Actually got round to going at the weekend. It was a good day out, mixture of lanes, good scenery, even the weather was OK. Saw one Freelander 1, group of motor bikes, no other laners. Came across, possibly, the most miserable person in the world...

More progress: Replaced this old fuel sender, now I have the novelty of a working fuel gauge... Refitted the interior and gave it a good clean... New wipers... Finished rebuilding the Ramsey 6000 winch that came with the truck, needed a bit of...

Busy day again! Seeing as the rollcage fitting is looming at the end of the month and given my new pressbrake abilities I thought id try my hand at the A Pilla cable runs! Came out rather well I think! Much neater solution than zip tieing...

Only went and did some off roading! 😅😅 Went to Slindon Safari, only 40mins from me. Sadly didnt get many pics or videos as shortly after we arrived the drivers side CV started clicking its tits off... Slindon was fun though, nice site. Very...

Hi and welcome! Lots of good advice on here. Don’t forget to post a few pics of the disco, especially if you add some mods to it.

I had this issue with my oil filter housing on my old Td5. The bolts are steel and the housing is aluminium, which is easy to strip the threads if the bolts are over tightened. I had the housing helicoiled which solved the problem.

Moved over to the other side and fitted the driver’s side floor. Sounds easy, but took a fair bit of fettling to get it to sit properly! Anyway, I got it in and sealed it with dum dum the same as the other side. After that nightmare, I thought I...

Hi and welcome!

My pipe failed at the join with the oil cooler and dropped most of the oil very quickly. I managed to stop in time so no damage done but had to get the 90 recovered home.

Give that man a cookie. It was the oil cooler pipe. Despite being new for the rebuild last year one of them had been rubbing on the steering column and had worn through! A new set ordered (at great expense) and I will do more this time to make...

Had similar with my 200Tdi last October. Turned out to be a failed oil cooler pipe.

Oil pressure switch. Oil filter, especially as just been replaced. Oil cooler hoses.

Drove it and drove it hard! Road trip up to the Peak District and back, 15 hrs in the saddle. Why does it always take longer to get back than it does to get somewhere? Anyway a good day out, glad to be home though.

I have heard that the cheaper safari copies are easier to break after contact with tree branches and the like as they’re less flexible. And some insurance companies don’t like snorkels as they assume you are taking the vehicle wading…

These where some initial ideas from others. Tweak the design to make mine more.

Just drop the tyres pressures a bit, it’ll be fine!

Is this you ?

I work for a farmer, and was thinking the exact same thing!

Keeping it. We’ve got a place in the mountains in Southern Spain. We’re driving down there in it for the summer.

Annnd done! 3mm stainless.

And sides 😅😅

Was looking at lightguards again, love the ones I had on my old 110 and thought Id challenge myself to draw and make them this time! First prototype, simple 2mm mild. Added some more detail and adjustments for 4mm stainless Involved having...

Or you will find out what it is worth and not sell it. I like watching the vehicles trying to be sold that get put up as a classified a couple of times and dont sell, then an auction that doesn't sell and reaches half the classified price a...

And started on the rusty bulk head corner

Did some wax oiling with my new gun wile engine was out

Report it. Any dashcam footage?

Got my new log book back today with historic vehicle tax class 😀😀

No idea what you are hoping for, but £10-15k would be realistic but the Raptor will have devalued it considerably. The problem at the moment is that most of the people with that kind of money don't want an off roader. Also as much as it looks...

I didn’t get to go again this year due to other commitments. Did anyone go? The posts on FB appear to suggest it was very small and more of a social do than a show…

So since the last update we've been for a weekend in the Cotswolds (last weekend). Had a great time again, saw some cool towns and areas. Visited Clarkson's farm shop, saw some nice cars and bought some overpriced lager. Got some nice plastic...
