Enigma Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Before the Dutch G-wagons were shipped to Afghanistan they changed the axles for stronger ones. Guess they figured they would be hardworked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil munga Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 (edited) its good to see a few of these , this looks like the later model early style body but later dash can't remember now but think they class it as the W461 ,, do you think this might be the Turkish built version , probably only got middle diff lock , There were some dutch ones over Catterick about a month back but didn't see any badges so not sure if G-wagen / puch G or Peugeot's P4 think they'd be the G wagens because there were hardtops as well as open toped ones Edited November 30, 2009 by phil munga Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil munga Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 here's a link to the latest Australian military 6x6 G's , these are RHD so there is a limited supply in the UK but think the cheapest in the UK is about 50k ,, http://australiangelandewagenownersassociation.yuku.com/topic/624 then there's a couple here http://www.gwoa.co.uk/index.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=8837 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abn deuce Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Attractive Vehicle , Seems it would have done much better off road if it had been made a 6x6 and not just a 6x4 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewroberts.1953 Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Thye French should have loads to dispose of soon, but may not allow sale within EU. These will of course be the P3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stone Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 G-Wagens are lovely vehicles, really solidly built. Sadly this includes the clutch and gearbox, you might end with Hulk-like thighs! Not the kindest vehicles on the driver... Stone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil munga Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 G-Wagens are lovely vehicles, really solidly built. Sadly this includes the clutch and gearbox, you might end with Hulk-like thighs! Not the kindest vehicles on the driver... Stone I find this very strange because this is not something that has been noticed in driving more than 300,000 miles in G wagens , They have a hydraulic clutch cylinder and a spring assisted clutch peddle if the spring assister is not working then maybe it could be hard work ,, the gearboxes are OK but they are from the car range ( alloy ) and work from the gear selector via selector rods , if not greased it can make gear changes stiff , I fitted the 410 van type gearbox to my fathers cast steel much stronger ,, I'd post a pic as its an ex forces vehicle but not an MV maybe there might be another thread topic "other restorations" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
