this makes a lot of sense.

I wish I was still in the UK, as well! Thank you for the info, I really appreciate your help!

Greetings LR lovers: can anyone tell me what the black threaded tubing is called on the engine block and where I can get them? It’s leaking something bad! 1995 LR Def 110.

Can someone PM me on places to hide the Skytag in a 110? Thanks, you guys are great!

2002 Discovery TD5 Automatic £3900 118k miles Just the basics, I’m kinda new around Landys.

Anyone ever had any luck getting Foley’s to reply to emails? This is my second time in 3 months, and it’s “crickets”. They so well off that they don’t have to follow up warm leads for legitimate business? It says on their site to email them!

Who’s your guy?

I'll get some pics up when I can. I'll prob have to put it on a rack get some good enough to elicit help.

Never really thought of that! I think that may be a nice solution, as well. I am going to follow up on some of these recommendations offered in this thread. Just to get an idea of what I should be expecting for this kind of work. I've just delved into more of the forum and I'm getting unnerved...

Meaning that they were totaling up what it would cost for the other repairs I wanted and they sent me the quote Friday, awaiting my response on what I wanted to do next. Sounds like I won't be doing a crossmember.

Great suggestion! It is a 1995 300 TDI 110. Unfortunately, it is still sitting at the shop-so I don't have the pics. Looking at it straight on, looks solid. even crawling underneath wouldn't cause concern, however when you reach inside from way underneath, that is where you find the corrosion...

So, I'm feeling that a second opinion is in order. Anyone have a good recommendation for a shop who does this work in the Bury St. Edmunds area?

Everyone! Appreciate your input!! The total includes a chassis, and labor...so, £6250 total. I think they subcontract out, which is the reason for the high price.

my “new” Defender 110 apparently needs the quarter end redone and welded (crossmember with extensions) for £1950. Mansfield 4x4 also wanted to inform me that to do just the whole chassis it would just be another £4300 tacked on (as to not require any more welding repair). Would anyone like to...
