As no reasonable offers I have decided to hold on for a bit and tidy the Landy up with a few new bits and bobs and make her presentable for sale......

Selling my 90, I know I've said this before but this time I must do it. Due to poor health and old age I cant see me looking after her as I should from now on, she needs some tlc at the moment and a good home (no offroaders)
She passed mot recently, I just called in as I was passing, no preparation at all and she flew through.
I thought the best thing was to let someone on here have the 90 knowing that it's a cracking landy, wouldn't want some one to buy it, spend a bit of time on it then sell for huge profit, I want someone to enjoy the work I've done over the years and benefit from it.
So if you're looking for an old 90 then message me for full details
It's the one in my profile 1990 Land Rover 90 with 200tdi, R380, galv chassis and thousands spent on it in new parts over last few years.
Going to give it a few weeks and see what offers I get for the old girl then she can go to the highest bidder as long as they are suitable to have her lol

I'll put some pictures of chassis and engine on later but here's some more information

1990 Land Rover. 90

MOT till 9th Feb 2019 Galvanised chassis 200 TDi R380 box , all good tyres with new Good Year spare

Never been off road as far as I know, definitely not since full restoration.



It started life as a support vehicle down the west country somewhere and wasn't registered until 1997, it was painted dayglow red and yellow so maybe on an airfield or something. Seen in a film on TV with two lady detectives, dont know what it was called and can't find any information

Bought by me in March 2013 generally poor condition, speedo not working fitted temporary one from an old 110, serviced engine etc chassis rusty, running gear well worn out, but used it for a year. Decided that the rear end of chassis was too far gone to weld so decided to buy new one and refurbish the whole vehicle.

Taken off the road March 2014 took year to refurbish as I'm disabled and finances are limited. Had to do the work as and when I had saved for the parts, didn't want to skimp on anything. I used the best of everything when rebuilding but got transfer boxes mixed up and used the worn one from old engine but it does the job and I've driven to Birmingham, Yorkshire and Wales without any problems.

Taken off the road in Feb 2014 for repairs.

Chassis was too rusty so Purchased new galvanised heavy duty chassis from Richards

Fitted refurbished bulkhead

Fitted 200tdi engine with R380 gearbox from Discovery

Fitted new rear crank seal and heavy duty clutch with hd fork

Fitted new aluminium radiator and hoses (inc turbo hoses)

Fitted new pedal rubbers

Fitted new 'A' frame ball joint and polybushes

Fitted Discovery 1 springs all round

Fitted new shock absorbers all round

Fitted new master cylinder and all new brake pipes / braided hoses

Fitted new clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder

Fitted recon 110 front axle with bigger brake callipers (1992 station waggon)

Replacement axle has recon front diff.

Fitted Discovery rear axle with all new disc brakes callipers and oil seals.

Body reinstated with good doors and all new lights/indicators etc etc

Fitted Discovery hand brake lever

New heavy duty battery (100 amp hour)

Fitted new cam belt and pulleys (plus front crank seal)

Fitted new Land Rover front seats

Fitted Triumph Dolomite speedo

Fitted new door hinges

Fitted new door seal rubbers

Plus many more new parts I cant remember (throttle cable etc)

Passed mot with no problems since then, just wheel it in and it passes.



Recent work done

2017 Fitted reconditioned cylinder head, didn't need one I just wanted years of trouble free. (to see me out)

2017 Fitted new rear prop shaft

Fitted new water pump (rough bearing)

Fitted new thermostat

Fitted new lift pump (Delphi)

Serviced once a year (every 4000 miles)

Not so good

Interior not as good as it should be (loose fuse cover etc) needs tlc

Dashboard untidy, rough

Tunnel needs tidying up.

Needs heater cables (may fix that)

Transfer box done a lot of miles but still good (low mileage one supplied)

Paint not showroom condition

Some corrosion on bottom of rear door

Snorkel not connected up

Resident spider somewhere

'X' lock pedal lock (fold down one cost 170 quid)

Galvanised roof rack and ladder with spotlamps

Swing away spare wheel carrier

Front A bar with lamps

Genuine Wolf Wheels including spare

Side exit exhaust ( single box system )

Removable tow bar with electrics

Air horns

Inclinometer on dash

Push button start with cut off switch

Boost gauge and 12v socket for sat nav etc



Spares

Some parts to convert gearbox to defender type and move stick to right place.

New fuel tank (left hand)

Steering guard

Nearside and offside doors (complete with key)

Four Rostyle wheels with off road tyres

Spare gearbox (good)

Spare transfer box (good)

Windscreen rubber (new)

Spare off side wing

Spare front bumper



If you are looking for a landy that has everything done then this is not for you, it's a workhorse and has been treated as such, it needs tidying but the base vehicle is very good, galvanised chassis, 200tdi, good strong gearbox, new steering box, great brakes and pulls like a train, needs a good home. Going to best offer by end of April !!
