What did you do with your Series 2 in October ...

[Eskvalleyboy]

I got the rebuilt transfer box in, o/d on, hand brake on.
Transfer sump plate and drain plugs to go on tomorrow evening, fill up and give a test before fitting the props.

Got the first half of the underglow tubes made up. Still deciding how to attach them, but the wire snake has arrived and I'm starting at the rear anyway.

You must post lots of pictures. I haven't seen many blinged up Land Rovers of our type. Should be a lot of fun!

Last part spot welded in for top of dash and finished. Minus painting so left in weld thru primer for now.

Used it to transport the dogs to the vet for their annual jabs and had a Land Rover discussion with the Land Rover fan Italian vet Jack.

Haven't done much (with the Landy) but I took 5 mins out of the day to sit in the sun on the front bumper - lovely.
My wife said i should make a seat that clips onto the bumper ...

Well... there are various versions of this out there.

Hi Larry S.

I assume you can empty that device by driving forward about half a wheel circumference?

New wiper blades (sprung type) fitted. Both done although only the driver's side was worn but they were fitted at the same time.
Then I sorted out various adapters and blades and made up another pair of blades.

I drove home to Malvern from Leominster in my "new" S2 88 basic soft top ( built July 1960 and registered Jan 1961) having placed the winning bid in Brightwells Classic Auction which finished on Wednesday. Overall very pleased with my acquisition. It has been more or less nut and bolt restored as far as I can see, and far better for me, that the previous owner went to that effort and expense. Seems to run very well, but found the clutch operating very far down on the pedal, as do the brakes. Once attended to, it will drive very well indeed, particularly with the "Roverdrive" overdrive that is fitted. My only other concern is that it does not have the regular sliding windows in the door tops, but has been fitted with Exmoor Trim roll down vinyl/perspex windows, which I will hopefully replace with the proper sliding windows at some stage - are the S2 window tops different to the 2a and 3?
I do plan to use the S2 regularly. It will sit in my Garage with the top off, the offending window top removed, and ready whenever the weather is set fair to head out. It will get particular use when our 2 adult offspring visit with partners, and the 6 of us can head off exploring with an obligatory pub stop. It's a bit smarter than I intended, for with its tow bar it will be called to work with the trailer when I need to move stuff.
I daresay it's sacrilege, but the little round wing mounted mirrors are not the best for all round visibility, and I am thinking of adding an S3 style drivers door mounted mirror - although the stem will not fit the S2 top door hinge which differs from the S3. Any advice re how best to source and fit a suitable mirror would be appreciated. Likewise any advice re the best fuel additive to prevent valve seat wear would also be appreciated.
This is not my first Land Rover.I worked for Land Rover in the '90s and became Managing Director of the UK National sales company toward the end of that decade. That was during the BMW ownership era, and I was drafted in having strong BMW connections having been Marketing Director at BMW GB throughout the '80s.I left when Ford tool over, but retained a strong affinity for the brand if not the company. Whilst at Land Rover I acquired two Series cars, The first a '49 S1, and the second an ex military 1983 S3. Very sadly the S1 was cosmetically excellent, but mechanically in need of further fettling, and I had neither the time or inclination to sort it, and after 5 years or so of aborted trips and break-downs, I foolishly sold it for a fraction of what it would command today. The S3 however did brilliantly barely missing a beat in 20 odd years, and only sold reluctantly last year in preparation for a house downsize and an unknown quantity in terms of future garaging. As it has worked out our new house near Malvern (not far from Eastnor) has a triple garage where the new S2 resides, maybe to be accompanied by a Morgan at a later date.

I believe you can get hinges to take door mirrors from a club member.
