I've just spent the last 7 months giving her a new chassis and rebuild, she can do one if she thinks she is getting anything else! (ok, maybe some led lights, if she behaves)

Thanks for that, think you are correct. Just been doing a bit more research and it looks like the black thing with electrical connectors could be a fuel change over switch? Maybe someone was running red diesel? I'll get rid of it and fit new pipes just incase it is letting air in.

Hello, today I have been trying to work out why I have a poor fuel supply and thought it was about time I found out what this thing is connected to my fuel lines, in case it could be causing any problems. I assume it is something a previous owner added, can anyone shed any light? I assume I...

ps. just done a search on ebay and a 'Plastidip' looks just the job for tub underside

I'm currently doing the same job. I'm no expert but may give you some help? personally, I don't like hammerite, I find it doesn't adhere that well. Sorry, don't know about Triflow/No rust. I have just finished my front axle, used paint stripper, then removed the soft paint with a wire brush on...

Ah ok, thanks for that.

I'm just about to buy one so would like to know what that means/entails please?

I have recently learnt that it's a steep learning curve becoming a new owner of a Defender so I come here for advice and always do a search first. But I am a bit reluctant to ask a question incase I receive a smart alec reply. It has put me off a bit becoming a Defender owner, go a bit easier...

ah ok, thanks. Fingers crossed it will be ok when inspected tomorrow.

I wouldn't really be prepared to do a chassis swap and I needed her back on the road asap to earn her keep :) Resale value isn't important at the moment, and she will get a galv chassis, just not this year. I have just raised your point about the centre chassis with my Landie man and he...

Just looking at my invoice: Front welding = removal of front panel, radiator, engine: Material = £85 Labour = £450 Rear 1/4 Chassis = parts £260, labour £250 So about £1k, correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't a new chassis fitted be about £2.5K? I just wanted to get out of a hole and...

Because my man assures me it isn't and that's good enough for me. A new chassis would have blown my budget taking into account everything else that needed doing. As long as I get another few years out of it. 92 Tdi

I have just had some repairs done to my chassis - the front has been repaired and a new rear 1/4 chassis fitted, I asked the bloke if it will need more work done in the future but he told me it will be good for another 20 years!? And a new chassis wasn't economically viable!? From this...

Excellent! Keep us updated.

Just had mine done on a 200tdi for £350
