I've been considering this: http://www.milweb.co.uk/classifieds/large_image.php?ad=67948&cat=

I spoke to you on the Clansman 351 yahoo group. You gave me info on charging the Clansman batteries. Jack.

Thanks for the information so far. The information about the electrical system is interesting. I have seen some vehicles with a 24V electrical system with a regulator to change the 24V to 12 for the ignition system. Is this a modification or a military addition? If I am to buy one of these vehicles, I would be looking for one that is as standard and unmodified as possible. Thanks for the information about the fuel as well. Jack.

Thanks for all the replies! Have we met somewhere before Iain?!

Hello, I am new to the forum. I have signed up as I have an interest in Land Rovers. I have a full UK amateur radio licence and some Clansman radio equipment. I would like some information on FFR Land Rovers. (Series 3) I have a small amount of knowledge of non military Land Rovers. Some of the questions I have are: Fuel. I am aware that the non military Land Rovers are designed to be run with leaded petrol, however you could swap the cylinder head for one from a rover car to allow it to be run on unleaded. Is this the same with military Land rovers? If I were to buy one, what should I look for? I know about the usual problems with rusty bulkheads and footwells, as well as the rear crossmembers. Is there someone who can provide a 'buyers guide' with specific points to check? Are there any major differences between non military and military versions apart from the 24V electrical system and the heavy duty chassis? What is the parts availability for them? I'm sure I will think of more questions to ask later! Thanks for your time, Jack.
