Clarke 151 or 160 turbo seem pretty good. Essentially the same but 151 is set up for small bottles, 160 is set up for big :) I went for the 151 as it's slightly cheaper, perfectly happy with it but would probably go for the 160 if buying again. This is my first welder, I have no previous...

Get yourself over to the intro section and introduce yourself, then get back here and post some pics :) Unless you want to restore the IIa back to factory spec (in which case you need a 3mb 2.25, either petrol or diesel) I wouldn't change the engine. The main discussion regarding changing...

What do you want it to do? Series and Disco's are very different.... If you want a classic to restore and increase in value, Series II or IIa If you want a cheap Series to either restore or off road, Series III If you want to drive it long distance/daily, Disco That's not to say you can't...

Fraction of the price on Craddocks if you add them to a big order. They're pennies but postage is £5 unless you spend over £50

Dunno but I nearly cut mine off 'cos they're rusty :eek: Glad I didn't!

It's a Land Rover... Looks like a Series III 109" Station Wagon - gonna need more that that pic for any more info though... The Chassis number will tell you quite alot, and if you can't work out what the engine is post a pic and we'll tell ya :)

I've got a 2.25 diesel still in the truck, it's coming out in favour of a 200tdi when I find one I can afford. How much are you planning on spending?

Looking good! You achieved far more today than I did :)

Any recommendations? I'm also planning on GB springs for my 88 and want to take advantage of any lift/articulation increase - adding extended brake lines too :D

Jammie git! I need to get better at ebay :p

£200 or so for a hard top, sides and door - the canvas and sticks are worth a bit though with summer approaching - I'll do you a straight swap if you like :D

Dead easy, just a few bolts - I wouldn't be so hasty though, try the soft top, you might prefer it :)

They do, but make sure you're sitting down before you read the price! :eek:

Where are you all mounting them? I already have a hole in the centre of the front of the roof so that's where the aerial will go. Though I may put the stereo aerial there and the cb aerial at the back, on the drivers side as I think it will look better... As for the radios themselves I'm torn...

You could always make your own original loom too, it just means buying loads of wire in the correct colour - I'd be surprised if you spent £200 on wire though :)

Depends... Is anything wrong with it? If it's all neat and original you may be ok to just refit it. As it's 40 years old I'd at least change the connections though. Are you restoring it to 100% original? If not you may find it cheaper (and better) to make your own loom. I'm planning a rebuild...

Welcome to series ownership! Stupid questions are accepted in exchange for pics :p

Thinking of this one: Clarke MIG151EN Turbo 'No-Gas' MIG Welder - Machine Mart And converting to use gas - will 30-150 amps cover everything on the Landy (series)? i.e. chassis, door frames, dash board etc? The blue just seems to be a cheaper version of the red? This seems to be the...

Brilliant site, thanks. This page is particularly useful for noobs: MIG Welder Buyers Guide And this one Welding thick metal explains why the cheaper welders claim to be able to handle thick steel... Sadly though it's all really bad news for my bank balance...
