New project - 109 2A 1968
By: drumlisden Date: May 26, 2012, 7:09 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Visited the local scrappy for some bits for the 88" and came
away with a wee bit more than intended.

Perkins lump (I think going by the badge on the grill :eek:)
Hopefully someone on here can advise. It says 2.6 petrol on the
log.

Is this an overdrive?

The engine started quite easily with a charged battery but it
conked out after 10 minutes and won't start again. I put more
fuel in because it behaved like it ran out but no joy.
The rear cross member needs some attention and no doubt more
will be revealed when I take the tub off. The footwells and
bulkhead are solid.

What a save looks like a nice doer upper, and yes that is an
overdrive, that what the lever with black knob is for.

Why the hell can't I ever find something like that in our
scrappys, just euro box Shiite.
Looks a total quality find, very jealous.
Good luck on the repairs needed.
Cheers
Simon.

Cheers all. It was in the scrapyard but he wasn't scrapping it.
He knows bugger all about land rovers but has an inflated view
of their worth unfortunately so after much haggling I had to pay
over the top for this old beast - don't ask :eek: A few bob more
than I wanted to pay but that'll be forgotten in a couple of
years and it looked too good to leave with him.
He's the type that tries to make series look like 90s/110s and
had a couple of series 3s with series2 log books :banghead
As for the engine I think I'll try and get this perkins job
going again - it went fine for 10 minutes so hopefully nothing
too much. Any advice greatly received including identifying it.
The brakes are non existant too. The paint will get no more than
a wash. Let the fun begin... :thumbs:

Engine looks like a 4-203 perkins they are 3.3litre if i
remember there are as slow as fuck in a landy but will pull
anything !!!! They were fitted in many different things like
forklifts andcommer walk through vans an massey fergusson
tractors. Used to have one in my 109 but have now replaced it
with a 300 tdi. It has just left for sunny france to be fitted
in a 2b forward control :thumbs:

4203? Maybe, I could check, but going out to the front garden
and hauling the bonnet up means walking past the fridge full of
cider, so CBA rules the day. Some are able to rev higher than
others. My missus has/had one in a 109 but with an LT77S on the
back of it and coiler diffs. As mentioned, it'll pull trees
out, but its far from being a fast engine. Still, it would sit
at 55/60 all day. Noisy in that way that old big diesels can
be.
If you get stumped, I'll be pulling one out of the said truck
and will want rid. Needs a new mech fuel pump or chucking in a
canal, I generally lean towards the latter.
Bloody good find though. Looks pretty complete and straight.
Unfortunate colour though.
Do those badges make any money as rare ebay scams?
