My new toy!!
« on: April 04, 2006, 19:09:49 »
Its a 110 TDI 3 speed auto. Despite military colour scheme It is not an Exmilitary it was originally an electricity board vehicle (hence gas bottle locker on near side). The auto conversion was from new and carried out by VMTP of Shrewsbury. The original engine was a 19J but 85bhp is not a lot to drive a 110 through a Torqueflight box and it was getting tired. It was replaced by a 200tdi from a ’96 vehicle (claimed 40K) fitted in late 2001 at about 101K. At approx 118K it had a new torque converter fitted and the gearbox serviced (seals etc) while it was out of the vehicle. A new fuel tank was fitted last year. Recently It was fitted with re-conditioned injectors and new glow plugs. It was serviced (air/fuel/oil filters and oil) in September last year and has done only a few hundred miles since. There has been the usual replacement of exhaust bits and drive shaft U/Js over the years. The vehicle is fitted with an hydraulic winch manufactured by Superwinch of (Original fitting). The winch capacity is unknown but I would guess about 2-3 tonnes. The hydraulic pump is driven from the PTO and the pump is engaged and the winch operated from the cab.

I am sure you would. But its staying on. I just need to free up the "free spool" leaver. It is stiff from lack of use. Lots of WD40 I think.

The wings are wrong for an ex-mod. Plus the MOD would not have had it changed to Auto.

<sticks tongue firmly in cheek>

Perhaps you should convert it back to Electric Board spec and logos, you're far less likely to have the bobble hats phone the police and report you for breaking the NERC bill :-)

Just to let you know, you should not go looking for mud when laning. Lots of mud on private sites.

Our local club has a laning trip out this sunday. Starting from Welshpool and going up the Long Mynd. You are welcome to join us.
