"Tiny" was purchase Just over 18 Months ago and is a V8 Landrover 101 GS built in 1976 and for the first 12 months of it life with myself it ran perfectly, never over heating never failing to start.Mid june I took "Tiny" the 100 mile round trip to work, where she stuggled, but eventully started for the run home. Points igintion was found to be the problem and points were changed out.
Late july the overdrive unit was fitted.
Then one sunny Saturday in august the "Tiny" was taken for run into Montrose where, she started to run very badly, and on the run home road speed was dropping off until there came a point where she was struggling to main a safe road speed.
Help was not that far away and the man from Green park garage gave my self and "Tiny" a Lift home.
Here were the fun started, again symptoms pointed to the points ingintion so these were changed out to new points but engine would start with little or no power, so an electronic points ignition was sourced and again same once it was set up Tiny would run but with very little power.
Getting dishartened and speaking to a friend I sourced a 300TDi diesel engine and gearbox and will proceed to change to a more reliable and economical power source. This is where the really story begins:
