Thanks, it looks better in the photos than I think it is in reality but its certainly better than it was. It took almost a week of evenings and a full Saturday to leave it how it is there. That includes the two patches that it needed.

took the heat gun to the rear tyre cover and no more grey! once it was hot i threw poor boys trim restorer onto it and left it to soak and now it looks new! came out well. same cant be said for the arch trims, theyre still not looking great and its easy to spot the ones that havent been...

New key (case). The old one had one button missing and the spare was headed in the same direction. New case from amazon (came with LR logo, it was a must :D) and transferred all the innards over and the key blades. Dead east to do.

Absolutely stunning!!! Thats a gorgeous little landy!!

Clean :D

A week on and the rot has been welded in behind the front passenger wheel. also found some more in behind the rear passenger wheel once the steam cleaning was finished but it was all repaired. the chassis was all flattened back with various discs on the grinder and the wire brush on the drill...

I haven't really been doing a lot with the disco recently as I've been getting one of the other past times ready for the show season. A little welding a new exhaust system saw it out of hibernation. Little and large finally met. Beyond that, can I ask we take a moment of silence in memory of...

So far this weekend we've had two blips, nothing serious, just frustrating. First the sunroof stuck open. Nothing i did would make it close but it turned out that after the interior trim was removed and the motor unplugged and and then plugged in again, it worked! Not too sure what the problem...

this is very true, they arent going down in value, even the mk3's are getting more valuable. theres just not enough hours in the day

thats exactly how it goes, its like a disease that grows haha ive found myself looking at series 3 109s but i need to get my beetle done. bought a second one, a 69, over christmas but its in a dire state. ill get round to it one day once i get the others done!

excellent, those should be useful. when i said door seals, i meant these weather strips that run along the bottom of the windows -...

I had thought about rubbing back and treating it and then maybe wrapping it with something but that might compound the issue. Dreading what I'll find under the seal, mine looks like the paint has withered with few rust veins appearing. as for the frames, i made a point of getting some rattle can...

Thanks fellas, the oil itself was like beige paint and it had a horrible smell, by the looks of it, it wasn't great and hadn't been touched for a long while. As you both have said, I'll likely flush it through after 1k or so, maybe less, and take the last of the bad oil out. I've used this -...

Gearbox oil changed during a snow flurry but after a quick run around the new oil seems to make the world of difference. Second is no longer a fight so hopefully it’ll remain as such. That said, the old drain plug looked like a Christmas tree which is rather worrying.

Yes I am indeed, I’m one of the admin on the mk2 golf owners club and I’m also on volkszone. I’ve a mk2 gti and a 75 beetle. I take your from the direction as well then?

thanks, thats easier than i was making it!

ive since been informed its the brakes (ABS) and isnt anything to worry about so i can ignore that. took a few minutes easier to give the door hinges a quick grease so now the doors are a little smoother to open and dont make just as much racket. the first niggle has reared its head though...

thanks! so far so good!

no, its had a rear spring conversion. i was ignoring it as i thought it might be the compressor but was under the impression its in the boot?

Hello, I've bought my first Land Rover!! After looking for some time I found an '04 TD5 Landmark with 84k on it! Thoroughly pleased as I've had a lusting after the coveted green oval for some time now and have been lurking on this forum for easily ten years. This forum by the way, is an...
