I’ve seen pictures of that one, salisburys front and rear? Is it still in the UK? Very rare to find a 1 ton these days.

@Black_smoke_garage that's the one Salisbury front and rear Even on a 1 ton that was rare I sold it at beaulie 7 year's ago £18,500 Couple years later next owner sold at Bonham's Goodwood revival auction Since then it's stayed with whoever bought it Id known of it since I was 13, I'm 53 now

I always loved the 1 tons, in Derbyshire the Kennings group had them as their breakdown fleet. I copied the look with my 1958 series II LWB truck cab by rebuilding it on an ex army chassis, using later IIA axles (not Salisbury) with a set of FC 9.00s and fitted a late Rover 3 litre Weslake engine (using a 2.6 engine backplate and a modified 2.6 flywheel ) mated to a hybrid series II / IIA Gearbox (to give a combination of the biggest bearings and strongest (std) shafts. Topped off with an overdrive and fitting a one piece laminated windscreen with a 3 wiper set up. I loved the result and it was much more powerful and surprisingly more economical than the Series III 6 pot I had in it before that. Oh what it was to be young and enthusiastic? Great to see your motors

@@markbowler8091 that 1 ton in video could be an ex kennings couldn't see if it had the panel above cab for garage name I'm looking at a set of 900s on FC rim's now There off my 1/1/1960 SWB I've owned for 34 years (it's in bits at Mo) click on my video's you're see it

@@markbowler8091 sounds like a canny project, some people have mixed opinions on the 900s when fitting to a 3/4 ton, not many 3 litre 6 pots about either, great sounding engines

@@BrookeWatney Thanks, yeah it can be annoying when your trying to diagnose stuff on them, certainly will 👍

@@julienchahine7601 sounds like the synchro in your R380 box has started to fail, I’ve driven a few TD5s and I can say they are much different to drive than a 300tdi defender

@@aaronchadbon6140 it’s a demand engineering exhaust and no it’s not as loud as some make it out to be 👍

Remove the back muffler and run straight through. Gives a nice tone. They may be thirsty but starts every time..

Perhaps you need to check the rest of your cooling system isn’t clogged, or that the seals on the matrix aren’t knackerd.

Haha thanks lee, she’ll be back soon 👍
