Thanks Alan

Hi Thanks for all the info, the engine in the iia is a 3.3 lts vauxhall velox, runs well. I have plenty of spare for the stage one, including a new galvanised chassis, with full recondition axles, including all the brake units etc, it is just sat there. in addition I have a heap of spares for the hu...

Thanks for the reply, I have three spare stage one from drive shafts, therefore, it is still an option, I will see what the difference is on the drive flange, cheers Dave

Hi does anyone know if the stage one axles will transfer on to a series IIA, I have a two front and rear spare stage one axles, and was think of fitting them to my IIA as I am sick of snapping halfshafts, I know I will have to shortern the rear propshaft but is there anything I might need to do to t...

Hi, I am due to shift and will need to tow my stage one to my new abode. can you safety tow the Landy, or will I have to remover the propshafts to stop the gear box form turning over, I have read somewhere that the oil pump whilst under tow will not be running in the box and can cause damage if towe...

Hi. will the 4.6 go in without too many mods ??

Hi, I can arrange a good trip, make a weekend of it, there are plenty on Landy nuts in the Upper Hutt area, I will as my local club, if they would be willing to run a trip for the stage one, landy nuts. If there is enough intrest I am sure they will. There are plenty of good tracks from easy going t...

Hi my stage one X NZ army is fitted with extended spring hangers, the main chassis mounts are not extended, it gives the Rover a nice ride hight at the rear. I have also fitted parabolic springs, which has been a worth while job. Cheers Dave

Hi Alan, I have considered cropping the back end off, however, that would require the back body to reduced in size and the rear fuel tank to be removed. maybe I am asking too much from the old girl, and should get a SWB landy for the hard yak stuff. Dave

thanks for the feedback, will keep the stage one chassis, and put the v8 in my 2A, cheers dave

Hi, has anyone tried it, I have a 109 stage one rolling chassis , plan to turning it into a 88 inch, are there any pit falls.
Original Stage one V8 88 inch do they use the salsbury rear axle.
I enjoy the 109, however has its limitation off road.

Hi, no diff lockers I look at fitting one to the rear, however the cost was large. Tyres are deestone SAT 7.50 by 16, good mud tyre. I also run 235/85 by 16 bridgestone MT.
Plenty of off road in the Wellington area, should jack a stage one trip up. Cheers Dave

Thanks, for the heads up

Hi all

I will be sending more to the webmaster, x NZ army stage one, still going strong after 27 years and pulling other [not land rover], stuck 4x4s. cheers Dave
