Would this be any use? Lidl Online I assume it can be used with 1/2" AF sockets?

Whta about a welder?

w h a t ? Fuel burning heater?

The honesty is frightning;) I assume the scaffold pole is as a breaker bar? (although i am quite short) What sizes will I need in imperial and whitwworth spanners/sockets? I have alot of metric tools since my BMW E30 project. Although I imagine that the british engineering will be more...

Hi everyone, Still haven't found the right landy yet unfortunetly. But was wondering what tools are needed for working on one. I have a decent load of kit but don't know how usefull most of it'll be. (mostly metric gear so am slightly afraid of rounding off nuts and striping treads etc) So...

Check out operating instructions here and good luck with her.:D Land Rover Overdrive

Hi Teflon, Thanks forthe very comprehensive answer. I have a lot to think about. I know restoring a land rover on "the mainland" (wait isn't Britain an island too?;)) would be a hell of a lot cheaper but as you say even Series for spares go for silly money here.

Hi everyone, Stew here in Cork, Ireland I've been lurking for a long time with a view to getting myself a landy S3. But unfortunately haven't had the extra cash:( But today my new business venture (sports-wear) got its first contract from a large local school to the tune of 70K!!!!!!!! Now...

Thanks for the replies lads. I really don't have a preferance. The Petrol's extra bit of power would be nice but on the other hand I'm self employed so can claim back all my diesel receipts. And i'm guessing at the rate these yolks drink juice "free" diesel is a no brainer.

Hi everyone, It's my first post so please be gentle. Looking at buying my first land rover at the mo. Preferably a series 111. My question is, as a fella with limited mechanical knowledge which would be easier to tinker with, Petrol or Diesel? All input welcome please Stew.
