Hi and welcome! Lots of good help and advice on here. There’s good write up in the members projects section of a disco 2 V8 project too which might give you some inspiration.

Bloody things ... My 1994 has the long thin ones, you need to pull them away from the wing and then twist the bulb and holder out... The orginal ones were stuck on with double sided tape. Not right IMO. So after a friend of a friend pulled one of...

Well maybe you're right, then. I should forget about a respray and just get it jet-washed, T-cut and waxed for 500 quid or whatever they charge these days. The interior is actually quite good, just rather grubby but that too would certainly clean up.

It’ll clean up nicely. This was in the same state prior to a cut and polish.

I had almost this exact same issue not so long ago, exacerbated when towing. I replaced my drop arm ball joint, which impoved it, but was still getting a strange feeling through the steering going into corners hard or towing, I checked...

Buy new Lemforder and replace the crap ones.

Gywn lewis do new covers. Much higher quality

Very specific!

Hi and welcome! Much safer than a motorbike for a mid-life crisis!

Hi everyone, just got my 1st (and likely last lol) 110 ht defender and joined here to pick brains as i already need help but will leave that for the proper page. Yes, 1st defender in my late 50's..gotta start sometime :) Pic of my 110, ex uk...

You’ve built a monster truck! That’s what my lad said when he stuck his head into the garage, and to be honest he isn’t far wrong. Tyres fitted to the new rims, rear extended arches fitted, new power steering pipes in, fuel pipes fitted to the...

A galvanised chassis and originality will make this desirable. £8k sounds achievable. A new set of galvanised body cappings and a polish up of the bodywork would work wonders.

I would agree with the 8k maybe a bit more depending on condition of other things. Although I am not looking for a V8 so these prices will be lower I paid £2250 18months ago for an ‘89 110 station wagon with no v5 (exported but never left) and...

Minimum 8k. Possibly more if the new chassis is galvanised.

That would polish up pretty good I should think, good enough anyway. Where would you stop though? Once the bodywork is done, then it's the interior, then the engine etc

I reckon that would clean up pretty well, looks pretty original. No idea about price, personally they all seem too expensive to me.

Lovely looking lightweight!😎. I’m sure the wiring can be sorted. 😁

Check out the reason I was standing in a puddle of diesel, after filling to make sure I made it home, As I stated, Infantile had been at "Work":mad:

Trust me it wears thin after a while.

Thats the king doo ribs in that foil tub, I chuck the bones back in & bin it as one of our dogs was a bin raker so no chances taken. It would be better if they had see through lids as id keep em for nuts bolts n screws.

I wouldn’t use the tin foil trays though!

33 quid plus delivery for a wee tray. I can get a meal deal for 2, delivered with 3 quid change so thats 6 chinky tubs & a round tub but thats the curry sauce one. :p

Quite a few cross over size wise, not perfect but good enough to get you out of a pickle.

Hi and welcome! Any pics of the landies? We like pics…

Some clubs will be more responsible than others then. GLASS is the best bet for green laning or pay and play sites for off roading.

Got a fair bit more progress to show you guys! Stripped the block of front cover, cam chain and sprockets, camshaft, pistons & rods, crankshaft and sump. Here's some pics... Then I cleaned the sump... Then I removed...

The power steering pump fitted, steering box seals changed cleaned and painted, with new pipes on order. Steering column fitted with some new uj’s. New fuel lines fitted along with a new galv fuel tank bracket and YRM stainless fitting kit. Rear...

I’ve got one too (a metal locking cubby box, not stained curry tubs!) to fit to my 90. You can but internal trays for cubby boxes from the likes of Mud Stuff, but at a price.

Worth keeping for a Landy as you never know where Land Rover have used odd size fixings!

Greenlane association or local off road clubs for green lanes.. If you want off road fun, go for a pay and play site here you can get stuck and winch away to your hearts’ content.
