Thanks Alex.AlexB wrote:Well done Chris. Hope it is not too long before it is touring again. What engine has it - 6 pot?
The old six pot is long gone and now its got a 200 Tdi but without the turbo, intercooler and oil cooler. Not sure how it will drive but I've read some internet articles about the 200 Di set up and seems it could be better than a 2.25 regular land rover diesel. Any way there seems to be plenty of room under the bonnet for changes if need be. Some previous auction papers I found on line suggest the bulkhead has been changed, possibly for a series 3, 6 pot version but whatever it is its been modified to accommodate the starter motor . The gearbox looks to be original but the back axle is of the Rover type whereas the suffix H 2a's were fitted with the salisbury axle so I've read! There's an overdrive on the gearbox.
So lots to research and sort out but hey the good thing is that most of the Dormobile conversion is present and will provide a good basis for future improvements.
Can't wait for it too arrive home to find out more!!
Cheers and kind regards Chris
