    Picked up a new 4.6 for parts and possibly block. Front cover is identical and undamaged,oil pump is also intact and looking great. Just need to fit my oil filter angled adapter on and will be golden.

    Anywhere you have the ally next to steel you get the oxidation. If you reskin the doors, cover the steel frame with Harry Black Maskers, or gaffer tape first.

    Thanks, yes I would agree. There's something about that County livery that's very evocative of that age. Plus this appears to have been one of the Queen's Land Rovers - first registered to her transport manager at Windsor Castle no less! :p

    A good mix. Some series 2’s and 3’s, early 90’s and 110’s, defenders, freelanders and discos. 😁

    You're too late! I've done a deal myself for £7,350. And a big thanks to the guys who suggested it would polish up with some T-Cut because it does! The previous owner never, ever washed it so it got badly oxidized, but it scrubs-up nicely with...

    If that is your only issue with a 20 year plus truck you are very lucky. Only a thorough clean up will disclose the exact cause of the leak. Also I think the oil has a red hue which says main box oil. Anyway it will be basic fix of gasket or...

    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.
