Hi Tim/Mike,
Next weekend is would work for me to start relaying the wheels(I'm the seller) - alternatively I don't work far from the A1 at Doncaster(junction with M18 if any one is passing that way) on route to Stoke.
Cheers!

Really feeling the camper van vibe at the minute, particularly the car based ones - and huge respect for taking on such a rusty case, you're a braver man than I. However whilst looking for something else amongst the web I found a pic of the Caravanette Kev from Wales mentions at Furbers yard Pictures are dated April 2009

Being looking for an excuse to post this picture for a while.... but getting slightly more on track again(if not value but there are some J-Tin bargains out there sure I'm seen one of these recently for reasonable money.. Or alternatively look at some of the'mid size' vans and convert one yourself - thinking Mazda E2200/Bedford Midi/Hyundai H100 etc, reasonably priced(compared to VW or Hiace) depends whether you want an older base vehicle or more modern and probably cheaper! However for those that dare to dream..... the Toyota RV-2!!!!

Been thinking similar thoughts on one of these very vans myself, is yours the same truck as seen on 'Wild Camping', looks like it? As a base vehicle it looks to tick a good number of boxes for what I wanted to consider for a day van type arrangement to trawl around Europe and North Africa without being 'too big' since I'm happy to travel light.RWD and a simple old school diesel(veg oil!) without being too big so can be a daily back in the UK(60 mile round trip to work). Being J-tin should be hugely rugged and reliable so bang on(even think you get LSD for the Serena in Oz so perfect for broken roads) Possible inspiration... Potatoshop styling cues... or(this one is a Serena I know before anyone comments but for inspiration)... powered by... So anybody got a solid Nissan Vanette going cheap....

Couple of obvious issues spring to mind, first up the already mentioned g/box output shaft and transfer input gears stripping - common problem LR now sell a drilled input gear to address the problem. The other one relates to the clutch arm, where the ball on the actuator rod breaks through the arm - Never actually seen it happen but the aftermarket bods are now selling "H/D" versions - standard item with a second skin welded on the back!.

Definitely think 2010 is going to be the year of the non VW camper van. There seems to be a load of 70/80s conversions about right now.
Look forward to seeing the roof plans executed whatever they may be!

Time to have a reorganisation in the garage(Again!!) and it's thrown up a couple of things that could go, so.... First up set of 5 alloy wheels, 6Jx15 to suit volvo 740/940 series, I have 4x centre caps as well but no nuts to suit. Four tyres(195/65R15), of mixed background(couple of Uniroyals) have plenty of tread, remaining one is shot. Price £60.00ono for the setSecondly pair of front doors for a Volvo V70 Classic(the 850 shaped one essentially). Bought to replace the armoured front doors on an ex-plod vole I owned, but since sold on as was. Both in decent condition(couple of small marks). No interior panel or window motors. Paid £60 each for them. Price £60/Pair or £35/each Buyer to collect from just off J4 M180 near Scunthorpe but willing to discuss delivery of it's anywhere near where I'm passing!Any questions just ask Contact via pm or on here. Many thanks!

It would put me off if I didn't know who'd performed the repairs, however as for buying a Cat C/D unrepaired I'd do it(and have been thinking about one for a daily) and putting the work in myself then it's a different matter.
The chance to pick up a better car than I may otherwise be able to afford(been looking at what's at Copart Santon recently!) would be the major consideration, but I would look to run it into the ground personally rather than have the hassle of moving it on to doubtful buyers.

I love a good stretch limo!!Thread reminded of the Canley Classics Herald based limo... Yep 2500 Triumph straight six .... Couldn't find a better picture but whilst I was looking I did find.... 1953 Triumph Mayflower! And could help but then look for this... or of course the mega rare Mk1 Granada Coupe Limo! and there's always room for a little volvo love!

Like many, 2009 been a strange year, many epic car based targets hit the FAIL bumpers at full speed(about the only thing to speed!) so in order...
1. Get Divorced! - MUST 2. Sell the 528i! - MUST 3. Complete steering conversion on the Mk2 Tina! MUST 4. Get Rotary engine into said Mk.2 Tina! - LIKE 5. Complete welding on Hearse, refit gearbox and interior. - LIKE 6. Respray Volvo 940 - Mint green/Black bonnet - LIKE
There's some more bits to on them all(lowering the Rover and fresh rims....more bodywork/paint), but got to keep the goals realistic on a the huge budget of nowt, unless the beemer goes but that needs bits to make it road ready.
Ultimately stop being a miserable swine and actually get out there and start working on the stuff again really. It'll be ready when it's ready but I do need to actually do the work though!

Cheers Bryn, sadly taunton is a little too far at the mo in the absence of trailer/towing kit(oh how I mourn the loss of the beavertail!) so will have to pass on that I'm afraid.
Many thanks anyway!

Hi,
As per title really, looking for a Volvo 940 Rear axle, but specifically the 1041 H/D variant with the locking differential. understand they were fitted as standard to Wentworth models, but I'm guessing it would be an option on other turbo models.
As such I may consider a complete car with the 2.0 or 2.3 turbo unit and autobox(I have a another destination in mind for that if I can find one).
PM with whatever you've got.
Cheers!

Seem to remember that one way around this is to the find the timing belt case and cover from the LDV400 that featured the 2.5 Land Rover red block lump - sure the pump is a little higher on that engine and thus not fouling the mount.
