And stage ones? Which were made up until 1985. Tis a very rare old beast if it is a stage one Though


Ere Robint you keep that thing under lock & key until I get back.:blabla: Don't be letting any vultures pick it to pieces until I've had a proper look at it.

dont rush back i will go and keep it safe for him

kin ell i fink ide better go get them wheels of quick

Finished me suspension this mornin' after realisin' that the steerin' guard had tae come off tae let the axle drop a bit more:doh: Waxoyled some of the chassis then took it fur a test drive... then another... then another...... much better

if its an early 110 V8 and you break it can I have dibs on the front axle and interior parts price depending? Lol I think you should do it up tho if you can

Picked up a used roof tent for a decent price, figured out how to latch it on until I could get it home and do the job right... a couple extra holes needed in the roof rack.

Went to a nearby parking lot and jacked the 110 for the first time to check which bearing needs work, front left one it seems. Realized that working with a bottle jack is going to be a pain and am wondering how to make it easier... trolley jack not an option I think as the plan is to head to Africa for a while.

Spent time reading my Haynes manual about upcoming repairs (steering dampener, front bearing, all brake pads) and ordered all the needed bits and pieces... still new to this so I hope I didn't forget any important bits. Still need to pick up a dremel tool and one of those funky hub nut sockets.

Decided to buy a 600w pure since wave inverter from ebay (Germany) since I couldn't find any places to buy one here in Belgium (I must be looking in the wrong places).

I have a lot to do in the next month before I need to take a trip up to York (from Belgium) and still nowhere to really do it! Gah! I hate not having a driveway.

just got given this !!!
need to have a good poke round to see if its worth restoring or scrapping !!

Scrap it? You are having a joke! Restore it and sell it to some Yank with more money than sence! They can only import Landy's over 25 Years old over there.

been out this morning washed it so its blue now not green !
had a good poke round apart from rear cross member totally nackered , all i found was the front nearside/offside chassis hangers need replaceing , had a look at the engine blew leaves out , brand new distributor cap ,leads plugs, coil air filter, oil filter , found a brand new 2 tonne trolly jack in back still in box , all sorts of tools , and the origional lifting jack in its leather sleeve ........just cant afford the petrol now to start it :doh:

Yesterday I washed her whilst she graciously shed her water & washed my two lil' son's:doh:, today I bought what I need to do an engine service at the weekend and got given a set of free screwdriver's which my boy's promptly decided to put in their tool box

Gave it a clean

Left mine on the drive and went and caught a bus.......



....still waiting for my new lift pump to arrive

Kicked it.... bad landy

Tidied out all the clutter that had built up. Tightened a seeping feed hose to the oil cooler.

got the bonnet open at last to reveal this .....
