Actually after having another look at the sign, the word "Regiment" is spelt as "Reciment", really the sign is a disgrace and should be taken down and corrected!!

Gday Jim, I discounted that Regiment as if you look close, it is a G, with a very small extra horizontal mark to differentiate it from a 'c'.

My bad, I just re-read it and you are right, there are several other regiments spelt correctly.

Yes, I do remember our discussion, long time ago eh!

Hey Tony Your going to be busy..Did use get the blue tray back up & running.I know that timming will get use All the set up.It even takes me a while with a new dizzy in setting it all up to find out it wont run so in & out with the dizzy to move the rotor button..

we did have a little fiddle with the dizzy but it is going but it needs a bit finer adjusting on the timing. we need to take the radiator out though because there is a white oilly drip coming from the front of the motor

HHHHMMMMMM not sure what that would be .Whats the oil like on the dipstick..It may just be a loose bolt on one of the front covers As i dont tighten fully till i have them back in the car..& there was not water contamination what so ever before i rebuilt it.I'll have to think about that one.

**Landy Smurf** · 19th February 2013, 09:08 AM

it may be a seal at the front there but we will have a quick look some other time. there is a bit of water in the dipstick, not much there but a little

Could be condensation from sitting so long..Mite need a good tune & a good run..

here should'nt be any water in the oil at all.. The only thing that i encounted when building it was one of the centre head bolts was striped & i drilled it & taped it & put a recoil in it or rethread..& was told & sold the bits from an engine building shop..That may have come loose but i cant see it happening... Before i i even pulled the car apart i was driving it to move it around a bit & there was nothing in the oil at all..Its got me worried now..

I got the badge i brought off ebay the other week.Its for the 50 years of landrover..Its about the size of a largish belt buckle.Now i have to find another one so i can put one on each gaurd of Harry..So if anyone sees one let me know..

If i cant find another i mite turn this one into a belt buckle..
