sure :) I think i'm gonna go to the NFU with me dad as they seem to be quite landy and young person friendly but i will call up some others tommorrow, as i'm only 17 its gonna have a much greater effect on my insurance than older peeps. I've looked a a few tuner/ modified forums to see who they...

ask storm for some left over paint from his respray :D

Might be power steering fluid as it was pink in me friends car

I kinda thought that but i will probably declare everything with me dad lookin over me shoulder :rolleyes:

Insurance depends whether you are named driver or on someone elses, look on fleabay and find a couple of landys that you like take the reg from the picture and do a price comparison website search (confused.com gave me my best quote with the post office) Series rovers are quite agricultural...

I've done that and don't regret it. Costs me £1K in insurance where as a defender is nearer £2.5K (i'm 17 by the way). All me friends think i am crazy right till i take them off roading (then they think i'm a complete nutter) :D

oh and by the way martin I really like what you done with your 109 (no newfangled engine there) and your job title sounds great :)

I got an overdrive and fwhs factory fitted :) got to 70 mph with a tail wind, downhill on motorway but it feels much better at 60 and who care you just set out a little earlier

I am gonna see them tommorrow to have a chat. I may just end up cleaning up the manifolds and leaving it as standard. My insurance cost's £1000 at the moment but me dad on me car is only £50 :mad:

Couple more things is the sender ever described as an oil pressure switch or is that just for a warning light? and I have heard you can do a lot to tidy up and improve the head with a dremmel?

I'm 17 and insurance is a killer :( also i want to stay fairly original Not so concerned about power more about reliability and relative fuel economy. SU carbs won't cost and manifolds will be just materials and time turner head I thought was cost effective and well thought of?

thanks for your advice Its petrol and i'm thinking about getting a turner head, fitting a pair of SUs me dad has lying around by fabricating a manifold similar to the boxer one as well as possibly a tubular manifold so i guess it may rev slightly higher. All the ones on fleabay seem to go...

Always forget something :doh: I think I might want a tachometer, I know I need a 4 cylinder electric one but what revs, max and red line should i be looking at?

I am rebuilding me series 3 at the moment (ain't started a thread yet as i'm not allowed back into me shed until after AS's) but I thought I may as well start to fabricate part of the dash. (That's in me bedroom at the mo) I noticed it has 3 spare holes in it and currently I have a Ammeter...

Okay so I got the winch today is it just the shafts you don't have? or do you need the mounting bracket, universal joint and other stuff?

I'm gonna pick it up on sunday so will post back here then :) oh and I may be able to get a D.T. technician at school to to make some up for you as he used to be a tool maker for mclaren f1 but I would have to check with him if you want to go down that route.

Hi mate I just bought one and can take some measurements if you want

Oh and one other thing I forgot in the original post is I want to put a locking diff in the rear axle and I take it standard series diffs get ripped apart by this?

I am well into the strip down of me Series 3 and have decided to start buying parts. :D I am making all the mechanicals sound first and will do a rolling resto of the aesthetics. So a bit of back ground I am going to use the land rover for heavy duty off roading and towing and I am thinking...

I know its no defender but what about this
