So are you fitting a viscous on the back?
No, going with triple electric fans and twin rads in order to make up for the lost air flow at slow speeds, should be over cooled but I've done my measurements and the rads will slot in at the back under the tub floor

Series front end isn't lost. Engine moves forwards but not enough to affect the looks or mounting of the slam panel
Radiator needs to be moved to allow for my R380 to get a decent sized rear prop. 280mm space ATM and by the time I'm done I will get 390mm when fully shut which isn't too far off standard compared to where it would be otherwise

Ok, I bought the car 2 years ago, a mate bought his landy from the same place, he had a problem with his car with patching on the chassis using roofing felt, his was 5 months ago now, today I have discovered the same on mine after fitting new brakes and swapping over the radius arm bushes. Can I still get compensation from the guy in any from or is it too late?? See photos for shiny brakes and shoddy patch work

You want compensation for what ?
Not checking the chassis properly yourself and you're two years down the line ?

After 2 years, you have virtually no hope whatsoever of claiming anything at all back from the guy you bought it from. I hate to sound harsh, but let this be a lesson to you about checking a vehicle thoroughly.

compensation to repair the chassis, i had the car thorougly checked out by a landrover mechanic with 30 years experience, and he ha MOT'd it for the past 2 years, even he did not find the patch, it just looked like a well wax oiled chassis. so to those saying i didnt check the car properly i did, after buying a crock the first time i had learnt my mistakes, having it checked out by a professional is as good a check as you'll get. cheers for the help though, will give the guy a phone call tomorrow.

i can prove it due to the fact that he purchased the car from suffolk and my mates car from Aberdeen, he then did 'some' work to both of the cars one a year later than the other, both came from different ends of the country, went through the same middle man and then came out with the same shoddy style of work!

after it was checked by the proffesional it has always been MOT'd at my local garage as is only 1 minute away, it failed its first mot on warped discs on the rear and worn shock bushes and that was it no chassis mension what so ever
