Introduce Yourself / Re: New member -404
« on: May 13, 2019, 07:58:21 pm »
Thanks Moose , if anything I can't work out I'll message you but hopefully if it doesn't jump out of gear, stop because of fuel filters or red hot hubs I'll be ok ...😂 Thanks aswel Dan for the link on the breakdown guys I'm not sure of the mogs weight but if it's up to 3.5t it would be £99 pounds ish . Perhaps you could let me know if it's under 3.5t and maybe worth a try with Adrian Flux as had my BMW R75 with them as they good with classics. Thanks All I'm so looking forward to being an unimog owner and hope to meet up at some point 👍

Thanks alot good advice I've read up on 'hot hubs' and tbh not given her enough of a test run .I thought of return journey from Grantham to Manchester over the A616 or A50/M6 or even more B roads and take more time ? It's a long way for a Unimog and did think of AA or RAC (Green flag?)breakdown on her. (Maybe weight issue?) But it's a good investment 🤔
Where about's are you based Moose ?

Hi everyone I've got my dream vehicle at last an Unimog ! Yaaaaa
It's a 1958 - 404 with reasonable body chassis and tyres. It's got a few niggles but think it's great. The difference with mine is it was cheap for the reason it has had the petrol engine changed for a diesel from a Mercedes G-wagen (yes those expensive G-wagen things 🌝) now fair enough I'm sort of happy but I've not checked for the gearbox ...and if it's a Mercedes G-wagen box or the Moggy one 🙄 soon bit worried as the Mog one is 6 geared for good reasons off road is probably essential in low ratio with difflock on etc. I don't know how many or what ratios G-wagens are
Im not picking her up until Tuesday so sure but it drives ok.
Thanks .... Simon
