You can paint if you like. I like to use Bilthamber products, you need to use a rust converter before you coat it in anything. Also it's not a one off job especially if you go green laning. In an ideal world you need to keep on top of it every...

I always have a nagging doubt that any advice is really in my interest and more likely any extra money just goes in additional fees. The fact the advisor has a new car and a big house goes some way towards confirming my fears!

I have my doubts being mid 50s is even worth adding/starting to any pension. Recently changed job and decided I am not starting another pension at 56. I think existing ones means I will be able to retire early and keep afloat until state pension...

Depends what is on the chassis to what you use. If it's one of them bitumen products you might find a heat gun and scraper/wire brush works well. I have used grinders, wire wheels, all sorts. You can get fibre discs to go on a grinder, the blue...

😂 the lengths we go to. I managed to get a stubby on my defender one. My disco one wouldn’t allow it though!! I just slit it and wack round with a chisel - was much easier! Powerflex are good - bought them for my project and will be installing...

Will work my way through cleaning all earth points I think for now, thankyou very much for your help I appreciate it muchly :)

It is DIY I think.

I have no idea what you said but it's harder than what it looks. I tried doing a Mk1 Escort many years ago, products probably better now.

Aha an off road monstrosity 🤣 First job would be to disconnect the battery before it burns to the ground. I am no electrician but would check out all main earths and main live cables. Wonder if there are any previous modifications that may be...

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/405146123052 One of these kits. You can use the round bit and some m5 bolts (I think) as a make shift gear puller. You can carefully lever it off with a pry bar but don't break the timing chest would be my advice.

To me they are incredibly complicated and something I think might be a good idea may cost me badly. Until I paid the mortgage off I couldn't really pay in enough but now I have some money spare I have found I can't pay in more. Something to do...

Not really, I guess it depends on costs involved. In my mind it would be better to contribute more to a sum of money rather than starting again for 10 years. The £500 initial fee I don't really have a problem getting my head round paying, less...

No

In an ideal world buy one with a galvanised chassis. Otherwise it's time consuming but if you are happy putting the time in then Bilthamber do some good products. I wasn't joking about rusting inside out by the way.

Yes I know it's the general Land Rover section but no way is it going in "Anything goes". Short story, I want to pay more into my pension, my pension provider won't allow it so I need to change. To do this I need to employ a IFA to sort it out...

Tube out rigger might have a few years left. Chassis, if that is the worst then with time, effort, money you could probably slow the process. Fuel tank cradle is bolt on so not so important. Realistically all of our chassis are rusting away...

The Ninety has a Britpart/Allmakes/ Bearmach one for a few years and is fine. My Td5 has a Britpart one, chances are they are all the same whatever you buy.

The top of the tank is easy to see if the fuel is coming from the seal or pipe connections otherwise follow the pipes as they have a habit of rubbing through and therefore causing a leak.

Interesting, what's "a panel touching the side exit exhaust"? Welcome to the forum.

Looks a good project, make sure we get regular updates.

That's probably why I fitted a filter 🤣

The "cotton reel" type poly bushes are a pain on the rear arms, I dont see the improvement. I will find you a video. On my son's Ninety I did it all by hand with bolts and g-clamps. To be fair it was covid lock down so needed to find something to do.

Although you have the glass filter bowl on the lift pump we fitted an inline filter , cheap enough.

Td5? I had to cut the head of a ring spanner and then weld a cut down socket so I could put an extension bar up past the fuel rank to undo the nut. Maybe jack the chassis up so the axle is lower, if that makes sense (probably not) You will need...

I wonder if it depends on what you want to do. If you have a base model then there will be less systems to diagnose. We don't have a Nanocom but it seems like it covers just about everything you would need.

When you count 10 motors in the group..utter madness. I go with people who I know & any bad stuff I leave or they do.

Zenith carbs are prone to warping but can be sanded flat again I do believe. Webber carb was £120 at the time so wasn't worth faffing around, sold the worn out Zenith for rebuild.

I made my own with a welder, piece of steel tube and a couple of thick bits of metal from the scrap metal yard
