Turbocharger Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Aah, bingo. That explains it, the 1963(?) format. And Mr Monster, I haven't said anything right since birth unless Mrs Turbo says I'm allowed to, and even then I'm wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MJG Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 0.They have just messed with the spacing. Which of course makes it illeagal. I once had a colleague (Also a nurse) called liz who had LI7 SRN and strategically placed a black mounting bolt (or two) to make the 7 look like a Z. It was a great reg. for a nurse called Liz - but when pulled by the cops and made to change it because she was 'misrepresenting' the numbers it meant diddly squat.....

RRX Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 2.8 v6 flywheel is the one to find, 2.9 ones fit fine but the 2.8 one is lighter. Type 9 V6 box or if you can find one a 2wd V6 MT75 box from a very late granada. you will also need the starter from the 24v as the others wont fit due to the oil drain from the head.

Chris123 Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Hi guys, I'm new to this forum... ish, was last here in the days of LRE a couple of years ago, and have a couple of questions about getting muddy! I've now finally got my 109 running slightly smoother than the knackered tumble dryer that it was, infact it'll run for over an hour now without having a lovely oil leak everywhere! Anyways, I've done a bit of greenlaning, and the last LRO mentioned a bit about different stuff to off-road, like play days and RTVs, and I'm quite keen to have a go at this. I know that as it's a LWB I'm going to be at a disadvantage, but I really just want to get muddy and have some fun. Is a 109 (completely standard, and with heavy duty springs) likely to be completely useless, or will I still be able to attempt most stuff? Also can I keep the soft top on, or would it be wiser to swap it over to a truck cab / hard top? I know I should really get a roll-cage if I want to get serious though. And lastly, anyone know of any events in the devon/south west area that I might be able to pop along too? Hopefully I'll be joining the CDLRC to see what that brings out. Cheers, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MJG Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 cant be any worse than a couple round here who both own BMWs (no thats not why they are REALLY sad) they haevMB V LB LB V MB cant remember quite how its done, but thats how they read My guess would be :- M8 VLB L8 VMB With the first 8's made to look like the letter B and a space between the V and the L/M. Again totally illeagal due to incorect spacing and the the figure 8 misrepresented as a B. Looks great 'till you get a pull and the reg you paid a mint for is put right by plod and then it is worth diddly squat. If you are going to spend money on a personal plate please why don't these folks for goodness sake do it properly and get something that says or spells something when correctly spaced, and without the aid of dodgedly placed mounting bolts. If you can't get one that means something without doing this then why bother ???? (I certainly wouldn't) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbocharger Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Yeah, imagine, making a B out of 13 or something like that, eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 I saw a tragically sad git in Sheffield who had bought a plate for his coupe that was something expensive yet meaningless like "ABS 3" and, to show that it wasn't totally pointless had in big letters on the plate "Andy Brian Smith III" so everyone would know it was his initials I guess it means you can heckle him by name for being a tit too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LR90 Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Welcome to LR4x4. Not sure the 109 would make a top challenge truck, though I know of a very capable stock 88, but you'll probably get far more fun/£. CDLRC sounds like a good place to start. Keep the soft top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Henson Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Welcome Chris. My first truck was a 109 and I used it off road at least once a month. I fitted a winch and bumper, 235/85/16 tyres, parabolic suspension, axle guards, snorkel, etc etc. They are cumbersome, but still a lot of fun. Les.

VeryDisco Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Its far cheaper and easier to change your name to match your plate. Quick call to the deed Poll offices and £40 on your card.
