Good to see both lads featured on the channel! Have a 2A ute/wagon I’m restoring currently & it’s not a quick process. & it definitely won’t be as original as this nice one. They’re all nice & simple thank god, can’t wait to see it on the road again!

I have a fully restored SIII 1978 army general service troop carrier, which sounds so sweet with the six pot. Keep going, it's worth all the bloody knuckles 💪

Great video Damon. I really loved the music choice. I’ve always had a soft spot for a 2A station wagon. Cheers Dave

Enjoyed that well produced film, thank you. Looks like the makings of a really great vehicle- I can only dream of finding one so solid in the UK, they are all just absolutely hanging.. a Dormobile converted 2.6 StaWag is my dream Rover...

Great video, and good luck with the restoration. If you have a go at welding the manifold lots and lots and lots of preheating, then preheat a 44 of sand, then preheat the sand to fill the 44, use cast iron arc rods, weld then put in 44 and fill with sand come back in 2/3 days. Or if you have a oven that's big enough use that.

Great looking vehicle, just a hint you mentioned burnt valves and cracking manifold. There is a brass tube that is installed in the water jacket on the exhaust side of the motor. This is behind the water pump and consists of two pieces. One is installed from the rear of the block, you will see a small plate bolted to the rear of the block. Remove the plate and gently prise the brass tube out. As mentioned before the other is behind the water pump, remove the pump and you can then remove the tube. Once removed you can see where the tubes have holes in the top section which are directly aligned with the exhaust valve pockets of the engine block. These holes are usually blocked due to corrosion, in the past we never used inhibitor in the water systems of our cars. This resulted in the engines having corrosion build up and in the case of the Land Rover 6 meant the exhaust valve seat area wasn’t cooled properly resulting in burnt valves and higher exhaust temperatures in the exhaust manifold possibly causing the cracking. I hope this helps you with the car they are a joy to drive I have a Series 2A 109 tray back and my daughters have a Series3 Stage 1 and aSeries 1 86 “ . Keep the videos coming great to watch.

Great video mate, keep the content coming. Looking forward to progress and future episodes

Have you thought of fitting electronic spark control it will make maintenance easer

That is a veth tidy looking Series 2, my only concern when you were looking through the vehicle was that a snake was going to pop up and say hello, good luck with the restoration of my dream vehicle, bedt regards for the upcoming Christmas season and have a safe and Happy New Year from a Kiwi living in Melbourne

Keen to see more.

Привіт з України !

I have one here in the UK on a Galv chassis with the 5mb engine there's not many about here these day's

2.6? As no explanation was provided, I had to search on my own. 6 cylinder 2.6 Liter petrol engine 90 hp, available as an option for long wheel base only from 1967 to 1971. The 4 speed gearbox is the same as the 4 cylinder.
