Thanks for all the information, I am going to have a  good look at the points suggested this weekend

It doesn't seem to do anything!

Sorry, I hope that there is an arrow on this picture?

All very good stuff, thanks a million. I have attached a picture of the dash. The round silver button is a bit of a mystery! Any ideas what that was for?

Coincidentally I also received a reply from my FOI request (the email for this if anyone is searching for it is cio-foi@mod.uk) The response is attached. Does this mean that it went to Hong Kong with the Gurkhas?

ps

btw  ,  pity you went direct to  the RLC at Deepcut.  I know sometimes much is missing from records.  In fact I know of a  --KB--  Lightweight (abt. same age) much was missing.  The owner did another history search using  FMW  (actually I understand a bloke named Fletcher). He managed to turn out the lot inc. the 'hiden-history'  .  I received a copy for perusal & to file ,  ISTR  18 A4 pages worth inc. all he previously obtained from the RLC Museum.  Much was 'generic' military info. but good if not already a Ex-MOD Landie owner.  FMW seems to have a bit extra ability and a few £ cheaper  LoL   I don't know Fletcher , I understand he is Geof. Fletcher who was co-author of a good Ex-MOD 'Series' LR book abt. 3 years ago - worth having - abt.  £18  ,   worth having as a set of spark-plugs and 1 gall of a good engine oil will cost you more..

 

Thanks for this I am going to drop him an email now here it is in case anyone else wants it freemil@btinternet.com

Ruxy, thank you very much for your incredible help.

My land rover does have:

Bonnet lock hasp, 

Pedal rubbers on brake & Clutch  (not throttle) 

Aux. switch panel at centre of plastic dash

Towing D Rings

Reflectors are on the body panels and have been carelessly half painted over by IRR paint!

It doesn't have: 

Ammeter, where would that be? 

Chamois leather swivel housing gaiters (although they may have been taken off by a previous owner I suppose)

Sun visors

Front Bumperettes

Thank you for the information about the axles I will need to do some research on this 

Right thanks, yes it can be locked

Filler cap is red if that helps!!

Dear all thank you very much for your help. 

Ruxy - Mine is a late series 3 and it does have high level inertia seat belts and dual line brakes, I don't have a towing pack as at some point has had a rear 3/4 chassis so was probably lost or sold then. It has the de-luxe bonnet I am not sure what you mean by hasp on filler cap?

Hi all, I applied for the B card (attached) from the RLC archive (at great expense!) and excitedly downloaded it, but haven't got a clue what it means!! Can anyone help me? I have recently fulfilled my ambition and bought a 1984 Land Rover, Series 3, SWB... Thank you in advance for any help I am really excited to learn more..
