Welcome as well :)

You may be on a high Road to nowhere mate as, I'm not define but pretty sure sankey trailers are now illegal to use on the road in the uk. As I went to buy one for a project and was told by my mechanic not to bother as they ain't got a breakaway cable which activates the breaks automatically if...

Ah thanks that means things could be made easier.

Yeah I was thinking I could get a short r380 bell housing from ashcroft and stick that on as if I remember correctly is even shorter than the lt77 defender bell housing. Though £165 for a housing is pretty steep so might have to go rummaging some where to find one. Dose any one know if the...

the large M18 milwaukee fuel battery impacts seem to be the closest to their stated output and according to most mechanics i have talked to second only to snap on so should be good. Also get the friction ring/hog ring version as they produce a bit more torque than the pin securing versions.

Hi guys, well progress has possibly been made as i have gotten at the bargain basement price £175 from a wrecked 2 door discovery a 200tdi and s suffix lt77 gear box, but no transfer box. Got it back and stripped all the ancillaries off the exhaust sides of the engine so it looks a bit bare now...

Items needed: 1) large capacity g clamp 2) a large preferably deep socket with a diameter just large enough that it will sit on the carrier tube but not obstruct the bush coming out. 3) a solid brass or steel length (a bit longer than the length of the carrier tube) of bar just smaller that the...

I was looking for it on the basis I a mechanical engineer and was considering going into business for my self in the next few years and wanted one as a work van as often where i live access to hydro/forestry equipment is all off the beaten track or estate gravel roads. I was wanting the payload...

Thanks ajb403 I will check it out, hadn't known about it before.

Yes i believe he is too.

I think its made in the UK hating land of Argentina but any way. After a bit more research they apparently have the same gearbox ratios as a series 2, dose anyone know if they just had a standard series 2 gearbox or where they extra heavy duty. They also apparently used the same ring and pinion...

right well after some digging around on the inter web the land rover 1ton pay load is 1.2 metric tonnes with one occupant in the cab. which isn't to bad, it's actually better than a VW amarok pickup, though the fuel consumption will more than make up for any advantages it may have in capacity.

Thanks i was thinking though about ordering a new 1ton chassis from Richards as the current one is beyond salvage.

Yes i was looking to run it on a Q plate, as the original registration plates and documents have been lost in the mists of time and space. I think that would be the easiest way of getting it registered.

there is five stuck round various places in the area surrounding fort william mainly series 3. There is also a series 3 109 armoured land rover just sitting by the side of the road has been there since i was 5.

hi guys the opportunity has occurred to buy a totally shot 109, no engine, no gearbox and the most rotten chassis i have ever seen. As a new chassis would be required i am veiwing this as an opportunity to get creative with out destroying a perfectly salvageable vehicle. Would converting this...

It should be ok to only use two new top gaskets, have done this a month ago and the engine has suffered no ill effects. what ever you do done use two bottom gaskets as this could restrict the flow out of the thermostat.

on wedensday I fitted a new water pump.

if I'm not away i will be going.

Alright thanks guys for all the points, yeah the old 2.25 diesel isn't that bad an engine especially when its well setup like mine appears to be.
