interesting lifting & do you

there are plenty of series landies with rear door mounted spares that aint got buggered doors/hinges. If you fit an extra hinge in the centre and an extra striker plate thingy (there are special ones for rear door mounted wheels) on the inside then it should be fine. Theres a '74 series 3 in my mates drive. One of the least buggered bits is the rear door! (with wheel and mount)

The hinges wear out anyway eventually but the replacement balls and pins cost less than a quid when i last bought any!

The old Series IIA prop was fine - are the later ones different? I'm not tall but visibility was not an issue. As for collecting water, we're getting a bit soft round here aren't we?

Too right, who needs a spare wheel! If you get a flat, just tear an arterial vein out of your arm, put one end on the tyre valve, the other end in your mouth and blow!

What is the world coming to, spare tyres eh, it'll be seatbelts next!

I will have to put my spare on the bonnet otherwise have to continue to use a cushion to rest the windscreen on!

Brilliant, I'd love to have an old beast like that.. Driving along with flies in my teeth. Do you wear flying goggles while driving it or does it not go fast enough to make slipstream a problem?

BTW we'll have to go off-roading again, I've got a mapping programme running on an old laptop now and have marked up a whole mass of lanes to try in the area. Give me a prod if you're free on a weekend.
