Thread: My new 101!

Gav, defiantly yes to Melrose come hell or high water! Mick, thanks again for all your help. It was a great day with a lot of good discussion. Sleepy, not exactly sure about the Irish stuff yet (PS, love your truck, and remember looking at it when it was for sale, thinking I wish!!). Sadly they gotta little excited with the steam cleaner when it got here. Will be doing a little research once I have it home. It'll be wheels off, drums off, swivel seals to do, new tilt on, 4.7:1 diffs to find and fit, fuel tank to check/replace.... and the list goes on. Think the V8 could do with a little love too as the diesel is still on the flip side! Das, the road trip would have been great until as such time as it stops and I have to deal with it!! My instincts were saying no, and of late I've started to trust them more! Will post more when I get it, inc lots of pics of the good and bad!

There are "Irish Guards" logos on the doors. The suspicion is it was used by the Irish Guards.

Agreed new canvas and a proper NATO Pintle...

I have (well, Mick has) the new canvas, and I'm going to try and sweet talk AJ into giving me the correct NATO hitch for it as it would suit the trailer I'm going to build!!! Anyone got a pair of spare wheel step rings and extended nuts to go with?? Oh, the joys of a 101. Was good to get back behind the wheel of one tho!!

But a Sankey? got to be cheaper than a home build?

Nah, going to build a 1.8 x 3.0 flat bed to carry the Series 2 Tdi Shorty, with under floor storage..

Looks like its been towing something heavy already?

Yes indeed.. Quite a bow on the towbar... There are no braces running to it either which didn't help too much.
