Dodgy illegal number plates included too.... :D

and here was me last week making the exhaust

Did a thing.. converted to m57n2 in the end with a zf 8hp70x gearbox

2005 TD5 still on the original pads and still plenty on them

I've seen a few more jobs to do while I was under there. There's a crack in the exhaust pipe near the rear silencer and the brake pads are getting thin. The exhaust was a stainless one which I fitted in 2012, so that's thirteen years it's lasted...

it sounds to me like you want to fit a RRC body onto an L322/L405 or similar then customise the interior

Put the rrc body onto an 80's G wagon chassis and running gear with the 6cyl mercs diesel engine and gain the hydraulic diff lockers as well. That thing would crawl up the side of a house if it could 🫵😎

Yeah i think the TDV8 had the 8HP. This is what i would do B57 engine along with its 8HP transmission out of a G05 BMW X5 and all its electronics that go with it, mainly the ECU. Design an adaptor plate to fit the borg warner transfercase to the...

I got a "free" brand new delongi (spelling) dehumidifier, I left it under my boat as the lad was shampooing the carpets & interior of my boat, he was cursing me as it weighs 35kg & had to get it up a ladder & into the boat. Apparently its an air...

You dont need to understand this as you only weld rusty old donkeys 🤣🤣

So, I had asked W to ring her credit card peeps about this money paid in error to Axa-Schengen. It took her two gos as the first eejit just went through a mountain of security poop and then cut her off. But the 2nd guy was decent, saw the problem...

OK, I found this and am not much the wiser! https://www.damatech.com/en/Prehardened-steel/Hardox/Hardox-Welding

Lucky there, my '87 Vogue has LR developed anti-roll bars retro-fitted by one of it's two previous owners, sacrificing (allegedly) only half-an-inch of suspension travel, for those few owners that would have actually ventured off-road ;)

I had a RRC it would be better to spend the money on re-building as standard best and most reliable vehicle I have ever had appart from a bit of roll at speed round corners

I confess to not being an engineer, but don't have to look far to find a level of irony in your plan. As I understand it you want to take the best Range Rover model the old Rover Co (latterly LandRover) ever made, renown for it's ability...

Are you actually for real? Are you doing the work yourself (I'm doubting, as you simply wouldn't ask some of these questions if you were). What is your budget? £20k, £50k, £150k or more? Doing this will likely result in a non roadworthy vehicle...

stop, that's not real input 😜

Welcome to Landyzone.

Have the Roma overdrive unit fitted to are TD5 for long haul trips makes a big differences in fuel, noise and comfort no effort at 70 but also wish I had fitted CC would have made it even more usable, but now we no longer do the 1250 mls non stop...

That is a very subjective question and one that only you can answer. I do about 25k a year in my 200tdi 110, this has reduced from the last few years were it was high 30k's. My stand point is my 200tdi is fine for long distance motorway journeys...

At the moment we are nocturnal just to hot in the day went down yesterday even hotter but thunderstorms forecast at the weekend with 6inc of rain we desperately need it for the plants and the forest fires 😯

Got up late then spent ages retrieving old emails from Axa-Schengen on the pooter where the email won't send or receive them any more. Looked on my phone where they should also be, they weren't all there, bizarrely, seeing as the email address...

Surprisingly, not quite!!! Our area seems to be where you come to die.....late!!

Bought some bonds in 1981. Never won anything, ever. Maybe I should have bought more than a tenners worth 😁

Nuffin ere eever.. AGAIN!

If you need to prune on a regular basis would be worth investing in a mulcher then spread it in the garden as mulch and be more green

Cooler smornin. Nice breeze. Got me windows open to cool down castle ippo. Will chop up me tree cuttings later to feed me bin ready for the clowncil to take it away. Naybor chopped his side up into small bits so we get more in.

I slip the sheeps a big one, not the other way round silly 😵‍💫
