I thought I would try a front door on, so fitted the hinges and gave it a try. As you can see it’s a mile out! I expected this, but not by that much…. Anyway, it could do with the bulkhead aligning as the chassis bracket is not fitted. I’ll try...

Happy with progress ,I moved onto the tunnel and floor panels. I fitted some wiring to the reverse light switch and fed it through into the engine bay for connection later as I think it may be a real challenge to get in to after the tunnel is...

After some delays due to holidays, I managed to make some progress on the internal panels. I was dreading fitting the seat box, as I could see that there was a slight bend on the rear rail. It must have happened when I riveted it together...

like this one, only longer and without the dent ;)

Hi and welcome! Any pics of the new Landy?

Maybe more to it than just the ground conditions then. Will see what venue they come up with.

Nothing too exciting but swapped the hold fuel filter guard for a new stainless one. Typically the nust where almost rounded over, hammered a 9mm socket on and off it came. Few coats of Blackit before refitting! Also finally connected my...

Welcome back! Don’t forget some pics of the new Landy!

Hi and welcome from another 90 owner!

Moss likes to grow on the seals and muck builds up in the grooves which the windows slide in. Give them a spring clean.

the rubber mounts were all quite bad and separating from the metal mounts But are available Well time to refit and move on 😀

The fun stuff about restoring your Landy is when you've taken it apart, cleaned refinished the rusty bits by arduous labour, etch primer and 2k gloss. Got new replaceable consumables and end up with a kit to put back together. It's like when you...

Ive bought & sold on here everyone has been superb to deal with. :) :) Also gumtree, I put the advert with email reply's only & take pics away from my house so it cant be identified. Genuine peeps will email you & you see if they can write a...

I bought my 90 after it was advertised in a classified ad on the old LRO forum. The seller was surprised at how quickly it sold.

Have a look at the link… https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/how-would-you-go-about-selling.392070/

Hi and welcome! Nice disco too.😎

Disco 300tdi Fairly close to Ringwood

Good repurposing of a tool belt.

I recall a discussion on the disco 2 boys club a few years ago about receiver hitches not being type approved for the UK. If this is true, with the disco 4 being much newer it might also not be approved. Probably not an issue unless you have an...

There are lots of chancers and scammers on FB marketplace and eBay although there are also genuine buyers on both. Car and Classic is a good recommendation.

Original as in unmodified. However, unmodified pre-defender 90’s and 110’s are holding their value well, more so than vehicles covered in sandpaper paint and with lots of bolted on accessories.

Hi and welcome! Nice looking Landy. Good camper conversion too.

While making use of the slight improvement in the Scottish weather, and clearing some of the undergrowth from around the family estate, I stumbled across one of these: Seems I left it lying there about 18 months ago. Still looking for the...

The exception appears to be original vehicles, particularly early ones. The USA market is helping to drive prices for original landies, which some sellers are targeting with higher prices.

For those who requested Piccies.

No wonder your other half isn’t impressed, it looks insane!😮

Putting together a Greenlane trip for May Bank holiday Mon 27th. Intending to start about 9am North West of Reading and head down towards Lambourn and onto Wiltshire finishing whenever you like. Based on the condition of the lanes last year I'm...

Hi and welcome!

Hi and welcome! Where in Hampshire are you? What Landy?

Slight mishap when the old rear section fell off 😂 Neither the time nor the cash for Demand so a Britpart 3" special but made a new tip. Fit up is terrible btw. The hangers needed a fair bit of manipulation so it wouldnt rub.. Probably wont...
