Mine's in the same contract too. 172-404

Hi guys
thanks very much for the feedback, i'll give the cleaning another crack over the weekend.
And also thanks for the threads on the dipsticks!
Uncleho
do you know where i might find the haynes workshop manual? i have the original owners manual up in cairns but i suspect it will not be of great use.
also do you think it will matter much with the series 3 rims? it has 2 series IIA rims 2 series III rims and t more IIA rims spare.
And with the extractors, you might be able to tell if mine or yours were from the start is that mine run through the rear PTO holes in the chassis with muffler between the rear 2 xmembers.
thanks once again for the great help fellas!
James

G'day Jameshuelin

You maybe able to get a Haynes from British Off Road at Forest Glen near Nambour,Paxton would be able to tell you,and or order one for you, if not try the Caboolture Sunday Markets as there is a bloke there that specialises in 2nd hand motor manuals, or you maybe able to get one from Evil bay or one of the city motor bookshops, but I think I saw a series haynes up at BOR when I was there last week,won't be going up until next week to get some tailgate struts for the Rangie

the exhaust comes from the extractors,down under the front chassis rail, then up over the next one by the gearbox, then through the PTO holes and then across at the rear with the muffler,as per original, (but mine has the muffler in the centre between the X-members) then out on the right rear, same as original


BTW. James, your vehicle's army rego No was 174-246 date of disposal at Brisbane auction,it was noted as spotted in 2008 alive but in need of work.

P.S. how do you know the info about the sighting of my car andis there any more, i.e. owner location etc? thanks again

g'day Jameshuelin

I got that info from the REMLR.com (Registry of Ex Military Land Rovers) it is in the army registration numbers section, where the vehicles ARN's are listed by chassis no. ( that sighting was noted by a member in 08 and was passed on to the administrator for inclusion with the rego no) that is why somebody recommended that you join REMLR it is a free website and the REMLR forum is hosted by AULRO, where the members chat the same as here, you will see the REMLR forum in the forums list on the front page of this forum.


cheers

ohk
sounds great
i'll do that
thanks once again
James

Hello once again,
I'm sure using up all my questions, but this one's fairly important.
To do with roadworthy
my car has no seatbelts, but technically has 11 seat positions, it has been unregistered since 2006, at that time i t was registered with 3 seats.
Is there any chance i can register it with 11 seats, and also with no canopy or door tops? (just windscreen) manufacture 10-68
i'm really stumped on this one and is quite a large problem.
cheers once again
James
