    Well I ordered the door tops, new shocks all round and leaf & chassis bushes from FWD Motors in Brisvegas on Monday, got a phone call this afternoon from Richard to say it is all there so he is sending it down on "Couriers Please" tomorrow. Can't wait for Saturday now to get my teeth stuck into it. Must go and put that penetrating oil into the passenger door so it has a couple of day's to soak through. Will keep you posted.

    Regards Ian
    Thought for the day.

    Why is there an expiry date on sour cream??

    The shocks are in , I have managed to get 1 x snapped door bolt out but the other one is stuck fast so I will keep soaking it with the hope it will let go. I attacked the front half of the chassis on Saturday with a wire wheel on the grinder, it is in excellent condition with only a bit of surface rust here and there which was quick to let clean up. The roof is off and the 70's shag pile carpet glued to it came off last night as well, (thank God for face masks)I degreased the whole underside of the car with Dynamo and hey presto the brake lights started working (go figure) I have attached a couple of more photo's

    Hi All

    Found a bit more time to do some work on Ralph, can anyone tell me though where the key switch is supposed to be on the 2a, mine is under the dash to the right of the choke. I have seen them in a few different locations though and as I am rewiring it I want ot get it right. The passenger door top bolt that sheared off will not come out (S.O.B.) so I found a new/old stock door for a reasonable price to replace it. I have removed the doors and rubbers and windscreen only to find a couple of problems (read rust holes)which I am working on at the moment. I have taken some photo's but this bloody computer logs me off the site when I try to upload them so I'll do it tomorrow at work. The bottom drivers door hinge? does it have a threaded plate behind it as mine continually spins as if it is snapped in half. I was thinking of cutting the bolts off and fiting nut serts in it,s place. Stay tuned for pic's tomorrow.

    Cheers Ian

    I presume you're talking of the Ignition switch? If so, this should be in the instrument panel between the gauges. Early ones with the light switch and later ones a key on their own. Choke on our 11A is top right of insrument panel

    The key switch on Landrover 2a is located in the centre of the instrument panel on petrol models, up to 1967 combined with the light switch, after that, by itself but now combined with the key start. Diesels have the combined glow plug/starter/electrical services switch next to the engine stop knob below the instrument panel. I'm afraid I cannot remember whether the later diesels had the switch in the same place as earlier ones (I think so) or the same as the petrol ones.
