I’m sure some sellers have unrealistic expectations of what things are worth.

I have put up on here a pic of the Series one with a crane on the back that has been parked outside a garage in Middleham ,Yorkshire Dales for as long as we have been going there which is since 1991 on and off. Still there according to street...

Indeed it would have been, I'll get round to buying one sometime.

Inform the council the trees have overgrown and is impeding horses. They will them cut back and annoy the woman. Alway be polite and smile. You never know when your been filmed (or doing the filming)

Was the disco that the axle from involved in an accident before being stripped? Might explain if there is any damage to mountings meaning it doesn’t sit quite straight, although this would probably be picked up when fitting?

Judging by the other tractors in the hedge, his attitude is not confined to just the Landy.

A dashcam would be helpful to show her behaviour.

Forgot to add... Just waiting on a few bits to arrive. Normally closed pneumatic solenoid, dont trust the alliexpress one to actually last 😅 Will mount it in engine bay on the bulkhead Also got some stainless steel braided sleeve. I can run...

Finished all the welding on the exhaust! Sounds bloody brilliant!! 😄😄😄😄 Also forgot how much exhaust noise is actually taken out by the VNT so its perfectly acceptable to drive around in ASBO mode 😂 normally. From the drivers perspective 😅 On...

Hi and welcome! I went to fit a cubby box to my 200Tdi 90 in January only to find issues with removing the centre seat. Nothing is ever straightforward on a Landy! Have you tried removing the carpet and sound proofing to follow the plug and...

Getting a bit tight down the sides

Inlet and intercooler pipe painted. Hopefully will fit at the weekend.

Drove to Greys Court, Rotherfield Greys, for a Landy picnic and a real good tour of the house and the splendid gardens and grounds...and even under near constant drizzle, Greys Court is a fascinating place. It was our very first visit despite...

Replaced a wiper,had already purchased a spare. Got some more engine oil for spare Drove it & had plenty of enjoyment. . Was given full wheel bearing kit,5lts gearbox oil

So meet up with another friend off the ferry And overnight down near Poole. The D4 decided not to continue so it was just me and the Hilux. So as the next stop for us both were near my home and flags again down we decided a trip round again. No...

2 separate trips out onto Salisbury plain. Met up at tidworth on the tank crossing & as the red flags were down & gates open meant I could use permissive (red flag) routes. Avoided the chalk mud pits. The D4 end box fell off and he lost the door...

Tell me about it! You could pick up a decent series wing for a tenner in the mid 90’s!

I wish they still were as cheap, still looking forward to it.

If you don’t need the 4” lift, I’d revert back to standard. It will handle much better and new shocks and springs in standard will transform the ride. Otherwise, old man emu are very good, but very expensive. 235/70 16 tyres will also look lost...

Old man emu 👍🏻😉

I went some years ago and it wasn’t busy at all. In fact, I was surprised how small the event was then. It coincided with an attempt at a new record for the most landies in one gathering which likely didn’t help numbers.

Well i fitted it today, the pipe goes into the convoluted pipe marked in yellow with the reducer between. pipes were a faff to get off as caked mud had turned to concrete, but once of and washed they softened to make it easier. needed a bit of...

Fitted an Offtrek snorkel/raised air intake. faff of a job which you need mr.tickle arms for, luckily i'm skinny lol. see pics @ https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/fitting-a-snorkel.392344/

Video from the trip if its of interest. Usual poor editing, bit long, bit boring, good memory for us though.

Hi and welcome!

Hi and welcome!

Hi and welcome! Very nice Landy too! 😎

Day off? I guess well I was still a work... Started on the valved exhaust! Not the easiest thing to make ALOT of rolling under and checking, even though I was using the original midbox as a template. I know 90° bends arnt exactly ideal...

Nice! I used to go trialling in my teens when I first got into landies. Series motors were cheap and easily available then, as were parts if you broke something. I’d like to get back into it again.

Now that I have “completed” my Defender 90 rebuild last year, and taken it trialing with the Scottish Land Rover Owners Club, as I intended. I have decided to continue the madness with a new project. Seduced by the sound of a rover V8 and fear...
