    Can anyone identify these ignition components?

    The Left one is a condenser, if I recall correctly. Not seen one for ages. It filters out electromagnetic interference to the radio. Not sure on the other two

    Cannot refit handbrake drum?!

    Looks fine. They can be a pain to get on. Use a rubber mallet to tap on evenly, once it gets past a certain point it usually loosens up and slips straight on.

    Pre-Purchase Advice! Leaks.

    I'd probably buy it on that observation. The chassis protection system can be repaired easily enough.

    What's this Landy worth?

    Minimum 8k. Possibly more if the new chassis is galvanised.

    Defender prices general discussion

    A friend of mine just bought a camper van for £17k. It's worth £7k at most. Put any price you want and you only need to get lucky with a fool, once.

    Are lift pumps getting worse?

    That's how my setup is at the moment. Would be nice to replace the mechanical pump but then you have the timing to consider if you remove the mechanical pump. Shorter belt? Idler pully? Seems a bit of a headache unless you leave the mech pump in place.

    Are lift pumps getting worse?

    Sounds great, I had no idea you could do that. 🤔

    Are lift pumps getting worse?

    The quality of everything is getting worse. That's not a cynical opinion, it's a fact documented by consumer watchdogs, vloggers, bloggers, and the media. So it wouldn't surprise me if the quality of modern diesel pumps is now crap. So no diesel pump at all? How does the pump regulate the flow...

    Road bias tyres

    Kumho AT52. Much quieter than the mud pluggers the last own had on mine. Wearing very well. Good in the dry and wet. Only driven on grass and gravel as "offroading" goes and they were absolutely fine.

    You just need a louder engine. I don't ear any wind noise from my roof rack :D

    TD5 Turbo whistle

    I suppose the only real way is check your impeller against an original and see if they differ. From what I've seen it's the angle of the vanes that get's the whistle. Alternatively, take it to a turbo specialist and see what they say.
