A read through the green laning threads and the majority seem to have Disco's / TDI 90's / v8 series etc etc. If I did manage to hook up with some other green laners in my bog standard 2 1/4 petrol 88, am I going to **** them off by lagging behind ? I know actual green lanes probably wont be an...

Replacing the chassis is not and never will be an option. If it cant be patched for a reasonable cost then its going straight back on the bay. But if I can't get it moved it wont even be going on ebay :mad:

Thanks for the link. So in it's current state with the red knob pushed fully forward and the yellow knob in the up position the vehicle should be in high range 2WD. BUt it aint :mad: Any ideas how I can rectify this please ?

Yup :rolleyes: It's not that bad, there is another hole on top of the beam (terminology?) near the front shock mount, but I reckon removing the battery tray will give good access. The other side seems fine and passed the 'stab the crap out of it with a screwdriver test'. I haven't done that...

OK, finally after a lot of dicking around by the owner (lost the bloody keys :mad: ), I managed to get this lump back home. The main problem I have is that the braked are partially on as I had to tow it off the trailer :eek: The master cylinder is disconnected. Is there any other solution...

Thanks Oxides.

Cheers J. Although with these two there is a good chance they will be going straight onto fleabay, but we'll see ;) Don't worry, I'm used to working on pain in the arse cars. My current car is a Fiat! I have had a '94 M Disco before that I bitterly regret selling :mad:

Cheers :D I', reasonably OK with the mechanicals, it's the welding that will be an uphill struggle, although someone mentioned that a local farmer round these parts is bloody handy with a welder and is cheap. Time to make a new friend me thinks

You talk as if you wouldn't really want two shagged out landys on your drive ;)

That's just it. I don't care if they both do turn out to be utter scrap, I'l still buy another that is salvageable even if these two are not. Having fooked up in the first place I've decided I'm going to be the owner of a road worthy tax exempt 88'' whatever happens. No ****. But then the...

Please ignore previous message re- tarpaulin roof :doh: Can someone confirm that I just need to source a cab roof as on the blue one to enclose the brown one and that any series top should fit?

PIzza Hut won't be a problem. If I do manage to rebuild this 88'' I won't be able to afford to eat anyway :D

So he was taking the **** :rolleyes:

care to elaborate ? :confused:

Pontfadog is 3/4 mile from my front door! Can you green lane in a bog standard 88'' diesel ? Or am I gonna **** everyone else off by lagging behind ?

Hi Folks, I live near Glyn Ceiriog and most Sundays I see a procession of Landy's driving past my window and wondered whether there was a local club ? I'm assuming they are heading up to Llanarmon DC somewhere,although I have no idea where. I'm hoping to get my SIII 88 roadworthy within...

Lovely part of the country:) I just found this Ad in the For Sale section. Land Rovers For Sale - landrover series 3 1973 project - Powered by PhotoPost Classifieds From the look of that pic, there shouldn't be a roof on the second landy I bought as it should have the framework and then...

Thanks Guys. The Landy's are in Wrexham , North Wales. Good point re-fuel etc. I was going to winch them on to be honest, I was just a bit worried what may be seized, that would need freeing off before I could move them. Dewin, are you based in North Wales then ?

Hi folks , New poster, and as of this Thursday owner of what I think (:doh:) are two series III 88'' Land Rovers. You will no doubt be familiar with too many beers + eBay = Waking up with dreadful realisation of what you did the night before! So I am now the proud owner of two (what I...
