Forgot I can swear here.... ****ing numpties why buy a landy and then do your best to kill it arrrggghhh

Having been frozen and then boiled she did make rather a good job of killing it... Test will be on the way home (if i get it at the right price) either under it's own steam or on the back of an AA lorry...

ooooh Just waiting on dizzy bint to get back to me on price but may be interested....

Guy I'm buying the 109 got in contact with me and it appears my worst fears were correct. The dizzy bint who originally bought it from him has not just buggered the rad but appears to have completely shagged the engine. Signs of over heating, ptfe tape all over the rad, brown water , thermostat...

Not sure yet as I have to go and collect it! Pic's would be great! I have found a local exmoor trim fitter who will supply and fit but at £40 ph for labour I would like to do it m-self. Cheers.

As it says on the tin... Have looked at the exmoor trim ones on tinternet and it seems that they are simple enough/safe(?). Has anyone here fitted one to a 109 middle row? I have search the site but not learned a lot (apart from if I do / do not need one and bizarrely about some guys crash in...

Well bugger I down dead storm - you were bang on the money!

It was that or let the kids name it....

Finally finally finally found one ! Deposit to go down but here she is - Sandy the Landy Landrover 109 Station Wagon SOLD (1979) on Car And Classic UK I know I've probably paid over the odds ( as every bugger on here says on a regular basis) but she's hassle free for the mo so I can...

Carrying on from http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f7/afternoon-quick-question-132017.html I have now spoken to the gentleman owner and am starting to get sweaty hands... Paint is all original , had small amount of work done on chassis for MOT - no advisories. Bulkhead sound , chassis sound , rear...

I am not saying don't do it but be prepared to walk away. I looked at 25+ before buying mine. Lots of people buy and want to get shot once they realise whats involved!!! Wish I had a pound for every one I've looked at and walked away from but the one for me is out there somewhere...

Yep - snow tax - but the 110's don't seem to be as pricey as I;d thought?

Having searched the threads I can't seem to come to a decision re 1984 LAND ROVER DEFENDER 110 1984 LAND ROVER DEFENDER 110 It's on auto trader at the mo - I know the early ones weren't meat to be great but if the Bulk heab and chassis are good were the engines that bad? So...

Tax free ones now have a premium attached to them - over 25 years it's a reduced rate of RT (£203) which is better than a poke in the eye..

Yep - S3 (or a rocking horse **** 2a) - will keep my eye open - as long as it's over 25 years old I'll be happy.....

Thanks all - good advice all round (esp re welding). Yep as predicted over priced - heavy snow tax As for the ebay links - they are still quite pricey but more importantly it's fleeabay and I have a massive aversion to buying anything that pricey on line. Having spoken to a couple of...

12mth t&T 12 mth parts and labour warenty (sp) - looks good but will want to have a look close up. I wish I could find one for the money people say they are are worth! Hint of snow tax + they just don't seem to be out there at the mo (inless you know different?)

Off to look at a 1979 109 s3 station wagon on Sunday - guy was upfront on the phone and said there was some repairs to to chassis. Apart for looking to see if the guy could weld what else would you consider looking out for. eg are there any no-no arears - ones that shoudn't be repaired. He's...

DOH! Sorry didn't think!:doh:

Finding em is easy - but personal recomendation/good experiences can't be found with a search engine!
