What have you done to your Landie today.

well the V8 you'd have both and i got about 6/7 extra MPG than the 2.25 petrol
cant see why the blower would'nt improve what you want tbh and better MPG too.

I got 34 mpg on my last run down your way and back......and I was in a hurry

Not keen on 115 bhp through Series running gear tbh though I probably would anyway if it were'nt for the added fitting hassle.......Mines an original 6 pot, different bulkhead, and even if you lift to get over the chassis or scoop it you still lose a sizable chunk of footwell

fitted me bullbar & spots(see pic), sorted me rattling brake pads and fitted a new buld for the clock, a very productive day!!

put some panels on... looked like a landy again well for 20 minutes before they came off so i could crack on with the build

Changed engine and gearbox oils, and set valve clearances .. much easier when I took the glowplugs out!

Not today but had my NEW set of extreme offset modulars fitted and then swapped my old disco steels for some spot lights then fitted those to my roof rack, last job done was to fit new steering guard which I got from Peterborough show knocked down from £60 - £45 as he had one with a mark on it ....

Feck all

Busy weekend, changed the gearbox for a recon, changed the input gear for a cross drilled one as the original was fooked, new clutch whilst we was at it, new uj's in front prop, wired in the winch and changed the p gasket, now off to bed for a well earned rest

Driven it a lot. Time to make an appointment for some professional TLC
