I have a new wheel complete available ,bought & never used ! PM if interested

Genuine Part no 330621 from Blanchards...the grey rubber ones

No worries. Yes 276 is a IIa diesel number, although we have very few in the database, so I can't really help with dating.

The Heritage Certificate is produced by Richard (lovely chap, who gives me library access at Gaydon) and uses the same information.

MUC4299 seals?

Removed the horrible black foam vent seals and sticky mastic mess they were stuck with by the PO and fitted rubber ones. A tight fit for the vent closers but do open and close and will hopefully ease over the next few weeks.

Thanks James for looking that up - it's great to have a bit more definitive info for my vehicle. Fingers crossed that soon a Heritage cert or equivalent is available for CKDs ... your time is much appreciated. I've also found a list of sequenced engine numbers which says that those starting with 276......... denote a 2.25L diesel.

Hi Steven,

I was able to take a look. Yours is indeed a CKD Landie, built and sent to Eire on 4 Jan 1963.

21 RHD CKD diesel 88" were sent in total to a company called Motor Packing Ireland. Motor Packing was the name of a shipping company that used to transport Land Rovers to various far flung global destinations, including the Philippines, Costa Rica and South Africa. Another company called Export Packing handled other destinations, including Morocco, Chile, NZ and Rhodesia.

Only 294 RHD CKD diesel 88"s were built and the very last one also went to Ireland, in November 1964.

Cheers

Collected new spark plugs from the garden machinery shop for one of the mowers and the pressure washer. The same NGK (B2- LM) for both with a very short reach so not obtainable from a motor factor.
My dog walk route was blocked by a road closure so I worked my way to the other end and the kind man there let me through to get to the track where I exercised the 4wd system again as well as the dogs

Seems it's likely a bad idea, but thankyou everyone for your input. I'll just hang on to it.

I will give you one e.g. of why it's not a good idea, I worked for Keyline, they also hired out tools as well as selling building matirials, someone hired an electric plain, they didn't empty the bag, and the sawdust combusted and burnt half the school down, that's why they have a whole terms of use and instructions on the end of the tool when you hire them, the lender of the tool tried to take Keyline to court and blame them.
