Thanks for all your replies so far. I will have a look at Car & Classic.

I just wanted to get people's opinions on how you would go about selling your Landy? With so much theft out there, I m not sure how or where I should start 🤔 Where is the best place to advertise? I'm looking at moving mine on. It took me 5 years for a full nut & bolt re-build, completed in 2018...

Back on the road after a layup for the Summer. Yesterday was spent washing it down and getting all the green stuff & cobwebs off, today was spent trying to tart up some of the paintwork and leaving the doors open to let the warm breeze in...probably last time I'll be able to do that until the...

I've got a 1985 90 and the window blocks for the front windscreen have seen better days. They are the 2-piece ones where the top part bolts to the windscreen frame and is joined by a hinge to the bottom part of the block which bolts through the bulkhead with 2 bolts. I like the Optimill billet...

Try some weeding instead! :)

For sale is a new, unused Factor 55 Hawse/Fairlead 1.0. I bought this when in the States along with the 1.5” version which I opted to fit so the 1” thick version is up for sale. These are beautifully machined solid anodized aluminium lumps which feel lovely and great quality. Only suitable for...

The wood is about 600-900mm diameter but the lengths will be no more than 900mm long. I will rope the rear to the tree and use chocks but need some recommendations on what chocks to go for?

I’m helping clear some fallen trees and need to winch sections of an Ash tree up a wooded incline. The Landy will be on grass above the incline but still a slight downward slope. The turf is pretty soft. Can anyone recommend some decent winching chocks that will anchor themselves into the soil...

Just posting up to see if I can sort my father’s Freelander 2. He’s 85 bless him so when it comes to electrickery he’s out of ideas (there again so am I!). On start up, the sat nav screen will display the LR logo and then revert to the menu screen as is normal. But within a few seconds the...

I see tumbleweed...

I do apologise; it’s been a long day and I was very tired and short tempered when I said what I said.

At the time I had my sparky with me and he diagnosed the ignition barrel was on it’s way out so I had to remove the X-Defend Column lock that I had previously fitted along with the barrel. I ordered a new barrel there and then and in a blind panic also ordered another X Defend column lock, all...

It’s not broken dumbass...jesus, I hate dealing with muppets.

This was bought from Foundry 4x4 but had to be removed due to a faulty ignition barrel. All it needs is a replacement shear bolt - you will see the bolt in the picture has had the head sheared off, that just needs replacing with a shear bolt and you’re good to go. These are £76 not including...

Thanks for your reply. Is yours a standard model though? Mine is a complete rebuild with a lot of modifications which means in terms of value it’s considerably more expensive than a standard one.
