100 series Could you you get in touch please Tommy

Still no South African trailers in the UK commercially that I am aware of Saw this lot at the Overland Show over the summer, nicely built trailer: http://freedomtrailers.co.uk/

Like the Conquerors and Desert Wolfs, lovely bits of kit but Very expensive. saw this at thea Adventure Overalnd show, www.freedomtrailers.co.uk

What model was it? let me know if still looking, as I can probably get you a good deal chris

Owner mentions drums, think you can convert, but requires a fair bit of work and expense, new hubs or axles?- maybe check with someone like Julian Voelcker at Overland Cruisers.

Nice looking truck, shame it's got no Air! Good luck with the sale.

Muggy, it's prob the Stihl Kombi system or a copy of

Have a look at the 79's on newlandcruiser.net

79 dc

I have had issues with Makita quality, my 18v cordless drill had a bent/crooked shaft from new! i then bought an expensive drill & impact driver set and the impact driver was rubbish! Ended up getting a refund and buying an Hitachi set, which has been superb and has 3x 5a/h betteries,

Messaging you

That is simply one of the best 60's I have seen, and in the best colour for an overland build. Liking the other touches, like black bonnet, etc AWESOME!!!

Dunk1 - was this car first owned by Sytner BMW in the City of London? it looks very familiar

Salesman from BMW Southend killed another driver whilst trying to show off at excessive speeds to a prospective buyer!

Do you still have the plastic crates?

I am in the hunt for a 100 series - just started, and it is a bit tedious constantly searching the web and finding that all ( or should I say, nearly all), the decent ones are either gone, or not as described. I have driven lots of 80's and have decided that for what I want, they are a bit heavy...

I remember sometime back, someone on here was offering tickets/passes for Land Rover Experience, I'd like to get on for a friend of mine, think it'll really give him the kick start to get involved in 4x4 and maybe come on a trip to Pyrenees and may be North Africa/Sahara Any info please leave...

Build Can someone tell me the legalities of fitting a Bull Bar? Thought they were banned from cars after a certain reg year? Nice car Warren - maybe try Gunmetal on the alloys? Thanks Chris

Great truck, if you are after a decent 80, do not hesitate. Good luck with the sale Jeremy

Truck looks really tidy, except the wheels! What makes me question his authenticity is his lack of defence!

Well did you have a bid/did you win? Made £13500!

How is the trailer laid out internally - what fits where, where is the fridge? Similar to the one in the gallery on Afrispoor websie? How is it laid out for accomodation - RTT - berths?, awning - space, berths etc, etc, etc Hope thet makes some sort of sense Thanks Chris

God thats UGLY!

Pentagon Supaglass Julian, that would be Pentagon Supaglass, great product, here are the details: SupaGlass is an invisible super-strong 300 micron thick polyester based laminate, professionally bonded to the inside of the main side windows of your car. It is incredibly tough, optically...

Nathan, I worked for BMW & Audi for a while, whilst at Audi an A6 Avant 3.0TDi was my weapon of choice - great looking car, good drive but beaten hands down by the equiv 5 series or E class for handling! A6 in 3.0TDi is a great drive, the 2.7tdi id good, but I think the 2.5Tdi's are...

Gotta agree with Gav!

John, sorry to go off topic, but whats happened to Greg/Land Cruisers Overland? Ta Chris

What are the rules/regs regarding or restricting the fitment of Bullbars or the like? Thought there was a cut-off at about the 2001 year for things being allowed or not??

That thing is Truly ugly - the designer should get fired. However, I don't suppose Britain had much input as we don't actually own any car manufacturers anymore!

John Looking down the barrel of that rather large impending bill has you hallucinating! Take a break and check your glasses. Happy to hear that you are getting it all sorted - let us know if it all ends happily please.

Couple did it a short time ago - www.jollyfollies.com I know Ollie, he a friendly sort and I am sure would be happy to help witth advice etc Chris

How come the Chinese are building so many roads in Africa etc - perhaps they should concentrate on the Motherland!

Few years back when I work for BMW a mate of mine was one of the R&D techs, used to take my company 330d or 530d, just loved them diesels, and after 20 mins tinkering with it plugged in to computer, the car became stupid quick for a diesel engined car! Chris

Like alot of the m,odern jackets, the Barbour is predominantly a waterprrof coat, if you want to keep you warm in colder temps then you need to get a winter liner - they either button or zip in. Agree that nowadays a goretex Noth Face or similiar will generally out perform the Barbour, but the...

Just gotta say well done - can't believe you actually bought it in that state though. Fair play though, you've got a crackin looking truck :thumbup: ;) :clap: :dance:

Not wanting to stir it here, but heard sometime back of a truck that was buily and/or prepped by a certain coastal 4x4, rolled then had a new roof grafted on or roof repaired????? Seem to remember there were several comments about it on the web as it was advertised for sale - poss on ebay, but...

Hi Jon they are fairly few and far between, and then theres the difficulty of finding a decent one - one that hasn't rusted away, and is recoverable! Had the number for one that was for sale a while back, will try and dig out the number. Alternative is to look at imprting one from Japan or...

Nav - that is so very unfair, how dare you!!! - absolutely awesome photo, where/what is it? Gav - great photo.

Bonjour Patrick welcome aboard, where abouts in the Toulouse area are you? My parents live about an hour from there, in the Gers, love it down there. Chris

Try a breakers yard they might have an 80 they are breaking I have had good experience with equicar Chris

Come on Gav, whats happening?!? :?:

Thanks for the reply. I have a contact who manufactures biodiesel commercially. Sells it in 100/200 litre drums, and just wondering if its useable in a 100 series diesel without too many mods. cheers Chris

Options: 1. as per the previous post, they are few and far between 2. Look at the German/Dutch/Belgium/French/forums - def more available out there, but pricey and LHD! 3. Buy an import/import one from Japan/Aus 4. Speak to Paul at Footloose 4x4 Good luck with your search Chris

Kevin great pics and write up - that picture of the LC parked in the shade of the Acacia is absolutely awesome! Really does it for me! After returning to the UK from our London to Cape Town trip - dragged it out to 2.5 years, I started up my own tree surgery business - Acacia Tree Care, has a...

Agree most areas where you travel metal roads, no problems getting tyres repaired, but Northern Namibia I def take a second and Turkana is an eater of tyres! Its very rocky and the rock is very sharp - flinty! It happened to us on several occasions and avoids the need to go looking for...

Jim who was having troubles with his cruiser sent me the following message today: "Luckily the LC is all sorted now. I found an ace mechanic in Luxor, called Ayyad (pronounced Eye-Ad) who is a whizz with Toyota. He works on all the HiAce mini buses in this city, and has a great reputation. My...

Not sure I agree with all thats been said, so but not all! I would certainly take either a seconf spare or a spare and a second tyre - gives peace of mind if you suffered a puncture and it is still awaiting repair. Several placeas come to mind: Turkana, Kenya & Northern Namibia are just two...

Ta Jon - bit of reading there!

Gents thinking about buying a 100 series, prob diesel - but not very knowledgeable re specs etc So can anyone tell me or point me in the direction, of a list of 100 series specs with engine and gearbox codes etcand when changes took place. Thanks Chris
