Your in the right place my friend… I’ve done the same thing with my old 90…thank god for the experience found on here. ✌🏻

I bought and fitted a shielder to the MAER. Fitted right on with no issues or any changes required. It’s great quality and easy to access to clean it and rust protect it too. Very happy with the standard of it. Terrain tech are rebuilding lr’s and are using MAER and shielder to do this. I got my...

Hey mate. Bought my chassis in autumn 2022. Cost me £1950 delivered to me. Got a good deal. 👍

Hello mate. My chassis was delivered on the back of an Ifor Williams flatbed trailer. MAER have an agent over here who do the delivery with their disco and the trailer so a lorry is not a problem. The company is called spanner monkey from Durham. Depends where you are in the country as there is...

Just done my rear door. Looked around a lot for replacements and settled on a door from paint man panels. I made the right choice as the quality of the door is better than original one. Not galved but it comes primed and you just need to undercoat and top coat it. I also treated the frame with...

Hi, no it wasn’t loose on mine. Bit of movement mind but no leaks. Think your best buying original parts and the sealant turners use instead of a seal. All fine on mine.

Hi there, if it’s any help I did this a few months back. Got my seal from turners and the sealant too. Worked a treat. Plastic sleeve thing was a fiddle but it works fine. Now my old 90 has one less leak 😎

Hello mate. I’m just about finished a rebuild of my 90. I bought a chassis from MAER in Poland. I’m extremely happy with it. The quality is superb and better than what I found here. Price was ok too. It has fitted perfectly with every part I fitted to it including a new bulkhead. Over engineered...

Thanks for that tip, I’m going to go and check that tomorrow then. This light coming on has been hard to fathom out and I have next to no experience with electrics. I’m trying to keep as many of the original parts as I can. I’m rebuilding it onto a new chassis and bulkhead. Thanks ✌🏻

Hi there. I’ve just replaced my shocks n’ springs all round with the standard Britpart kit. It’s all fine and like you I want bog standard my old 90 is a workhorse on a farm and has to earn its corn. The Britpart kit has been fine for me. No failures. I used the same kit as you have in the...

I’ve just changed my bulkhead on my 90…it was ok. Not the easiest thing to do but can be done with a help from someone here and there. Every nut n’ bolt is done by you so you know it’s done proper and you do get the satisfaction of sound it. I had an engine crane to do the mail lift out and in...

Hello mate, thanks for your reply too. Priced the stuff I need from YRM £500-600ish and then a guy to weld it in. I would think that would come to a lot of cash. Got a new chassis and all other parts needed to rebuild up so wouldn’t want to skinflint on a very important part. Just feel it’s got...

Sure, I will get a few photos later on. One of the main parts that needs fixed is the a post as the lany was on its side after I stupidly let a numpty use it to tow a trailer of sheep down a twisty country road at too fast a speed! Usual spots are the footwells and vent areas and a couple of...

Hello mate, thanks for your reply too. Going to price up the parts from YRM. This to me so far has been the hardest part to fix up. Any recommendations for a new bulkhead supplier while I’m here. 👍

Thanks for the reply. A new one makes sense too. Going to price up repairs and see where it comes out. It needs a fair bit, old motor has had a hard life. Thanks mate.
