:DThanks. I am soooo sorry for not searching and thanks for the insults. Will get lazy ass on with it..

Hi Decided to get off my lazy arse and finish a neary 4 yr landie rebuild of a lightweight. Does anyone have any plans for chequer boarding back out please to avoid me reinventing the wheel. Thanks

Went to see a '96 last night just as a second car for shooting. Engine was very sweet with 195000 miles (second engine). Bodywork had small rust patches in quite a few places which didn't bother me at £1100 but there was no engine history. What are typical costs for a clutch and a cambelt job if...

Thanks

Friend has a td5 that keeps blowing the air suspension fuse. Any ideas? One garage has told him that the compressor is on all the time? Is this a home fix job? Thanks

Hi I am rebuilding a 'lightweight' but completion is some time away.... I do lots of shooting and really fancy a defender or discovery. How reliable is the Td5 as my mate has had quite a few problems with his discovery, air suspension and a head gasket that cost him £2000 to fix (he was ripped...

I am just fitting the front repair section to a series 3 lightweight (and contemplating whether I should be replacing the whole chassis with a galvanised one...). I have chopped off the old chassis immediately behind (level with back of) the front cross member. The new chassis section has about...

Will a 2003 engine go straight into a 2001 model\? Mate thinks he has a head gasket blown on his. Been advised that the bores may be buggered and if so a 2nd hand engine is the way to go. Apparentkly the later 2002? models have a flow restrictor in the head to impriove cooling? Any help...

I reconditioned a Zenith. You have to take out the warp of the body and will need access to a machine shop. Kit was about £35 I think.

Looks well smart to me. Someone has put a lot of time and effort into it. Get prepared for some spannering though....Good luck. PS The V6 engines are great, I had them in TVR's previously

My front chassis is pants and the steering relay is seized in the cross member which is knackered anyway. Going to cut it out and fit the Paddocks front chassis part. Anyone done this and where do do reference from?

Thanks for all this. I'm, not going to bother! End of thread.
