miketomcat Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Happy to hold in Southampton but I doubt that helps much. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puffernutter Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 So, that's half the story - the ending. Where is the start i.e. V8Freak's address/location?? Cheers Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landroversforever Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 I'm happy to hold onto it Ralph if it can get to me? SN7 area of Oxfordshire for those that don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkie Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 I'm based just off the A303 north of Yeovil if someone can get it near to me, I'm working alot at Royal Cornwall Hospital at the moment so I don't mind having a little trip for the last few miles to Camborne. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it can get to me by Thursday night next week I can get it down as far as Tarrant Hinton? (Great Dorset Steam Fair) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkie Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Yes I could do that if I could meet you in Shaftsbury? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted August 17, 2018 Author Share Posted August 17, 2018 Thanks guys, if we can get it from Mr Freak to Ross, then it could be a working plan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulcan bomber Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Ralph, ask Richard (Reb78). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reb78 Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Haha. I can get it from Neils to Launceston but not for about four weeks now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8 Freak Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 I can get it down to M25 (A1M) junction quite easily if someone is passing at a convenient point if that helps... (I work in Welwyn Garden City) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkie Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 I will be in Leicestershire on Monday/Tuesday this week. Can anyone get it to Dave (Vulcan Bomber) so I can collect it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no mad rush to get it here, I've lived without the OD for almost 12 months now so another 3 or 4 weeks won't matter, that would be great Rich if neil can get it to you, I can collect from you when your down in cornwall next, or if some one can get it to VB & monkie can collect that would work, but seems a bit mad to send it up country a bit so it can come South & then west. to all cheers for the offers guys, much appreciated.

I travel a lot over the country showing my dogs and live in the West Country, so I may have been able to help. As it is, it is sorted - a great bunch of folks on here!

monkie Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Is there a plan sorted? Am I meeting Landroversforever near the Steam Fair or standing down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted August 22, 2018 Author Share Posted August 22, 2018 can't get it from Neil to Leicester, so I think stand down guys, cheers for the offers of help, I waiting on a reply from Rich (reb78), so a few more weeks waiting won't hurt.

monkie Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Okay, I will let you know if I have to towards Hertfordshire with work incase reb78 isn't able to get it to you for a while, or if he wants to drop it off with me on his travels past Yeovil. I'm finding myself coming down to the hospital in Truro quite a bit recently for work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roverdrive Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Travelling from the Wirral to Ashburton early September if that is of any use? More likely to be A roads than M5 till past Hereford depending on time of day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jocklandjohn Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Do you need any gaskets for it Ralph - I *think" I may have some from when I had one fitted? If you do I'll have a hunt (may be mistaken but I'll look) and can post them on to you if I come across them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted August 24, 2018 Author Share Posted August 24, 2018 Oh yes please, I'll need the adpator plate to transfer box & OD to adaptor plate at the very minimum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jocklandjohn Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Hi Ralph - found one - the big one. Also in the bag were two shaft seals - are these seals standard LR bits (I think they might be) or something specific for the overdrive? If you want the big one (and the wee ones are GKN-specific bits) dm me a postal address and I'lll put in post this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted August 26, 2018 Author Share Posted August 26, 2018 Oh thanks they will be useful, PM on it's way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
