I've grown very attached to her, great little vehicle!
Really most sort the horrific oil leak though, even by Land Rover standards it's bad  |

I take you still have that beautiful Westlake headed six cylinder in there? Ran like a sewing machine and made for a sprightly drive, with a mountain of torque.
The only picture I have to hand is from august 2006 from the line up at the series 2 club national Click image to enlarge |

I have good memories of riding in Diddy when it was a trayback, the exhaust stack behind the truck cab sounded fantastic!
I've got loads of photos of Diddy on the S2 Club Greenlane trips I organised. BORG - Bucks & Oxon 4x4 Response Group |

Yes, still a 6 pot, tows very nicely.
She was a bit of a wreck when I got her, at some point I will sort the paint but it's not been a priority Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge |

I had a 109 with a 3.0 litre six pot with a Harry westlake head, god it was rapid for a series, but the fuel consumption was brutal, 100 miles per tank was the going rate!

I thought I recognised the number plate this was one of the Rumsey brothers (Mark I believe) Land Rover,I remember buying a engine with a Turner head off of them a few years,really nice guys and extremely knowledgeable about Land Rovers and had a wonderful selection which they were very happy to show Tash and myself around and diddy was one of them,(very sad when I heard the news)pleased to see diddy is still going strong 👍 Paul Tash n Barney

I think (maybe wrong!) I bought the winch on her from you several years ago?

I've got a 109" station wagon with a 3.0 Weslake in it as well, need to get that back out one day - lovely sounding engine |
