I love my 300 tdi 1998 LWB 12 seater it’s my umpteenth Landrover , I can even get 30MPG . I’ve owned several S3 ( still have one) . Also owned a series 2A 6 cyl loved it but not the fuel consumption. Had a LWB 2.1/4 diesel dreadfull, had a 12 seater safari 109 broke it for parts some of it still live on in my S3 SWB. ( the engine) sold a S3 at Mathiesons dec 2022. Good price £ 8600. Was in pretty good order. Gave away my other S3 ( owned for 20 years ) was an ex coastguard £1,500 . To much work to restore it. Also owned a classic Range Rover v8 gearbox gave up chap gave me £600 for it 2014. Bought a SWB TD5 for £3,500 2002. British car Auctions 2011. Good van fitted windows and side facing rear seats sold it 2014 £6,500 thought I did well. Probably worth twice that now. Then I ran a freelander 2 bought BCA was an HSE lovely car but struggled to tow my boat ( 20 foot Bayliner) then traded it for a Mitsubushi shogun ( brilliant car) excellent for towing. During lockdown I was persuaded to sell the Mitsubushi as I was told they would drop in value was a 2011. That was a mistake. They are still selling at the price I got for it. Anyway I am back with my 300 tdi 12 seater ( wife hates it) who cares! O and I also love my latest purchase L 322 what a machine , only issue is it’s size when parking. I love my landrovers . Owned them for 40 years . O I forgot I also owned 3 discoveries first one 200tdi best car I have ever owned during my lifetime. Then. TD5 discovery bit of a pig lots went wrong with it. Think I was just unlucky. I managed to rescue a 200 series discovery and it is still running those of you in the club will probably see it sometime it’s with a well known member. Cheers guys.
This video has given me so much confidence that I now feel I can hand paint my 1998 Land Rover Defender. Thanks guys very much appreciate, and I will have a Whiskey to hand. Regards Isle of Man
I was about to post my p38 also came with an ‘Action man Axe’ so must be Range Rover related! Now I know what it’s for 👍 Brilliant videos! Keep them coming!
100% keep the EAS - we are going to retrofit EAS back in the LSE that we have, a previous owner downgraded to coils. If you buy height sensors for £120 from any of the main vendors at the moment, they supply what appear to be P38 sensors but with a modified bracket. P38 sensors are about £40, and the only difference is the mounting bolt pattern. Someone smart has come up with a mounting plate to translate from P38 to RRC and is uplifting the price massively.
My concern was that the output readings for the P38 would be different but I guess EASunlock can be used to address any issues there. Will be a learning curve :)
Definitely retain air suspension, it can’t be beyond your skills to fabricate the small parts you require, have you considered 3D printing? Superb video stories.
Please please please keep the EAS!!!! The system is similar to the P38 which it was designed for by LR. The real problem you will have with converting an EAS can back to springs is the boge high control is not there so you sort of end up with a bit of mongrel…. If the system is working then I’d say replace the bags yes 30 years of wear and tear on rubber bladders is understandable. The pumps and dryers aren’t that dear now either as they are simple P38 items. I watched your first episode and was yelling at the tv to SHUT THE DRIVERS DOOR so the system would raise for you !!! Hahah it’s a safety feature the system will freeze if the doors are open. You are probably aware of this by now. Good luck with this lovely original classic !!!!
:) you were not the only one shouting "SHUT THE DOOR" at the screen. Yeah not having the Boge system would mean air ballons for when towing, not great idea at all, will persevere.
A very nice 110" Series IIB Forward Control. I'd love to have one of these. Conversely, I've never had any interest in the 101" Forward Control. Don't know why, I just know it never suited my fancy as the 110 Series IIB's did. Great video! Thanks for showing! Andy McKane, Maunaloa, Molokai, Hawaii, USA.
I had one of these with the 200tdi engine, drove it home 380 miles bent like a banana from deepest Cornwall. Taped a tarpaulin over the bent doors and roof, drove really well. I also had one with a Mazda Perkins diesel, it would climb a cliff, bloody noisy though. Good film and location, got any more like this?
