Just posted this on my rebuild thread but for those of you who are bored of that I have foooked my head and need some replacement advice asap. Yours wisdom will be appreciated!

TERRIBLE NEWS: CYLINDER HEAD FOOOKED So I drove my newly refurbed landy into the bush this weekend - about 8 hours from Nairobi (a good weekend to be away for those of you who read the news). She drove like a dream no issues at all then on Sunday - 20 miles form home the temp gauged popped to...

I was part of a witness protection programme - yes. I'm in hiding in Africa. And now I'm easy to trace. You know my name, my car, my location. I may as well walk about with a crosshair on my back.

Well now everyone knows my name you ****.

Nissan and land rover are both easy to get parts for - I have a 300tdi that is fantastic so far. This car has a nissan in it just wondering if its worth keeping it Nissan. I like the 300 though.. Hmm!

I was hoping for more of a discussion on if you had to pick between the nissan engines and the 300tdi which you would pick. Like the hilux thought though.

not a simple conversion and not that cheap if we are talking land cruiser engines...

Hi guys, With my mate who has a 1985 110 that currently has a Nissan td27 in it. We managed to blow it up on the way back to Nairobi through the bush and the cylinder heads are cracked. On closer inspection we need to replace the engine. The choices are the 300tdi (my favourite as I...

Took her out for a little drive today, still some final teething problems, back benches are not equal and need fitting - doors cards, vents, door handels etc. Photos don't do it justice as the drive to my house meant shes covered in dust. Got a nice shine usually! But would appreciate your...

I am very nearly there. But getting it 100% done is taking a bit of time. I put some of the left over checker plate on the front and back of the roof rack - Think it looks good, but need to make somewhere that I can tie rope to the front and back now. Little jobs that still need doing: - Rear...

Really Nice job mate - nearly finished doing mine up and wish I had thought about that centre console - looks great. You going to leave the bonnet all black?

Great call

Snorkel problem, guys I am trying to finish the 'trim' today... The mushroom top head of my snorkel is like an inch too big for the pipe below. Clearly missing a bit. How can I bodge it on? No one here has the part except for a whole new snorkel - any ideas??

Get a roller and paint it Green with a white roof. Easy.

Decided not to put a puma bonnet on. I forgot I take mine out into the bush and spend a lot of time climbing about on it - just got excited about doing things to her (the landy). Last few days have been frustrating - I have got a bloke doing the roof lining and redoing the door cards. Thats...

If you bring your Landy to Nairobi I'll do the whole cars chequer plate and have lots left over - all in for about £50.

I bought two 8ft x 4ft panels of checker plate. had it cut into shape with a grinder and a jigsaw then used etch primer and black paint and it looks great. Not only was it cheap - but I had enough checker plate to add to my new roof rack and to line my rock sliders, and to use as trim down the...

Incredible stuff!

Yeah Im deciding against it I think. £300 that is not really worth it + I like climbing on my bonnet a lot.
