grown Ups will come by but basically anything is possible - wallet permitting of course.

    A diff that has wear after 55 years + is to be expected. I just replaced the Rover diff behind the 200 Tdi with another Rover one.

    Anything eventually gives up.

    We have some serious diff rebuilders here so let's see what they have to say.