@@WonkyWillowWorkshop No bought when I worked in Cornwall in 2003. It had gone off the road towing a four wheel trailer with a classic car on it and slid sideways into a tree hitting, the B pillar. Bent the chassis, both doors and roof. I pulled it out in my back yard, new doors and roof, re-bent the chassis on a home made jig, made from a factory roof stanchion found in the scrap skip, and a winch bolted to the concrete floor. It was still mot'd, and not on the insurance register. One of three Rangerovers I bought down there over time.
I started to watch your video to add to all the others I've watched to gain as much information on hand painting with coach paint. By the time the video had finished I couldn't have cared less what it was about as I found you both very entertaining. I did however find the straight no nonsense talking great and I think I shall have a couple of whiskey before I start painting my project vehicle. I'm therefore looking forward to seeing your future videos. Cheers Guys.
Hi it is tyro trials with the Scottish Land rover owners club ....if you join the club the calendar is full every wkend of different events from island trips to trials
That Landrover might be the reason I became addicted to the brand. I remember seeing one in the early 60 at my grandparents farm on Lismore and wanted one. I still have various landrovers 2 on Lismore I have been driving them since 1984. A long list started with a 6 cyl 109 to many to mention still have a 110 12 seater a series 2a ( bitsa) a series 3 and reciently a RR l322. ( love it by the way) keep landrovering.
You forgot the engine and gearbox. The axles are actually genuine article, they were precursors to those used on the 90/110s. Maybe not for the purists but the mods make it a much more driveable and useable machine that gets plenty of annual mileage under its belt as opposed to sitting in a shed.
so young. I'll be following the link, though first i will share this. PLEASE pass it on to Jim and his family: Grab a ph test kit from the chemist.. even high school labs have litmus paper. Cancer can NOT survive in an alkaline environment. He has an 'acidic' system. He must neutralize the acidity then move his ph to 7.0 or better. It takes three (3) days to achieve. I have treated and survived this. Love your work.. especially the 101FC! Crackin truck. God bless you all.
Proper day out by the looks of it. Lots of respect for all involved in organising the events. Hopefully one day in the not too distant future I will get to have a go at a trial for the first time
@@WonkyWillowWorkshop I think I gave the magazine to my grandson but I shall look to see if I have another copy of it as I used too write for military machines international when I wrote it
Nice. Volvo should start building these for the private market. Just a minor update to a very basic but extremely practical model. The outdoors and agricultural market would be all over them.
Hi, great to hear from you over in Sweden! Now we know the nickname for the laplander "poppy", think those engines are used in many applications including boats!
@@WonkyWillowWorkshop Not poppy, but "puppy", the dogs' baby. In Swedish "valpen". 🐶😉 The engine is the same B18 that is in VOLVO PV, DUETT, AMAZON, P1800 and 142/144/145 between 1961-1968 👍
@@WonkyWillowWorkshop yeah, and in almost every models from the 122 "Amazon" to the 140 - 145 / 240 - 245 well in to the 1980's with some slight changes through the years. And of course the P 1800 model as well. 👍🙂. And if you take good care of the engine it will almost go on forever ♾️
Hi i asked about the palm tree some say its for middle eastern land forces was used in the sixtys in Aden and sharjah or was used by 2 field sqn RE hope this helps
I've always wanted a pair of C303 axles for a Landy project, saw a few items of interest in there, noteably the Jeep 4x4 sign although I like most automotive signage anyway, thanks for the look round, I could spend hours looking through all the stuff.
I used to own a one tonne. With knocked winch , I spent two weeks stripping paint of it , luckily got some IRR olive drab paint , amazing stuff , covered in one application with a brush , it leaves no brush marks , great truck and miss it a lot , look after that one as you’ve done a great job 👍😉
no they are never called cab over engine, they are called Forward Control What Americans call things that are not American is a reflection of the narrow mindedness of Americans. Great shame that you are so desperate for a US You Tube audience you pitch this titled incorrectly, but then I suppose, as you are Scottish, acknowledging the British heritage of a vehicle is probably beyond your xenophobic capacity. It is a 101 FORWARD CONTROL - end of discussion
