Surveyor

Probably a stupid question but have you tried an foi with the MoD

Thanks for the last link, very interesting, ties up with an article I read today to do with them being exempt from the USA emissions due to the age

Guys

Thanks for the help, the vehicle is in an EU country, I will be investigating all suggestions and report back for others, the web page shown is a good one and will be looking further, only issue with it is that I need to have concluded the sale, I am being cautious and will not part with money till I get the keys and documents

Does anyone know who/where to go to get insurance for a foreign registered vehicle still abroad, plan is to bring it back to the UK and then register here.

All the companies I have spoken to will not consider it or even issue a cover note

Many thanks, will try and get more information, I have done an FOI to the MoD as I am the first civvy owner

Having a Land Rover which was upgraded by the British Army, I understand it was called "Operation Tithonus" does any one have any information on this?

Many Thanks

I have just had delivery of the 4 aerials to be fitted to the Defender Land Rover, generally they appear in good condition apart from the paint appears to be delaminating, does any one have any ideas on cleaning the paint and repainting

Thanks in advance

Many thanks

I may have to recover a land rover from a EU country, I will be alone and thinking of an A Frame towing system, does any one have advise on how and where to connect the tow if no dolly.

If I am going to use my land rover any idea where to hire a dolly to take the front wheels which has a NATO hitch compatible towing

Many thanks in advance

I have the original issued jack for the Land Rover, it has a turning mechanism to raise it, there is a bar which fits into the square socket and a ratchet handle, there appears to be a bit missing to connect the two, does any one have any suggestions.

Would like to try and keep as much as possible as originally issued

I have bought paint from Marcus Glenn, he is helpful you need advise, he seems to stock all NATO paint in cans and aerosols, I have matt green and black, green seems to match and I am still to use the black

There is another one for saleHakenkupplung NATO hitch.pdf

Having stripped out bits and found the FFR land rover still has the original wires from the wing Ariel to the cab including the fittings. I am purchasing the mountings and ariel to make the external appearance as a radio Land Rover.

Has any one wired these arials to a civilian radio so I can listen to local radio stations when traveling?

What are the pit falls, and has any one have good advice

I have the Land rover official parts hand book for the 1986 defender, does any one know the difference from the Military one?

I am aware of 2 different ones, was lucky to see a name on one and contacted the manufacture who supplied details, the only difference I the fitting onto the vehicle, proud or flush bolts

Many thanks will have a better look at latter

Thanks will try what you suggest, it quite hard, suspect its been there since decommissioned about 3 years ago

Not sure what to do, the dash board has residue of sticky Tape, it will not come off with meth's suggestions/

Thanks

As I open up bits and pieces I am trying to trace the wiring for the Ariel's and battery supply.

Does any one have a wiring diagram

I have been told over the weekend that my Land Rover Tithonuis may have been a command FFR, does any one know what kit would have been in it?

Does any one have a military parts manual or a location of one

Thanks

Many thanks

Richard

Does any one know where to get a replacement window catch for a Defender, this appears to be the original. the replacement ones are also difficult to source

Thanks

Neil
