I was just about to bite the bullet and ask the question, but remembered that it's not MOTd so I couldn't get it to B&W even if I managed to patch the leaks for the 1 1/2 hour drive. Balls!

That's interesting... I've always heard good things about Ashcrofts..? Good but pricey?

Thank Doc, very tempting but after 3 months of completely rebuilding the engine, the one thing that I am certain of is that the original engine is staying put! P.s. I haven't received a PM..?

Not particularly. I had hoped to have it back on the road in time for camping at Silverstone next month, but it's not the end of the world if that doesn't happen.

So very tempting, but probably too short notice for parts etc?

That's a very kind offer, James. Out of interest, where abouts are you? Edit: learnt to read your location. I thought Louth was a typo for south! *facepalm*

I work next to Hummingbird Bakery and have a friend who makes amazing cakes.... Why do you ask?

When you put it like that, perhaps it's not all doom and gloom? Hmmm... I wonder if I could pick up a decent gearbox at B&W?

Trouble is I'm now lacking confidence in my own abilities. The T seals and timing housing leaks must be my own fault, so I'm worried that I will make matters worse if I continue down the road of trying to do the work myself. But I suppose that has to be an option if I can't afford to pay for...

If only I could get the parts in time and the knackered Landy to the show, I would be the most grateful LZ member this forum has ever seen! Sadly, I think I'm stuck with paying the garage or selling it, but then there's the whole question of whether it would be best to fix it first anyway...

Well, after my fun with a runaway engine and subsequent full engine rebuild, it seems that my Landy woes are not over and I'm left feeling thoroughly depressed and unsure how to proceed :( After reinstalling my rebuilt 300tdi, I noticed a quite major oil leak and had run out of time to address...

Go on, ask Clive if he's still making roll cages, I dare ya! ;) http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f16/roll-cage-247290.html http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/members/pressbrake.html

:welcome: I considered it briefly but decided that a different paint job and fancy logos on the seats didn't justify the cost. But if you've got money burning a hole in your pocket, I say go for it! :D

Didn't Muds say that she ended up with too many tickets?

Come on guys, cut the new guy some slack! This place will turn into Royston Vasey if you can't play nice with the new members! Maybe we should implement a minimum post count before people are allowed to abuse newbies (that's a minimum number of posts for the receiver, not the giver), with the...

Here for part numbers: http://www.landroverweb.com/Pdf-files/Manuals/Defender_Parts_Catalogue.pdf And here for parts: Land Rover Parts and Spares Direct There are plenty of other parts suppliers, but I prefer lrdirect because they allow you to choose the part manufacturer and, more...

:nopics: Where are the photos/videos of your off-road escapades? I'm sure we would all much rather see some hardcore off-roading instead of a thread full of people giving you a hard time for getting stuck or breaking your landy!

:confused::confused:

Ha! Oh I see, just throwing it out there...?

:eek: Am not! :rolleyes:
