Hi all,
I have recently purchased a 1971 series IIA 109 station wagon. Great vehicle. It has a 186S engine. Looking to slowly restore the vehicle over time. It is in good condition - the only rust affected area is minor in the driver footwell.
Current repairs completed/completing - new thermostat and upper cover, water hoses, plugs, electric fuel pump moved back to near the the fuel tank, new fuel line and hoses, filter, carby overhauled (currently being rebuilt).
I have thankfully managed to re-register the vehicle after being unregistered since 2005! I am very lucky not to have the headache of having the vehicle inspected. However I will methodically ensure brakes are all rebuild and roadworthy before I venture out for a trial run.
The carby was quite dirty and jets blocked up so I am having that rebuilt. After fixing any other issues and checking the head etc and any other potential issues I justified it as money well spent to have an expert overhaul the carby.
Would be great to hear from any they landrover owners with similar vehicles and any advice on embarking on a project car. Thanks in advance
Cheers,
Nick

Righto on to the brakes. The fella I got the car off had some spare parts, however I'm at odds end if they are in fact the right parts! See attached pics. Any help would be appreciated!!
Nice straight looking rig.
Are you sure it is a 186S motor as they were red engines and had a two barrel carburetor along with headers.
The 2850 (173) and 3300 (202) were blue.
I know that your engine could have been repainted blue and had another carby fitted.
Does it have an engine capacity size cast into the left hand side of the block behind the alternator.
The engine number will also reveal if it is a 186S.
Cheers, Mick.

Nice pics,
I have a 186S inlet and manifold, with a WW11 carby ( 186s ) on a 186A motor.
Dnt think I have a 186S head. Can anyone tell me the serial head numbers ????
Have a look here at the carby type you have.

Doesn't look like my WW11.

Hi all, yes solved the engine ID and running problems.
it is a 186 red motor. painted blue as suggested! I narrowed the problem to the carby (stromberg) so i had it rebuilt by a bloke here in adelaide. reinstalled and its running nicely.
we have now stripped the brake master, servo, clutch slave and master and in the process of refurbing/replacing as required. some attached pics.
next job is the doors and installing front seats..
doors are looking a little worse for wear - we will strip and re weld sections in as required. sounds like a tedious job! anyone done this before with success!??
front deluxe seats have been ordered. the car came with no seat rails etc so I'm on the hunt for some adjustable seat rails for the 3 seats... i have heard they are very expensive new? hopefully i can track down some from the wreckers or??
onwards.... cheers Nick. any feedback welcome
nice car,
thanks for the pics, I have a 2a shorty.
the door tops do look a bit sick, I found it cheaper to buy new door tops from british off road, I think, they came bare and painted, just needed to swap over the bits and I bought new bailey channel for the windows to slide in.
I think perentie door tops are the same and both windows slide in those.
Probably not worth wasting time trying to repair the doortops, they tend to be a 'consumable' item.
Doortops are a lot cheaper out of the UK but freight adds considerably. OK if you are buying other parts as well.

Paddocks (or the many other suppliers) can also supply the window channel, glazing strips etc.
