Finally finished the 2 year project, started it when i was 15 and now just about to pass my driving test. fair to say its been a labour of love!! things done to the 1989 200tdi -engine swap to 300tdi - respray to rioja red -4" suspension lift -new interior -roof rack-spotlights -new...

just for anyone wanting to know what sealant is amazing is this stuff called CT-1, used by the trades, and have used it on the boat for a while, had a leaking roof on the 90 so got a tube of white CT-1 and all leaks stopped etc.. it even drys in the wet!! http://www.ct1ltd.com check it out...

will keep you informed

i quite clearly posted the first one in an appauling mood as most would be, im still going to call the guy up tomorrow though and see what he says as he 'seemed' a genuine guy, but clearly not if indeed he did the work which i 100% believe he did. sorry for wasting your guys time, but thanks...

after it was checked by the proffesional it has always been MOT'd at my local garage as is only 1 minute away, it failed its first mot on warped discs on the rear and worn shock bushes and that was it no chassis mension what so ever

i can prove it due to the fact that he purchased the car from suffolk and my mates car from Aberdeen, he then did 'some' work to both of the cars one a year later than the other, both came from different ends of the country, went through the same middle man and then came out with the same shoddy...

compensation to repair the chassis, i had the car thorougly checked out by a landrover mechanic with 30 years experience, and he ha MOT'd it for the past 2 years, even he did not find the patch, it just looked like a well wax oiled chassis. so to those saying i didnt check the car properly i...

Shoddy patchwork under roofing felt

Ok, I bought the car 2 years ago, a mate bought his landy from the same place, he had a problem with his car with patching on the chassis using roofing felt, his was 5 months ago now, today I have discovered the same on mine after fitting new brakes and swapping over the radius arm bushes. Can I...

The camber king

Just a little more stabbing revealed the extent of the hole in mine, not to bothered as the surrounding material is thick enough for a patch to be welded on!

Yeah he really is! And he is just an individual no company name, it had passed its mot about 1 week after purchasing too! Plus my mate has already bought the new chassis and it will be arriving on Friday! He paid around £3500 from memory, chassis wasn't the only bad bit, it needs new brakes all...

I've had mine for around 2 years and his for around 1 month, he has tried but when the listing says "sold as seen" you can see how he covered his ass! He also tried to sell a defender 200tdi with a "galvanised chassis" about 1 week ago and he had just sprayed it silver!

After a friend bough his landrover from the same person who i purchased mine, we decieded to have both out chassis re waxoyled, after pressure washing to create a clean surface. on his defender large cunks of what seemed to be roofing felt were pealing off the chassis, turns out the b@+!!£d had...

And finally have fitted central locking alarm and eureka immobiliser and have also removed rear bulkhead and will fit bar when I have time to remove the sides and roof!!
