Off side is fashioned / box sill, don't know nearside - why is that important? Next Weekend would be good. And to answer your question, the whole idea is to keep the Landy, and not let it go for chips. Thanks.

Agreed! Let me know when and where. Thanks very much!

That's very kind, thank you. And I've seen your thread, it looks superb. I'd prefer just to leave it with somebody now, let them get any bits, mounts, metal etc. It may just be one W.E.s work (while remembering that working on LRs is REAL work, of course, and things can go on), I'd just be...

Its most definitely not a full restoration - its got a great chassis, nice body etc etc (great set up too, toys, beautiful drive etc), just needs somebody taking charge of the points I've made and making it nice underneath in one or two other places if found - And leaving a warning sign welded...

Thank you all very much for your replies. I appreciate that without seeing what state things are in its hard to judge the amount of work required. However, that can be determined when I find the man to do the welding, the price accordingly can we worked out later. I appreciate that this might...

Hi Landyzoners.. As we know, some things are best left to those who know what they're doing, and besides learning to weld & fashion metal right now I think might be a tall order for me... not least but including being garage-less. So I leave this message requesting the services of an expert...

Disabled the central locking (and alarm), works better than ever now.

#### Landyzone eh, all the answers are here! Testing the alternator this morning for regulated output as per spec. Problem is power available to spots when over 65mph, not relevant here, but all fine in normal operation ex spots etc. Decided to clean relay connectors to spots (wired into...

Good morning After reading the great LZ threads on wheel bearings/stubs/swivels etc I set about determining the exact problem with my front OSR wheel which last week developed a `ch/thunk` when braking. Before dismantling I ordered some Timkins` and seals too, including one for the stub axle as...

Hmmmm, I noticed the Merc references earlier too... Careful or it`ll just an OBE soon... :eek: LOL?! But no, great restoration work on worthy vehicles deserves proper recognition and especially as you clearly wish to impart ingenious cost-saving method and encouragement to budding LAND ROVER...

The work and mark of an obsessive eccentric genius. My Hat is off to you, and with a bow. How marvellous that there are still people like you around. People outside Landyzone and far, far further afield will never appreciate this, but I do. Spent too long looking at your painstaking...

I`d have thought they`d give you extra credit for thinking it through rather than seek to penalise you. The headlights do bother me, the standard facelift lights are already desirable and easily nicked, and the mods I have made potentially make them even more desirable. The rear lights, which...

This has got to be the most amazing one-man project I`ve ever seen, and by someone with top-notch knowledge, technical, electrical and engineering skills too (including wisely sending out certain jobs such as chassis weld). You`re a credit to not just Land Rover but the Nation and its...

Not sure what I like the best here, the great write-up or your garage! Every Landy owner should have a garage like that, should be written into British Common Law, or English Law at least. The Queen could make it her Sapphire Anniversary gift to the nation... Then again we could all do the...

:D No, the cloth is free moving as its used to wipe off all the lipstick marks, SO embarrassing :p... but you wouldn`t know about that kind of thing I guess. Nice to know that virtually everything in Oz gets a `Defect notice` now then, when did that start, about 13 years ago? Winch is fine...

I sense a bit of jealously in that reply, perfectly understandable.. You`re perhaps still struggling to get over a lot of things it seems, but you know, forgive and forget, at least pretend you do. We don`t all still think of you as criminals, you know. And yes, its an Olde English custom, we...

Concur. But in LandyD1/OldVehicleV8Land, apart from having a properly sealed cooling system that is clean with a good radiator and with some kind of fan, the only other option is pressure and temp reduction using the special lower temp lower expansion coolant...which costs small fortune. But as...

Yep, as Kev says, check the tensioner bearings. In the absence of a replacement, unbolt and remove, clean it up, apply Wynns engine lubricant/WD40 + grease packed in and REVERSE the wheel when bolting it back on. Worked for me. Went from a dreadful howl to silence. Obviously replace it in the...

Well ozzyboy, maybe the checkout girl was a screaming liberal progressive with a man-hate complex. My local Shell-girl ooozes over mine, a disco1v8lpg not a RCC granted, but a greaAAT V8 (one box) which she literally drools over. Last Sunday, and I KID YOU NOT, she asked me if she could take a...

Sorry to begin with `another problem`, but as you don`t know the condition of the sump inside `goo` wise, it really has to come off as I found out earlier this year. Its far better to have a clean sump even if you need to replace it in the process this time, otherwise each oil change on an old...
