Thanks guys. The old one that I took out was beyond repair. I might of located a replacement but might be better off getting a bigger coat. Photo's to follow of the rebuild.

Hi All,

I have recently completed a restoration of a ex-RAF 1965 SWB Series 2A Landrover. Everything is now completed and the vehicle passed it's first MOT yesterday and is now back on the road for the first time since 1999.

However, I am having no luck locating a replacement circular standard Smiths heater unit.

Anyone have any ideas of where I could locate one??

I remember Crusader 80 - At the time my father was a REME Sgt and was attached to a Royal Engineers unit. I may have some photos of the exercise. If i find them I will place them on.

I remember the one with the fogs, it was a 1982 build (2 years after Roadtrain production started), ex RAF Staxton Wold, no winch, about 6500 miles and still had the protective film on the door trims and headlining. RAF reg was 78AN14 and chassis was WHV63223 making it the last but one Crusader ever built. It was cast in 1996, disposed via Aston Down and finally sold at Jackson's tender sale in 2005. The civvy reg is now EPT 532X if anyone has seen it since.:-D

I was stationed at RAF STAXTON WOLD and remember this Scammell - It was used as a prime mover for one of the moble radars sited there.
