thanks i must try harder

britain at war mag did a realy good story on this ship

is the mag still in print ?

thats nice in a wrong kind of way why would you do it though

i was just wondering does anybody know what was built at the old ldv plant i know it was bombed during the war i think it was the wolesely works at the time you can still see the repairs in what ldv called c block

[i worked there for two years] and i think tanks were built on the site to

it all seems a shame as i think it is bound to be bulldozed just like longbridge

umm i may have to form a plan and yess i am aware of them as sought after trucks much like landys are stateside

hi mate welcome

true that may spark a bit of outside interest

has any one done an arab style vehicle i wouldent put money on it

nor me if its almost unabtanable what else can you do

i am just thinking the yota would be unusual if they were used by any forces

toyota bj40 diesel just wondering as this is for sale not far from me

and i am thinking it might be practical and fun and evan better if they were used by any armed forces for a replica or would that not playing by the rules.

looks like fun i dont like landys much ...but i do like stage one v8s and that looks like a nice one

thanks for all the good info seems a shame none seem to have survived i wonder if any got left behind in africa

after chatting to a few mates we got talking about ploughing engines of the steam kind and my mate said he had seen a shervick at a steam event ploughing.

i said that i did not think a propper shervick had been restored and that there were other types of sherman based tractor i thought one was built in lincs but not to sure .

any ideas chaps

i hope so i find halftracks very interesting

well i am santa

for the kids at the local primary school and nursery at least

so i will see what i can do for you chaps:)

how could they have been there for so long and nobody found them

whilst a very worthy cause indeed

i cant help feel it is too close to remberance day and it steals a lot of fund raising opertunaties

it just seems that the country stops for terry wogan and children in need

its a pity more celebs dont get involved with help for heroes and the poppy apeal.

grumpy of birmingham

he he the laptop was very fast indeed at stopping i was a bit unhappy to say the least the kids were in hiding for a day or two

my plan is to keep my ear to the ground all the 110 tens i have seen for sale all seem to have loads of invoces saying that they have had major repairs

welding gearboxes and head work so without upseting the loyal landy folks

i am wondering if thats the way to go

my jeep runs a six cylinder 4.2 and does a tad over 16 to the gallon

on a run thats what it did on sunday when i went to bristol to fit a jeep engine

i am open to ideas i may sell the jeep if i can find somthing as tough as the jeep i had thought that it may have been posible to find a ex army 110 but as i say i am a bit concerned about how tough they realy are

[sorry landy fans]

me old jeep is on its second or third time round the clock in good nick and with all its original power train

thanks fo all the help guys all very usefull i went and a good look over the 110 that was for sale it was ten years younger than my jeep 1981

the chap selling was an ok sort he was telling me how it had been very well maintained it had

newly rebuilt 200 tdi

rebuilt gearbox

new transfercase

new bushes all round

maybe i messed up but i did not buy it the doors were rotten the bulkhead was rotten and just looked like it had been used as a kennal

i know my old jeep is getting close to 30 years old but it still has all its original power train and apart from being thirsty is just about 100 per cent reliable

you watch it will breakdown on the way to work in the morning

sorry for not thanking you guys earlyer but the kids decided to fill my laptop with lucozade a few weeks back and you know what thats not good thing

i thought i would ask here as i know i will get honest opinions

a chap i know is selling a landy 110 12 seater he says its got a 200 engine in it now it on a e plate so should be turbo diesel rather than a later 200 tdi he has only had it a few weeks and its just not comfy enough for him

now then i want to know what sort of mpg would you expect from either version of engine i know the tdi has a much better rep than the other engine

i have yet to see it up close but it sounds solid and reasonable buy as i have kids and junk to move about and my jeep is heavy to run as it has a 4.2 in it

in 1976 aker bilk and his band played our barn as it was the local young farmers dance and they were joined by the wurzels

how super is that

if i get lucky with am mv thats just what they will be doing my youngest helps out any way

one evil mogwie
