    Big Stripdown and Weld thread 300tdi

    Seems to have been welded before. Though it looks like they didn't do any rust preventative !!!!! so often the case with 'professional' jobs. pathetic eh. i had two jobs done by panelbeaters and saw no long term protection done . so disgusting, they are like vermin shooters who leave a few...

    Steep learning curve

    what do you mean by hybrid tyres - all terrains?? muddies on the road are useless. v poor braking and steering. i save mine for proper off road and run it on road tyres on road. so much savings in the long run. good luck with the rust. have you ever used https://www.bilthamber.com/deox-c ?? its...

    To restore or not to restore

    do it properly! so it will last - im not suggesting pro finish show pony - just get every bit of rust out and treat the new stuff with cavity wax etc and just keep it - these old rockets will survive anything and the lack of electronics is a HUGE bonus. i know a toyota dealer who is so dismayed...

    Re-spray

    decisions decisions.... if you have the $ then go the whole hog but really, is it that amazing to go 10/10ths?? not like they are show ponies - 4wds are for going bush - defenders especially. i would just tape it up and do a closed door job myself. show pony defenders look ridiculous. so much...

    Classic LSE Not So Rolling Resto and Discovery 300Tdi Daily

    hows it going? are you happy with the old girl? great styling and sounds like a good move rather than paying for car loan (if i understand you right). a living dog is better than a dead lion! i drive this gold RRC around and it just so smooth and comfy. who cares about fuel price unless u r...

    300tdi faulty lift pump?

    i had a similar problem with a truck once - turns out there was a cotton ball in the fuel tank and whenever it floated near the pick up tube it would block the fuel pretty much - pull over / idle and away she would go again. the boss suspected sabotage - we were hauling cotton bales and the...
