Leadfarmer... thanks for the reply. What steps did you have to go through with your change of chassis with DVLA...? Any details would be useful.

No new VIN number currently on the new Marsland chassis. They come with no VIN stamped on.

Also handy to have a replacement set of turret rings! Good guide for changing the springs and shocks that I used here: Defender front and rear suspension refresh

Hi all, I suspect this will be the start of many, many posts on this excellent forum from me! Just purchased my first Landy 90 200tdi. Didn't spend a lot (£2.5K) but chassis seemes to be good (as far as I can tell!), engine & gear box seem to also be good (it drives, doesn't come out of any...
