Hello. Got me a new(old) landy.

Hello everyone. Just bought a 90 def 200tdi last Tuesday. Good condition, cracking motor, 265's on 16" steelies, steering guard, bull bar, all for 2K. And someones hung a free cheese grater on the left wing!

200 miles back home, hit 80 and the rattle from the spare wheel/door gave me a headache for two days solid. Had to fix the horn, which led to fixing the indicators which meant a trip to the scrappy for another switch. Still chuffed to bits.

The scrap yard's just a couple of miles away and has about a dozen landies from series up to a V8 110 7 seater. Does landyzone have a list of scrap yards with decent stuff? I know it's not much use having a scrappy in Scotland if you live in Cornwall, but a lot of 'em'll ship things. Just a thought.

Finally, I'd just like to say I browsed this forum a lot while I was looking for my 'drover. There was a lot of good info to guide me in the right direction. Also, the swearing and general abuse dished out makes the forum a nice change from the other over-policed sites.

Near Workington, on the coast. "All Vehicle Salvage" nr Branthwaite. From memory there are six in the front, two series 3's; a pickup and a swb, two 90/defs; pickup and van and two 110's; a county and a van. In the back there's a bunch of series landies (various bodies, bonnet wheel mounts etc) another 110 estate, a 110 pickup (in fetching yellow & black tiger stripes) and... and that's where my brain stops working. It's late!

The guy knows his 'drovers too. Runs a 90 pickup and I've seen a series 3 recovery vehicle. Numbers 01900 66196.

Might be good to have a scrappy network, just to track down odd bits and pieces.

Hope this helps. Off to bed now.
