Got my 300 through its mot today at last! It failed at the end of October last year with a list as long as my arm so I've been without it as I slowly got through all the bits needing doing. All in all for the ticket I have renewed every brake pipe on the beast, completely replaced the boot floor incl all struts and new supports etc, patches here,there and everywhere, new extended brake hoses, new rear brake calipers, new rear brake pads and disks, cleaned and painted the chassis, cleaned out sedimentor, painted my axle nice and red lol, fitted a powder coated chequer plate rear door card (which looks awesome IMO), hopefully fixed my leaking gutters, and last but not least fitted some US spec cupholders!!! Word of caution, if anyone takes out there boot floor, DO NOT cut through the tie rods linking your chassis to the seat belt mounts as they are extremely hard to get hold of second hand due to being rotten or seized and land rover will charge you £48 just for two eyebolts!!!!! Anyway, after saving loads of money by doing the work myself I am feeling rather accomplished and just wanted to share my joy. I am now going to treat the old girl to a set of diff guards and set about undoing all my hard work at some offroading days. Thank you to everyone who has given me advice in the past few months
