I'd need to know more about the proper service history, but my first port of call would probably be injectors - obviously depending on when they were last changed.. 2nd would be a watching brief on the CHG - LR specify 250K change - so I'd consider a pre-emptive strike, if it suits your plans..

I like the fact that there is now some competition in the market - whether I'd have one ? - I don't know.. The Massey 6S-190 behind has more interest TBH - and is more use ..:banana:

IIRC, it was a certain Gordon Brown, who changed the rulez.. before same the rules were quite simple.. I also heard that the change was done following / through lobbying - the end result being that double cab pickups became very popular more or less overnight - it was actually the reason we...

Welcome Aboard :) Worth considering re- routing your loom - keeping it inside the body if possible .. Depends if you CBA'd.. ;)

I think the D1 is a complete classic - IMHO it is probably the pinnacle of vehicle engineering - simple enough to maintain without complex diagnostics, and what electronics are on it are either repairable, or replaceable, or ignorable without compromising basic vehicle functions - something...

+1 on the above - excellent work - good to see progress, and +1 on the photo upload thingy - I might even start the project thread I've been threatening now, too :banana: ;)

It has indeed :) ... Me too .. Landed here late afternoon.. Many thanks to @scoots - lovely fella .. I'm looking forward to finishing it ;);) Probably not the work of doing it :D ;) I'll try to post some pics o_O , and start a project thread soon .. :)

Er, yeah :- ;);)

My own recent experience with waxoyl leaves a lot to be desired.. actually a hell of a lot :mad:. Such a contrast to how it used to be :rolleyes:. I’m rather annoyed about the state of the chassis on SWMBO’S D1 after copious waxoyling, … Lanolin based products seem to get good reviews, but I...
