Re: New user registrations
Hi Mick, Yes, John mentioned it this morning - I'm only up to page 29 (lift up roof conversions!) as the LRO goes to the smallest room of the house when it arrives, otherwise I'd get no work done :whistle: It does make you wonder who picks these snippets up and why they didn't contact us for a bit o...

Re: Hi Everyone
Hi Steve, Welcome :tiphat: We were joined at last weekend's camp by a 109 SW with a Howling Moon roof tent - looks like a quality product and seems to work well, though you do have to climb a ladder to go to bed :neener: You can just see it here: http://www.rms1.co.uk/landy/cara/litton1.jpg Cheers, ...
Re: Hi All...
Hi Dave,
Good to see you here
Hope you'll be able to join us at some shows this year (new family commitments dependent, of course )
Cheers,
Robin.

Re: My 1967 Carawagon (no name yet!)
Yep, and Disco 200TDi turbos are ten-a-penny compared to 300 or Defender
Of course, it's only easy if you've got the gear - I seem to remember you don't do your own welding, so if you're thinking about doing the same to your new project, just let me know

Re: My 1967 Carawagon (no name yet!)
Hi Alex, Yes, the Disco 200TDi turbo fits the 4 pot LWB chassis with a 'small' (see below!) scallop out just below the turbo: http://www.rms1.co.uk/landy/cara/scallop1.jpg http://www.rms1.co.uk/landy/cara/scallop2.jpg I went a bit overboard and cut more than I needed to, but I didn't want to get it ...

Re: My 1967 Carawagon (no name yet!)
Another couple of half days now sees the engine fitted, with Disco 200TDi turbo & scalloped chassis, alternator mounted using series mount with spacers, exhaust header and downpipe fabricated and rad mounted and piped up. http://www.rms1.co.uk/landy/cara/nearlydone.jpg Just got the battery tray ...

Re: My 1967 Carawagon (no name yet!)
2 1/4 D engine out this morning: http://www.rms1.co.uk/landy/cara/engineout.jpg and the Disco engine going it this afternoon :cheers: http://www.rms1.co.uk/landy/cara/enginein.jpg I'm cheating a bit here as this was only a trial fit to see how the turbo fits in and to see the exhaust routing, so it ...

Re: My 1967 Carawagon (no name yet!)
Well, I took the Carawagon out for a spin yesterday, and what a disappointment :shakehead: I don't know if it's a 'good' 2.25 Diesel or not, but what I do know is that I can't live with it as it is. 45mph flat out and 30mph up hills - that's no good for what I plan on using it for :thud: So, as I ha...

Re: LR Classic Camper Rescue
Ah, a sunken footwell, I wonder if it was a SW at some time, or does it look as though it's been hacked in? I also wonder how they would have got the bed to work if it had SW style rear seats? If you remember, Patrick's has a 2 seat forward facing bench seat, with the base made from ply, so the cush...

Re: LR Classic Camper Rescue
You lucky so&so Mick :whistle: That looks straighter, and in better nick, than my recent purchase - added to the rarity of the roof, if you'd offered it to me instead of buying it yourself, I'd have had it like a shot! It's interesting though, that the rear side windows are standard. Patrick's S...
