Thread: How do you intend using your 110 or Perentie?

It has a re-galvanised chassis, full engine rebuild, new gearbox and transfer case, new front end, exhaust system and wiring harness and new Michelins all round plus lots of other replaced bits and pieces. Judging by the dates on various things this took place in mid 2009. I couldn't be more pleased and will be heading off for a couple of weeks off- road camping in a few weeks to try it out. My main problem is that the Central Diff Lock light is not working and I am not sure if its engaging or not when I pull out the knob - presumably I can jack up a couple of wheels and try rotating them? Can't wait to try it out - the last time I owned a Landrover was a Series 2a in 1969 so I'm a bit rusty!

These vehicles are 25 years old. Electrical connections corrode. However they will probably do better than modern vehicles.

Thanks for the welcome Dave,

Your Buyers Guide gave me the clue about the white no. on the rocker cover in the absence of a service record.

Ah, good!
So it was worth the price for the Guide?
Good buying.
Glad I could help.

110 cargo, with winch, only one in Sydney, March auction. Defeated late challenge from two other bidders, one from Kincumber (might have been Trraca, but at least he got one too )(seems to be a gentleman of about my vintage) How will I use it? - Daily driver, sides rolled up, silly grin , go some places others can't--still with silly grin, but now even wider . Pretty much says it all. Wish List :- power steering, Turbo, Intercooler, Diff locks, all pretty much non-urgent.More urgent - Snorkel (don't wish to reprise the demise of the uninsured Triton, which I dropped off the dam wall, on the wet side, with the engine running)and some bulb holders for the dash lights, specifically the ones that clip into the back of the speedo.
