Sure:

I bolted my jack to the front of the rear seatbox. It needs to go diagonally up to fit a swb, but I just put a bolt through one of the top holes in the ladder to keep it in place - also stops it moving about. I put a carpeted fake seat front in place to hide it , which fits under the lip of...

Cheers Spyderman, will look for one of those first tomorrow, as lazyness won over today. :)

Cheers Rusty, that's exactly what I was hoping to be able to do. I'll visit the local breakers tomorrow, Ta.

Ran into a small bit of bother yesterday on a run across to my sisters. Can't really blame the landie - it was, well for Scotland anyway, stunningly hot (76f) and there was an incident on the forth road bridge which meant we had spent about 45 minutes crawling towards it. On the baking...

Welcome! Any pictures of your new acquisition?

I got a rack fairly recently - full length 90 size rack and it has 4 clamps at the mo - it can take 10. I doubt it's going anywhere but I intend to make some more as I haven't found a supplier. Either some bolts or even some threaded rod, cut to size and welded to clamps made out of thick angle...

Strange, I've only used them since January but they couldn't have been more helpful. I fecked up an online order and emailed them - they changed the order and issued a refund for the small difference straight away. The girl who helped me was really friendly too. Honestly not doubting the OP but...

Food for thought especially re welding - thanks guys. Keep it coming.

Yeah I see what your saying - got lots to do to the SIIa and I am learning as I go so it's not like I currently possess all the skills needed to fix up the SIII - which means learning as I go which takes longer etc. The missus takes the view learning to weld would be a good thing considering...

Succinct answer - cheers. Haddington, about 20 miles east of Edinburgh. Bit far away!

Decisions chaps, hoping someone can help me make my mind up. I got the Series III (88", 2 1/4 petrol, 1980, pretend defender front end) off my Father in Law. Brother-in-law was going to help me weld the various holes in the chassis - the short of it he didn't have time in the end. So the...

Perhaps you should tell him yerself. Landies can get frustrating as **** when things go wrong, but the free advice given on this forum is invaluable - I have learned so much in the last 4 months it's unreal since I got my SIIa - most of it from on here. There's always the joke thread and...

Sure, it's called politeness and it's free - try it! ;)

Nice one - I take back all my complaints about cctv cameras!

Good work fella! And cheers for all those guides you put together, fookin useful!

Erm.... landy1 - Land Rover Photos Was like that when I got her, honest guv.

In fairness, it does have a cracking bit of carpet in the rear load area!! I've just sent a question: "Hi, I notice that their are both a lady and a nice carpet featured in your photographs. Now I expect the lady doesn't come with the landy, but I'm hoping the carpet does - it adds a very...

Fitted a cracking roof rack and ladder which a kind forum member passed over to me in return for a small amount of beer tokens. It looks fantastic on the old landy. Noticed a slight leak from the bung in the bottom of the fuel tank so that's the most pressing thing to do next. Brother-in-law...

Cheers chaps :) It's probably hard to not shoot good shots of landies - they just have the right dimensions to look imposing!
