    Wheels + Tyres

    Yeah on a defender... MOT-failing sticking out? And how would I go about adjusting speedo/odometer etc?

    Wheels + Tyres

    Three things... 265/75R16s. Will they fit on 7x16s? Will they stick out past wheel arches? Will they need spacers etc.?

    Moronic questions about wheels and tyres.

    And what size is bigger than standard but doesn't fill the arches in a stupid manner?

    Moronic questions about wheels and tyres.

    Used search, didn't really help before you yell at me... What size are standard 90 rostyles? And what range of tyre sizes will fit on 7x16s?

    110 Sailsbury into a 90..

    Putting one into a 90 is quite easy, but it might require 2 people. First you open the rear door, then flip the front passenger seat down. Lift the axle and slide it in over the bulkhead and passenger side. Close the door. If you want to put it actually on the vehicle, it's probably a wee...

    71 K reg more likely to be 2A or 3?

    Series 3 it probably is then. Apparently diesel (DVLA) Now to clear out the garage, get a trailer, and buy it...

    71 K reg more likely to be 2A or 3?

    Plastic grille. Air vent. Can only see front and the nearside... Bulkhead is that nice and orange/brown flaky style and bodywork is the green and slimy one...

    71 K reg more likely to be 2A or 3?

    No idea. It's on private land so I can't get a proper look and has been off the road for 17 years so I doubt it still moves. I just want it as a fiddling project...

    71 K reg more likely to be 2A or 3?

    Exactly what i said. DVLA says date of reg is 72, so I'd imagine a series 3, but could have been stuck on a forecourt for ageses...

    Found one...

    It looks (hopefully) like it's been there for over 10 years...
  11. Green Bob

    Found one...

    I don't think it's the sort of vehicle that reasonably moves. Nor the sort that's moved for maybe a decade. (Greenery growing on bodywork, I imagine the chassis is more solidly attached to the grass than the rest of the Landy...) So I'll be looking at 50-100 quid... Suits me, that's...
  12. Green Bob

    Found one...

    ...as the last thread got hijacked by towing legislation. I've reconsidered, and a hard top 109 might do me. If I obtain and post some pictures of stuff, can people tell me roughly how much it would be worth...? Any hints of what to take photos of would be useful. (obv ext. front, rear...

    Accelerator clunk...

    Oh good...

    Accelerator clunk...

    On my 90 TD, when I press the accelerator from it being off, there's a clunk, unless it's done incredibly gradually. For me, this is normal, as it's done this since, well... forever, but is it actually normal, or is there something wrong?
  15. Green Bob

    Found one...

    ...it's a 109. Clearly I didn't look properly. I feel dead stupid now. Anyway, the hunt goes on...
  16. Green Bob

    Found one...

    ...but it's in a field and doesn't look to be worth more than 50 quid, if that. Trouble is, that it looks like farmer's property, and I imagine he'll be "very attached to his dad's old land rover" which is a PITA. Haven't had a proper look at it, but headlights on wings so 2a/3 and it'll...

    ran out of diesel and now I have a warning light on

    I'd imagine the fuel system needs bleeding, diesel cars aren't like petrol cars, you can't just refill from empty and go, any air in the lines or pump needs to be gotten rid of...

    Low to High on the move

    Not true, it's just a very loud clunk. I rarely remember to double declutch to change L-H and it works fine. Although, I'll probably be saving up for a new transfer box soon...

    Maybe put a bigger aerial on? After all, 5 inches isn't a very big one...
