    Ask the supplier. CE is not an issue as Series are too "old"
  2. Arjan
    hmmm...
  3. Arjan
    We feel your pain..

    For a non competition cage - that is going to be useful.

    Yes - half of that is Mine..Dutch "old" commercial plates on the Morris that belongs to a very good friend of mine. Runs on LPG - weird rear body. On the side, just behind the door, you can see his workshop logo. He 's coming this weekend with me to collect the big brother....

    Well.... I did fit Mazda's in RRC's, a ZF & Mazda in a 110 CSW and rebuild a Series III Cherry Picker so this is a good one to do some serious welding... You guys wanna see a pic of the "floor".....?

    Project? What are you going to do with it? 1 - Save it from the crusher at a scrapper's place as that was to happen next week (wonder why a Dutchman in France needs to do this, but alas..) 2 - There seems to be, looking at pics I just received, nothing left of the chassis / frame so loading it on the trailer will be a delicate operation to keep the aluminium straight.. 3 - 800 miles to bring it here is going to be interesting... 4 - When funds & time are there, frame will be rebuild and a 109" sought... 5 - Show the thing - they are very, very rare..

    Thanks for the quick replies !! These trailers were built by "Scottish Aviation" in the '60's for use both behind Morris Minor & Mini's in a somewhat smaller version. With a friend in Holland, we have 2 of those. People who've been to the Dorset Steam Fair may have seen them - one is in period sign writing. This is the project I have just bought...... Some years ago I'd simply go to the UK, hook it behind the 109"and see what happens (Oh yes... I have been on the side of the M1 with the police...) but this time I'll go and use the trailer to load it up as there seems to be nothing left of the "chassis".. Loading is going to be interesting.....

    As this group is know for their immeasurable knowledge about anything Land Rover - and more - related, this could be seen as a test. Who can tell me more about his trailer ? A friend in Holland has 2 smaller ones for use behind Morris Minors Pick Ups.. This one, however, seems a bit bigger, judging by the 109" it sits behind. ...... and yes, it seems I have bought one

    What vehicle, what use, what budget, what's your level of competence in using these machines ?

    See your problem.. Apart from getting a mechanic who knows what he / she is doing, the obvious way to go is to replace the Td5's with Td'5. Turner's do very, very good engines and if swopping like for likes, it could be worth getting some outside help fitting the things. Although I love the Mazda lumps (3.5 Tdi 4 cyl.) that is a good, strong and very simple engine I'd not go that route as you're going to have problems getting spares etc. We also have an 2.8 Iveco in a 130 that did very, very well but again, parts could be a problem. Bon Courage !

    I had a VDO Tempomat in the RRC with the Mazda. Not cheap but very, very good. Interested to hear about the " Waeco kit " as I again will need to fit one to a 300 Tdi.. Tdi needs something with a cable to move the lever on the pump.

    Once they run out of Series Ones & RRC's they can begin with Defenders.. Pity it is this far away from us..

    Unless the electric solenoid has intermittent problems, you describe fuel line blockage... We had a similar problem with the 110 after a long trip this Summer it just died doing 75 on the motorway... Would hardly tick over.. Replaced all filters and fuel lift pump, etc.but no success, Eventually got it home and put some serious air pressure through the fuel lines, effectively emptying the fuel tank in the process.... Serious high fountain of diesel to be seen from the fuel filler but no more problems afterwards.. I must stress that doing this does have its risks - esp. from her LadyShip who was not impressed by the large quantity of dumped diesel on the grass..... Bon Courage !

    This is good old fashioned service. Well done in these days of "out of warranty - we don't care"
  16. Arjan
    What they said.... I have a pair and paid not a lot for them a few years ago. In France, parts are becoming a problem - not sure about the rest of the world. Considered getting one for the 110 rear axle but in the end could not be bothered..
  17. Arjan
    We use laser measurement equipment for that. Distance to base, distance to the top, measure the angle and you know the height. The fancy once have a build in function for that. We use them also for measuring space under high tension wiring..... Very useful.. But, not wanting to sound pedantic or so, why the need to measure the height bunt not accurately ?
  18. Arjan
    Very wise move !!! Well done. Good. Series are for life - don't forget that...... Mine has been with me since '79...

    You may find that if you fit belt they need to be the original type. We have 5 point hook in ones that only go in when the going gets tough.

    One can always ask....

    Numax CXV35MF Sealed Leisure Battery Twin poles and managed to start both 200 & 300 Tdi's in seriously cold weather. The LED's draw so little amps that we use it for the "living" quarters aswell. No need for special winch battery, can't comment on that. We have them in 5 vehicles.
  22. Arjan
    Hmm.... We found that the jerrycans (MOD ones) do fit bit it takes a bit of "wriggling".. We have flat ones and they work just fine. Try a MOD one for size..
  23. Arjan
    Can't comment on Marsland - never seen them in the metal`myself. Designa has no prices - but the ones I've seen were good. I'd love to rebuild a 109 one day - the overlanding started with one of those. Please take the time and effort to galvanize the bulkhead - makes life so much easier... All the best !!
  24. Arjan
    Not sure if they are "the only one" - but AFAIK they are the only one who supplies new replacement chassis for Series. I'd love to be wrong though. Please note that the use of a chassis that has alreay a VIN No. stamped in it brings you into a very grey area..

    Good Job !!
