    200 tdi engine and gearbox?

    You can do ANYTHING to a Landy! Taking on a Project Provide very well, exactly how far I would try and 'discourage' any-one from messing with thier Land-Rovers.

    Land Rover tax exempt questions

    Check the DVLA Web-site, its in the FAQ section; if you have a pre-73 V5, then its HVS tax exampt; BUT, to be assured the vehicle wearing the number plate that V5 belongs to, you are best off, going for a VOSPA approval through the SVA test scheme, where they evaluate the vehicle against a...

    Sluggish V8

    OK, so it is down on power on gas then. Right, start with the usual suspects. Gas likes a really good spark. Worth a general service anyway, so this lot may be a bit on the steep side, but you'll get your moneys worth from it all. start with an oil and fliter change. then new spark plugs; follow...

    Painting Leaf springs.

    Whose Are they? The good'n's shouldn't need painting; bad n's from reports will have probavbly sagged before they've had a chance to rust!

Cutting in quarter sections, or new sections saves welding costs, makes a better job, but more expensive than plating. Buying complete new chassis (which you know its going to get to needing at some point) is...
