The long bit between I and J looks like a door check rod. (To stop the door opening too far)
Cheers, Mick.

Whoops, I meant between I and K.

I'll investigate that Mick. I don't know these Landys very well but it surprises me they used a rod, I'd have thought something flexible such as a bit of leather would have been more likely. Still, I'll check that out before pulling the doors off.
The thermostat is out of a series one( same as mine assuming that the top is the right diameter)
My early Series 2 has the check-rod with the bolt on receiver (welded from around 1960 odd). The end opening in the receivers are pretty worn, so I'll have to look at resto options for those.Quote:

In relation to things in the back of rovers.
Check out what came out the back of one I had!

Well I think the number plate is the most exciting object - call him Arrow! :D

I think you will have to look for a s/h one. Should be some on someone's bulkhead that is otherwise rusted beyond repair.
