    This stuff. I got it at The Spray Store in Motherwell. They recommended 2.5ltrs for the 90 at a 2:1 mix with standard thinners for spraying. £70 inc the vat.

    Done the front propshaft UJs and refitted it then sealed a leak (hopefully) on the transfer box. Discovered that my rear prop now needs the UJs doing but that's a tomorrow job and with that off it'll let me sort out that diff flange leak as well.

    The shuttle vavle came off and is now in bits, being cleaned up for reassembly. The plastic switch seems to be fouling the shuttle valve itself if fully screwed down. No washer was there so head scratching time for assembly to make it work...

    Being a student has quite a significant effect on the viability of buying and running a Landy. Firstly, affordability. Insurance and reliability as mentioned, and fuel and general running costs. Also, consider the theft risk. They do get stolen...

    Agree with the above, it may well have seating for four in the back but only if those seated on one side have legs. If you are a youngster I would strongly suggest an insurance quote would be wise, infact regardless of age get a qoute first.

    It is not an 89 truck. Many features mark it as noted above as a 300tdi. If Vin and V5 say so very likely it's a ringer.

    I reckon it's a 300tdi We shall see if the chassis number exists with no welding in that area. Maybe the OP can provide a photo of the chassis number stamped on the chassis.

    I went for a satin finish. Quite chuffed with it. I’ll refit the black checker plate I had and I think it will look ok.

    It looks nice in the picture. However, look beyond the paintwork, alloys and steps. Make sure it’s not just tarted up. The engine is not original. It’s most likely from a disco 1. What does the seller consider a nasty repair? If the chassis and...

    Well maybe you're right, then. I should forget about a respray and just get it jet-washed, T-cut and waxed for 500 quid or whatever they charge these days. The interior is actually quite good, just rather grubby but that too would certainly clean up.
