Hi All, Apologies if this in the wrong place, it's not specific to Landy's but it will be used to rebuild one! After much debate, and mucking around with a wire wheel followed by a paint brush, I have decided to splash out on an air compressor, sand blaster and spray gun - but I have no idea...

Come on then, post yer Landy vids - a bit of Landy based entertainment for those not out driving (or fixing) theirs... Land Rover 50 Year Adventure - YouTube Land Rover Rally (1964) - YouTube Camel Trophy Land Rover Years - YouTube

Land Rover Rally (1964) - YouTube Anyone for musical chairs?

Whaddya rekon? Thursday, 18.09. - Lidl UK Waste of money or worth a punt? Air tools would come in handy but I'm thinking about hooking a spray gun up to it for smaller jobs like wheels and individual panels etc - wouldn't try to spray a whole Landy in one go with it... I have no knowledge or...

Howdy All, I've quite sensibly decided to move from one end of the country to the other, part way through a rebuild... The Landy is in one piece and rolls (or will be before I move :eek:), but the engine and brakes are not connected. Does anybody have a trailer/transporter to move the Landy...

So with the Defender destined for the history books and it's replacement looking like Barbies beach buggy I wonder if this is the end of Land Rover as we know it? Or maybe the end has already been... There's a bit of a debate around the interwebs over what was the last "proper" Landy, so...

Howdy, The time has come to fit new brake lines, I intend to make my own so will need a cutting/flaring kit. I've had a bit of a search and it seems that Sykes Pickavant is the best around, however I have two problems with this: 1: I don't have a vice 2: I'm not loaded! What is the second...

Not that you ever would as I can't see any benefit, but in theory, is it possible to build a new series? It's possible to buy most (all?) parts of a series new, so if you stuck them together could you end up with a 14 plate series? I obviously have no idea how the registration system works...

Howdy, I've done my research and as with most things, there are mixed reviews on this... I've taken my 1973 88 back to the bare chassis and need to paint the chassis before rebuilding it. POR15 is widely recommended and seems to be the most durable product out there but is pricey. I was...

As part of my SIII 88 rebuild I'm intending to upgrade the brakes. My plan was to fit the LWB 11" brakes to the front, keep the 10" on the rear and fit a servo as per post 1980 models. I bought a set of 11" TLS brakes from a forum member a while ago and I've finally gotten round to sorting them...

I don't suppose anybody has heard of/seen this: My Dad and I had it about 10 years ago, I think the reg no. was YWJ 430G. It's a Series IIA 88" petrol, we sold it (stupid decision) almost 10 years ago in North East England (near Sunderland) and I'd love to know what it's doing now :)

Yay another rebuild thread :D I initially started out fixing the handbrake ready for the MOT, but one thing lead to another and I've decided to jump in with both feet and take the old girl back to a bare chassis. I'm getting bored of fixing PO's bodges so have decided to strip it all and do it...

Stupid question I know, but I can't find the answer.... I'm looking to buy an engine crane and I'm not sure whether to go for the 1 ton: 1 TON FOLDING HYDRAULIC ENGINE CRANE/HOIST/LIFT | eBay Or whether to fork out the extra £30 for the 2 ton: 2 Ton Professional Folding Engine Crane /...

Hi all, The oil light on my 2.25 diesel (3mb) won't go out... It's full of oil, to the point it usually is (H on the dipstick, anything less and the light stays on), but the light is still on... the light usually comes on with the ignition and goes off once the engine is started, the only...

Howdy All, Are there any greenlaning trips going on this weekend that a newbie can tag along with? If not does anybody fancy starting one? I've been greenlaning before as a passenger but I finally have my own Landy and I'm dying to get the wheels dirty on my 88" before it's MOT next week :D I...

What were you expecting? :D

Hi All, I own a 1973 Landy and I am thoroughly confused about tax... My tax runs out at the end of this month, but I'm not sure whether I'll need to pay for the new disc... Currently vehicles build before 1st Jan 1973 are tax exempt: https://www.gov.uk/vehicle-exempt-from-car-tax However in...

Howdy, My 88" currently has Single line 10" brakes (no servo), I plan on fitting a 200tdi when I find one so should probably upgrade the stop pedal too :D So I've managed to track down a series servo, pedal and brake tower. I'll be buying new lines and a master cylinder (twin line) and am on...

Howdy All, Is anyone else daft enough to own a Series LR down here? I've seen 2 or 3 about on the road so they at least pass through :D I'm looking for friends lol... :tea: Oh, and I know yer like yer pics round here: Just after I bought her How she looks now - still loads...

Hi All, I've started a thread over in the Series Land Rover section but thought I'd post a link here as it's engine specific: http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f6/2-25-diesel-head-rebuild-help-245365.html In summary, I'm refurbing as much of the engine as I can without removing it from the...
