The new chassis option is good, but an old chassis that's been blasted, repaired and galved is fine.

You have now piqued my curiosity. And I feel compelled to do all but ignore this thread.

I have bought genuine from them before, I have a feeling that in general most aftermarket versions will probably be the same one regardless of price. All the same they might be just fine.

That S1 v8 made it look easy.

You may find the new reverse lights draw to much power from the rev light circuit and the bcm might shut them down, if that is the case you will need some relays, fitting lower power bulbs in place of the rev light bulbs currently fitted might...

Should be a large locking washer similar to a wheel bearing lock washer. That nut doesn't look far enough on in the photo. Welcome to the forum.

I would guess he is not english and means reverse lights?

What, it’s gone past 15 degrees?

Tis scorching errr. Broke one cutter blade on the machine hardox welding wire required tis my job this after. :)

Cant see me im hiding.

First of all, a huge thank you to everyone for your help. I'm extremely touched !☺️ As for my place of residence... I juggle between Versailles ( 78 ) and Verneuil-sur-Avre ( 27 ). So I slipped under my D2 and there's indeed a little play in...

How far on should a steering box drop arm go, there are still splines visible above the arm and the nut is flush to the bottom of the threaded area, I tried to pull it off again and it’s pretty damn on there. but it looks wrong and I don’t trust...

Normally good stuff from these guys .. https://www.johnrichardssurplus.co.uk/land-rover-protection-bar-nrc7009.html https://pablanchard.co.uk/Protection-Bar-Def-NRC7009

A landrover chassis isn't treated inside, so consequently they tend to rust away, from the inside. I can't imagine a 1970 chassis will be anywhere near in good condition unless the previous owner/s regularly treated the chassis with some form of...

I guess you are bot in the UK (?) as it's not legal to have illuminated white lights on the rear of your car, unless it's a switched reversing light... What do you mean by 'back headlights' ?

This is where the rabbit hole started as the guy I bought it off drove it once then sold it. He bought it off an elderly woman who's husband had died and couldn't face to see the car , so I have no idea what's been done, the interior is like...

My dad told me about a company called tuners garage , they apparently specialise in the P38, can do ECU and gearbox tuning.

What have I missed?

You just had too didn't you, I've got far more important things to ignore without being reminded to ignore this as well 🤣

I had a chassis acid dipped...... Before, after the hard work was done... I had to make sure it went to the right place, apparently Female Strippers Nottingham isnt the right place. Fresh out of the acid dip. Clearly see the good effort it has...

Get the chassis shot blasted. Any structural rust will be exposed. The rest doesn't matter, and the pre dip pickling will take care of it.

Aww crap... I've forgotten what we were ignoring as well

Jeepers Ali, we've all got to ignore it all over again now.

I was going great ignoring this thread, then today I couldn't help myself and here we are again! Sorry guys, my bad! 🙁

Yeah, the market changed sine Covid, before a lot of people wanted to "overland", now, well, camping cars in general are in decline from ehat I hear. Maybe I find someone interested in good condition LT95 for some close to original restauration...

Hi, yes, that's correct: the red/white relay trigger wire stays non live and the corresponding earth is live I've taken the relay out completely and am using a jumper cable with a momentary switch across the output terminals (live cable in...

Hi thanks for all your help to all I really appreciate that ! Always count on good support here , I'm fitting 2 70 inch sidestep lights with repeater indicators they have a white light to wire to back headlight live , a wire for...

I was thinking about getting an aftermarket one but presumed it would be made from tin foil.

Where are you getting it ECU remapped?

That's what I asked you, I guess you could get the chassis acid dipped. If that's viable I would get that done. Depends on your weather conditions if it's worth getting it painted or galvanise it.
