Thread: Army vehicle disposal

At what point in the game do you think they will start get rid of spares? I assume they have a decent number of rotables and I am chasing a 4bd1(t).

And anyone know if the doors lock?

Key barrel is a direct swap, Dave mentioned that at some point.
The doors on the ones I've seen haven't had locks, not really what you'd want on a military vehicle
Could always do a Mr Bean style door lock.

Land rovers might be flat and have rivets, but is a garden shed door lock really acceptable?

Maybe there are reproduction NAS door locks (their 90's had half doors) or even some half door locks you can buy (that suit the key you get).

Who needs door locks anybody with a blunt knife can enter through the soft top or undo the straps at the back

All the hard-tops i've seen have had the rear door secured by rope.
This was the main reason I didn't buy one as my daily drive, I'm slightly paranoid about vehicle security

Would you put a key-lock on your rifle ?


the reality is that the army needed them useable without having to go looking for whoever had the keys in their pocket

the soft top 110s are entirely keyless...... doors, ignition, steering & fuel tank

the toolboxes are opened by a square key carried in a fixture on the inside of the driver's door

I think from memory that the station wagon types with the defender doors had key lock barrels in the doors, but I would guess that no keys would be available for them either.

Ser 3 key locks can be installed - the soft tops had the Ser 3 burst proof door locks retro fitted

If i had any money at all i can tell you exactly where it would be headed right now...

It's already been happening for some time.
Boxes of spares have been going through Manheim. Often listed as scrap.
