Devon-Rover:
I can't afford to keep repairing the landy and maintaining her. you wouldn't think that it is a very rare landy.
So i'm going to have to make her into a more everyday motor. and not RTV as it hammers the poor thing.
So it's goodbye RTV's for a bit, Though i might have to pick up a cheap 88 and use that instead. Though i will still be using her to set out bigger events like the Charity RTV and possible the 2010 ALRC national.
dave_2A_2.25Turbo:
Ahhh.....the Searle bit.......
Devon-Rover:
Yup. got it in one.
On the plus side she might get promoted to tow motor, and so tow the other landy to events and i'll use her to sleep in then at bigger events. Just need to sort out a proper engine to shoehorn under the bonnet. :twisted:

One of my mates did a "stage 1" conversion to his 109 SW. He was using it as a camper on rally events etc as well as a tug for his trialer so dropped a 3.5V8 in there. It was not straight forward and you need to think a few things through but definately possible. he went from 10 - 15 MPG to 20 - 25 MPG so was well chuffed.
He's since mothballed it as he bought a Pizagaer (not sure of spelling!!) 6x6 that he uses for everything now.
