welcome to Landrover ownership, wait till we get a few icy spells and you're using de-icer on the inside of your screen:p it's great fun!

I'm in the middle of doing mine on my own, it took me 4 days to completly strip it, i'm now starting the rebuild, but I spent a day painting the new chassis and axles. They are a doddle to work on, i found it easier removing rusted up bolts by over tightening them and snapping them, I'm putting...

To rule out the starter motor you could remove it and put it in a vice and then connect it up to a good battery, if you then use a screwdriver across the 2 contacts it should spin up, but make sure it's in a vice cos if it is a good starter then it'll jump all over the place!

Richards chassis sell galvanised chassis with a fitting service, Richards Chassis Land Rover chassis manufacturer, LandRover Are you not bothererd about having a go yourself?

good luck with it mate, seems like you're on to it.

I would'nt have thought so, it's a 200tdi isn't it? if anything the engine would run on the oil in your intake, if there was enough of it.

+1 mine too is from winch solutions, I paid £181 for it, I have abused it to hell and back, my rope is getting a little tired now though, but to be fair I don't really look after it. I have had the winch for just over a year now and have given it loads of abuse, would you want to really abuse a...

TIMING! I had mine out by a toothe after replacing the belt, I ended up removing the pullys and giving everything a good clean and re-assembling everything from fresh, make sure that you have the crank timing spot on and lock the flywheel (I made my own tool for this, but you can buy them), then...

I have a rear crossmember which was fitted to my old chassis (currently re-building on a new galv chassis) it looks like after market or home made, it's made out of 4mm steel plate and is very strong it has 2 recovery eyes welded to it, there is no rot on it just a very small amount of surface...

I have used a second hand new td5 90 chassis for my 200tdi rebuild, I'm very pleased with it, it's very strong and has loads of internal strengthening plates. I have cut off the td5 engine mounts and welded on my 200tdi ones, there is some sort of bracketry on the rear of the chassis which I...

Well I've finally made a start on the strip down of my landy for the swap, it has taken me 23hrs to stip it down working on my own and I've even burnt up the old chassis to get rid of it! My son is in the garage painting my new chassis with black enamel paint, so I should be ready to rebuild it...

I have managed to buy a secondhand unused new td5 galvanised chassis for £600!, I just need to cut the engine mounts off and weld a new set of 200tdi ones onto it and then I'm ready to start the swap over, I'm going to hav some repair work to to on my bulkhead when I get it removed, I am going...

what ratio was your old box compared to the disco one? what size tyres are you running? Just trying to get an idea on what mine would be like with a disco transfer box, it's something that I was going to do.

I've snapped my timing belt again on my (disco) 200tdi engine, It's bent 5 pushrods, but I can't see any other damage. I've had the sump off and looked up into the bores, everything looks fine. Question is how can you tell when timing the motor up if the cam is 180 degrees out to the crank? I.E...

Yes thats right mate, they are ridiculesly tight, I made a tool to hold the pully and used 3/4 drive socket on a T bar with 4ft of pipe on that to remove mine! you might have a bit of luck with an air impact gun, but when I tried it on mine the impact gun would'nt budge it. Good luck with that...

Chassis is just a shade under £1300, and I'm a Yorkshireman, so I bet I only end up spending just a shade OVER £1300!:D:D:D. And on the plus side it keeps me out of her-in-doors way for a couple of weeks:)

How much did they charge you to do the swap? I am replacing all of the bushes with floflex and new copper brake lines, anything else that needs doing will have to be factored into the rebuild. I'm hoping my son will make up a photo liberary of the rebuild so that I can post it up at a later...

Whilst replacing my gearbox and engine mounts on my 90, I noticed a few areas of rot on my chassis (both front legs and both outriggers). I pondered repairing the chassis, but after much thought about it I have decided on a new galv chassis from Richards Chassis, I called over to see them today...

I'd be very supprised if you could still get Tekaloid paint, lead based isnt it?
