Owning a series LR
Cal:
At the moment I'm thinking of a post 1980 88inch and though I'm not totally sure what's easily possible or not yet, probably thinking of 235/85 MTs on steel rims (possibly modulars if they fit for more offset)
and then way in the future an engine swap - probably a 2.5TD as I understand that is fairly straight forward.
How are you getting on with the 200Tdi and standard series gearbox Ian? Did the engine go in OK?
Sorry if I'm asking stuff that's already on the forum - have been trying to work my way through all the posts, but will get sacked if I'm on the net all day! :)

Long wheelbase rims are a bit wider than 88" rims. I have steel LWB rims with military Michelin XCL 7.50x16 which is the old equivilent of 235/85 R16 they are fantastic off road and not bad on road too, and are still available new from ex MOD surplus for £75 +vat but they wear for ever so replacement is a long way off. I prefer the look of painted steel wheels on a Series, gives it the right classic look. Have heard that the Montego TDi is an easy swap, and there are plenty of adaptor kits around.

But remember a lot of the parts for the Series 3 will fit the mid-late 2A without a problem. Infact, the late 2A like mine use a lot of Series 3 parts as it was approaching the change over period when mine was built. :wink:

All I can say is that when I got my first series LR, my face ached while I was driving it, I couldn't stop smiling.
:D :D :D :D :D :D
