Good to meet up yesterday Eddie, really appreciate the time and effort to get the table etc up North, won’t take much to get it ship shape😉 look forward to your next visit Up here or will meet up somewhere, I’ll bring the Rum.

Will be selling mine sooner than later, it was running...... I’d say it’s a rolling usable oily rag example or future restoration. Geoff

Thanks Ruxy, had a call yesterday from a forum member, so may have one coming North in next few months. (Eddie If your reading this thanks again and really appreciated the call yesterday, here’s the pics I took when I was in the gulf, regarding our conversation when I went over to the Cherry B) Cherry B was our escort ...... that’s the Esso Pacific.

Selling due to arrival of another Landy, 109” Series 3 FFR (1980) solid land Landrover, not concourse but very good, few bad bits , few bits on bulkhead, not major, doors and door top which I was going to do but no time now, it’s Running and basically as it left the Army, previous owner give it a quick paint and used it regularly and did a few shows. It’s a rag top but when in service was a Hard top. (please not the rear two candles were add on’s by last owner, they will be removed before sale.) Was with Royal Artillery HQ then 22nd Battery , 32 Regiment RA £4500 For more info call Geoff 07966493625

Thanks Robin, I’m not on FB but any details Much appreciated, Could make contact through a family member.

Any Land Rover experts out there? may sound like a daft question, But will a 2 1/4 diesel cylinder head fit the later 2.5 diesel?

As in the title, have a 2.5 N/A Diesel from an early 90 , looking for a cylinder head, as mine is cracked. thanks in advance Geoff 07966493625

Wanted, Radio table /cage or bits for a Landrover Lightweight FFR Contact 07966493625 thanks in advance Geoff

I haven’t seen any Mike, the R216 and PSU, In above pic, come from an estate sale, I’ve never seen a PSU for sale or Many R216. I,m on the lookout for a Larkspur C11 ( SSB) / R210 set up if you come across any. bought a FFR Landrover Lightweight , 1974, needs work but it’s not too bad, I’d like to able to kit it out in Larkspur gear or Clansman ( have all the clansman gear) the cable you may be able to source one from Don Blanchard.

Hi Mike, Long time no see, obviously won’t see you at the W&P !!! this the 240v PSU, the R216 is a cracker set, as covers a lot of VHF amateur bands etc.

Haven't been for many years, personally thought it was better at Folkestone Racecourse, just my opinion, as for Brexit , that's not the downfall of the W&P, its just greed and bad management. The last time I went it was back at hop farm, but they had ditched the reduced entry for serving personal and no reduction for Veterans..... that says it all about the people running it. That was my final visit as far as I was concerned. Hope to get to the YWE this year.

Would anyone know of a Zil 131 kitted out with radio that was in Cheshire, believe the owner emigrated, just wonder what happened to the Zil ?

The B40 is showing as sold.

My thoughts also, possibly an appearance on eBay..... with a silly price tag. Ruxy, that’s Interesting about the steel, I know little about the Lightweight but have seen a lot which were rotten compared to other series LR’s. Reason I never went OTT with bid, also the fact I’ve just bought a Series 3 109 FFR....😀

I bid £3500, but was a blind bid as couldn’t get there to view, missed out on one that had had the chassis and bulkhead done ( galvo) for £7000.

£4500 winning bid, about £5700 with fees....

Anyone have rough guide price of the above, it retains its Military Trim and 24v system, it’s a soft top comes with several spares including A civilian canvas and Sankey trailer. It’s on the road and will be tax and MOT exempt next year. Very good condition, except a few bits on the bulkhead, I can sort these at a later date as it’s not major and had no advisories in last two MOT,s Its nice example that hasn't had any artistic flare. If I went by eBay prices I wouldn’t be buying it. Been a long time since I’ve had a Landy so out of touch with prices , but not as out of touch as with some sellers on eBay. I’ve had three in the past so know a little bit and done a complete Bulkhead restoration on one....

Thanks Richard, Gives me a wider search

Thanks Jenkinov and Paul, Jenkinov, its the whole filter casing etc I need (my mistake in original post), it bolted on to the frame, anything similar and similar size would do.

Looking for some bits for a WD BSA B40 I recently acquired, the oil filter and the battery cover if any one knows of a source ?

Thanks If anyone does come across him please direct him here. M7RFD

Anyone have any contact with Leighton yet?

Ron, I used Por15 on my Matchless G3L tank, although never really had petrol in for a long time but was impressed with the stuff. Thanks again For the Vokes plate.

Thanks Richard couldn't remember if it was bore or a bearing...... didn't have it to hand as its in storage.

Tom, Can you elaborate on the engine number, I've Some crank cases that have had the small small brass plate riveted on over the original number, the number is re stamped above the brass plate, the plate is just an identification regarding ( I cant remember if its bore size or bearing ??? someone will chirp in.) This would of been done by the REME at some point.
