Would just narrow down the search parameters, Landys are meant to go everywhere, I'm stuck some no name place looking for the right size hammer and 'f*** me, there's a bloke two coconuts away that's got it'. You don't know you need it unless you're up that particular creek. Everyone else is...

Big hairy scorpions everywhere.. hammer time;)

Beasty and Red, thanks for the link to Barry a while ago, bacon duly saved.

Big meanies one and all, good thing I know how to use a hammer;)))

Any chance of an Overseas For Sale section on the forums, it would really make it easier for looking for parts, vehicles etc. Instead of looking through whatever amount of pages of for sale, breaking etc I could go to Overseas and look through a lot less. Support ex-pat and foreign Landy owners...

Not greedy, all offers replied to with out sarcasm!))) I make monthly deliveries to Madrid, 800km round trips.. she's a good girl.

Hi All, I will be breaking my D1 300tdi from the 15/09/12 in Central Portugal. Engine 300tdi, 131,000miles. Cambelt changed at 118,000miles. Head gasket changed roughly 600miles ago, head professionally skimmed at the same time. Engine starts first time everytime, no cranking involved - first...

Read this then burn your Haynes manual. Do it by the book - the real meaning of Haynes instructions

Never thought breaking down could be so much fun. It was just a broken crown wheel. Unbelievable. Highly entertaining though. Shall look forward to my next major disaster with pure glee now I know how to access my posts.. can't wait.. praying for a total transmission disaster up a Portuguese...

I've been using BMP42 for roughly 5-6 months and my original impression still stands.. don't know stevo88 but if you need to throw stones make sure it's not straight up. Can I claim a record for Most Delayed Comment and is there a prize?

A big thankyou to [JP] and The Mad Hat Man for putting me in contact with bmp42. Living in a foreign country with little grasp of the language I found myself in the un-enviable position of trying to find a mechanic to deal with a shattered front diff, hammered power steering box and a back...

Haynes Manuals - The Real Meanings

Thank you all, contacted Stig and the Disco is starting to feel a lot better.

Hey fella, what was the cost of shipping your 110 out, planning a similiar trip and checking options, cheers Sef

Does anyone know of any Landy/4x4/general breakers yards in Portugal, desperate for a front axle for D1 300Tdi, I've been here for 7months and haven't seen one!!! I'm near to Coimbra/Castello Branco if anyone can help, cheers.

Proper noob question.. Was told I may have Salisbury diffs on my 300tdi, it was just a passing comment but now I need to change the axle I'm left wondering. Is there an easy (or hard) way of telling them apart? Cheers.:D

re Haynes manual, this will explain all! Haynes Manuals - The Real Meanings

Overwhelmed by all the help people, thank you once again to all and I stand corrected JP! Still torrential but i promise not to use the Haynes manual.
