    Converting a 109" into a 1 ton

    Hi everyone, was thinking of converting my regular 109 into a 1 ton. Specifically I'm referring to the extended spring hangers. Has anyone ever modified their regular 109 chassis with extended hangers? Do I need to look out for other potential issues when doing this? Any pictures would be...

    Series 2a Diesel Won't Start

    Hello, I've been scratching my head over this for a week or so now. I recently got a 1969 Series 2a 109 Station Wagon, she needs plenty of work to get back to good condition but the chassis is good and most of the bodywork is in decent condition. It was a diesel from the factory, but at some...

    Restoring Rosie (109 Station Wagon)

    Hi All, Some of you may have remembered some posts from late last year regarding changing rusty sill channels on my 109. I've got the parts and paint and noticed some other gremlins while pulling the dashboard apart, so I've decided to overhaul her. I have a 25-point list of jobs I need to do by...

    59' Series 2 109 Pickup Body Panels WTB

    Hi, In a desperate search for a pair of rear body panels for the pickup box sides. Would be the rear wheel well or rear wing. These are proving to be tough to find for this 109 pickup. Does any one have a lead on a supplier or know someone that has some NOS or good used panels? Located in Canada...

    Bought it

    Went to see the landy today with a couple of mates who were going equal share with me on the landy. You can guess by the title of the thread what happened. :) It's got lots of little jobs it needs doing, but it's roadworthy (drove Devon to Hampshire with no problems). The DVLA web site was...

    Expired I need to find a 109 rear tub long strut

    Hello all, First post on this forum and not sure if it was happy with jpegs or pngs so please forgive the seemingly duplicate posting. By the looks of it, all the other struts can be wire-brushed and painted back to life. This one strut however has been eaten away to almost nothing in places...

    Series III - Rules concerning Seatbelts

    I've recently brought two Land Rover Series III 109 Santana Especials from Spain to France (a 1980 and a 1982). As I'm pretty sure the rules applying in the UK and France are now the same (ie. based on EU rules), does anyone know what the obligations are for these vehicles - or at least their...

    This series 2 station wagon has been on sale for ever?

    This thing must have been on ebay for the best part of a year by now. I've seen it there for so long. It looks great and all but maybe not good enough to justify the price. I thought these tidy old vehicles were snapped up by enthusiasts on the Continent or imported into US or Canada. Maybe...

    Military history

    Got part of Otley's (my Series 3 109 SW) Military History today, including the military registration number. Looks like it may have spent most of its army life with 71 Signal Regiment. It spent just over 21 years with the army, which seems like quite a long time to me. The letter from the MoD...

    Hi there, I have an Ex-Army 1982 Series 3 109. We found some mud the other weekend and I realized that the Diff-Lock light was not lighting up. After working through light bulbs, vacuum tubes I found that the wire that connects to the console light has come off. I can't work out were this...

    Backplates for 109 V8 Front Brakes

    I have a V8 in my SIII 88 and the braking is scary, even though all the cylinders, hoses and shoes have been replaced recently. Therefore I'm thinking of replacing the front brakes with all new 109 V8/6cyl kit. I've found all the parts I will need online, apart from the brake backplates...
