yes mate i got a 300tdi hard top 110 on Sunday. done 220k with a stack of paper work/history with it. drove it back from glastonbury sunday night drove like a dream. no glow plug light at the min so will be checking that out. back seal on the transfer box is dripping and will get the timing belt done for peace of mind.

here he is!

Looks pretty nice that bud, tracker on order I hope. You've just bought one and I've just sold one

Are you doing the timing belt yer sen? If so and you need any tools or owt I'm the other side of Ashby

A Plan insurance took our membership of this forum as "club membership" for the same purposes....

Looks a nice bus too

I just redid my insurance today with Academy. Its a third of the price I pay with Flux.

The initial quote was twice wot I was paying with Flux as I included carrying stuff for work. I was then advised to ask Academy for agricultural and then commercial (I have a commercial V5) - ended up with a 4x4 specialist. I was never asked about mods (I used to insure with Direct Line but when I had the xtra seats put in they classed that as a mod and refused to insure me). I mentioned the extra seats - they said it was fine.

Just a standard jobber I think it was off ebay with a flywheel locking tool and fuel pump locking pin. I've also got a viscous fan spanner (the undo with opposite thead), four foot breaker bar and a Clarke electric impact gun in case the pulley bolt doesn't want to come undone. There's a really good land rover tool box video on YouTube, I'll see if I can find it....

200tdi but the same principle

If you buy a kit it'll come with a new belt, new type crank gear, new tensioners and a timing case gasket

Ive been asked by Lancaster insurance about clubs as well. Why do they discount for club membership?

I've got a series 2a that's waiting to be restored, I've just sold my 90 that I've had for 4 years and I've just bought a discovery that initially I bought to strip for parts as I wanted its transfer box in my 90 but it was that nice I've decided to keep it

This is currently the 2a which hopefully today I can strip so I can get the chassis shot blasted and galvanised along with the bulkhead and radiator panel


Just sold this

And this is now my daily driver

I tend to use Craddocks more than Paddocks purely because they seem quicker to get to from home and I work in Lichfield if I need to get there on a work night. Although if I'm in no rush I'll also use eBay
