Hi there, I'm not having much success with Norwich Un. at the moment, though I think last time I checked with them it was around £880, fully comp, main driver (I'm 18), 2 named drivers with no claims etc, oh, and an excess of £1000! However it depends how you go about it as some quote engine...

Ok cheers Why not get more stuff up on ebay one of these days? (Apart from time :) ) All these annoying bits that are impossible to get.... and from your point of view, rid of ;)

:D nah though it might be ok as a gasket

Here no, stick it on ebay so I can see, admire and buy!

Stick it on Ebay? I'm after the actual pedal assembly, the bit that bolts onto the footwell with the pedal attatched. Chuck away/keep the cylinder though. Mine had rot on the face that touched the footwell - yours might have the same problem which you can't see with it bolted in but on the...

Hmm we're still knocking round the 200 quid mark unfortunately. Land Rover Deep Bronze Green x 3 Litres Land Rover Mid Grey x 2 Litres Undercoat x 5 Litres Etch Primer (ACID8?) x 3 Litres And postage which is a rip off at around £30/5 depending on co. to IV20 for that order The thing is I'm...

Time you get a Toughbook yella disco ;) No matter what Ormus, you have some link :cool: Thanks, I can ask them for a quote and see what they're like...

Hi everyone, Things are moving on quite a bit now - got a new (secondhand) floor out of a 90 tub which will fit perfectly with a little sliver cut off. Somehow managed to order the right petrol tank for the 88 incher from MM4X4 :D - for all you lot with dodgy brakes you might want to take a...

Great, thanks!

doch, far too hard for me!! Hmm, at that, I'd have to take into account that it's got filler and paint left on as well :D

Ok, Back again, this time looking for an "educated" guess as to how many litres of paint it'd take to paint an 88inch Landrover. Topcoat only, as I'll get the same amount of undercoat and half the amount of primer! Cheers :)

The springs I got (britpart) from Beamends had the bushes fitted. I'd certainly go for replacing all the parts you you think might help and whacking in the copperease to save a bit of effort for next time! Having had the misfortune of needing to get 8 of these U bolts off I can say that they do...

Hi Folks, There's a lot of encouragement still coming in - cheers! However, the project is being held up at the moment as the gearbox is stripped and needing to be rebuilt and I'm waiting for the bulkhead to be welded (the welding has started though :) ) so yet again the deadline is being...

:D :D :D Ahhh, what a relief, you can't get better than landy tales of woe! "The engine was replaced with a 2.25 diesel..." That's one thing that'll never happen with me ^ ;)

"I'm pretty new to Landys but I'm impressed with the steering on my IIa. It is heavy but there's loads of feedback and plenty of grip. Much better than many modern cars." That's good because I'm used to power steering! ..."yours does have a tow-bar, doesn't it?" :D :D Exactly what I'm...

Good one! I'm an evasive creature (please note how I insult your intelligence :D because you won't be able to find me) Still if you're held up by a punter doing 50mph in a shiny 2A you'll know your in my area ;)

Excellent. Don't come here whatever you do - I've got some land rover killer hills starting from outside my door! ;)

Hi Pogweasel, It's a relief to hear that someone else's has done that golden 60 before! Ach I'm not too bothered about home comforts but I do expect 18mpg upwards from this vehicle - it was (I'm told!) giving that reliably before. I'll probably just have to see how it goes, because it's going...

Cheers for all the responses! (Esp. those who are not softies driving around in Discos:D) Good info that I'll take into account. I was talked into rebuilding the 2A as it was sitting out in the front garden as my first vehicle and so here I am wondering what on earth I've got myself into -...

Hi Ormus, What size do you use? (If you can't remember off the top of your head don't bother over it!) I'm planning to fit one set to the IIA this year once it's rebuilt and the other type whenever the first set wear out. I can't remember how long ago the last set of remoulds were put on -...
