I went and flogged my old landy. I'm sticking to comfy, warm, dry, and quiet modern cars that dont need constant reapirs for a while, I'm getting old. Some geyser bought the old girl to build a siamese between my old shell and 300tdi motor with a rangie classic chassis. No doubt he'll be posting...

Made him when I had nowt to do. His head is a diff and his body a crankshaft, tail is a cam and feet are bolts from leaf springs off a series and paws are pistons/con rods, all engine parts ore from my punto which blew up. An insult to a naff engine, my english bull terrier just wee'd on it when...

My old set not having enough power and tired of having to bodge stuff I thought I'd blow the crimbo bonus on a new weld set. Sets over 200 amp seem to be 700 quid range to get one of any quality. Found this geyser on eblag who does a 250 amp for 325 notes, I went and had a look and was...

After removing my suspension leafs I stripped out the bushes, one side pressed out ok, t'other was a bar steward and nearly broke mi press till I realised some kcirp had welded them in on one side. Anyway I have a full set of bushes, should I try and get the ones out of the front chassis, are...

I have a multiweld 180, a veritable mig welder, doesnt quite have enough balls to do thick stuff though. Having a little electrical knowledge and being a total tight git and not wanting to shell out hundreds on a heavy duty mig I thought I'd try a bodge to up the output on the 180, it worked...

I dont usually comment in this section, hope I'm welcome here. I have a series 109, which now has a deffy rear axle, and I'm working on a deffy fron axle. I intend to weld on 40mm standard lift brackets on, but on in a diffo place and modded to fit the series's leafs (the lift is so the track...

Whilst stuffing the 'tank back in my lwb at the weekend I noticed that the rear crossmember looked knacked. Theres substantial rust blisters in the centre (hidden by the tank), and both 45 degree sections that lead to the corners of the vehicle have patches where you could shove a 'driver...

While searching eblag for another 'box for mi series I came accros this, have no idea what this is, the prop shaft looks deffy, the box looks lt77 but has a fairy overdrive on the back, and the bellhousing doesnt look series. Maybe first deffys or series v8 petrol. Sure someone reading this knows.

Ok then, now that I completely knacked some of the bushes for the front and rear springs, after taking them off, it looks like I'm gonna need a set of bushes. Certainly dont want shatpart ones, whats the popular type at the moment, and where to buy, polyurethane off eblag?, my experience with...

I know this is a well discussed topic, anyhow heres my input. My tdi project is nearing completion, however my rear axle needs replacing so I looked at disco, well deffy axles. In a cheap moment I actually got both front and rear axles. The rear isnt hard to swap, the front is another...

Now then I have an offer of a lt77 which I'd like to stuff in my series, thing is its from a V8 3.5 petrol, is the 300tdi and the v8 the same box, or should I turn this one down.

Ok so I know that the two boxes will fit series, 200 or 300 tdi, what I was wondering is are both boxes the same length. Thought I read somewhere that the '77 is similar to the series in dimension.

What am looking for if I want rangie higher ratio diffs on my landy. I know the landy has 10 spline, but what models/year would I be looking at rangie wise as a donor. Edit: just realised that if I do this I'm gonna have to replace the salisbury rear axle for a rover one as higher ratio's for...

Anyone used a td5 intercooler on a 200/300tdi conversion. I heard about some geyser using one so I got one off eblag. Not sure if the rad will fit looks on the big side, like its meant to go accross the front where they are on td5's, but the 'cooler looks like it would go accross the front of...

Bin to look at a series ambulance. Liked it in general but noticed the steering was very stiff, more so than a standard series. The vehicle had a smaller steering wheel and 205 tyres, which I know is gonna make it worse. I was wondering if there are diffo ratio steering boxes fitted to 2a's...

After nearly completeing mi 109 300 tdi, the mrs wants an ambulance to convert to a camper for trips away. After laughing at one on ebay for 13 grand, I wondered whether the body of the series ambulance will fit a standard 109, I've seen a few ads where the seller says they'd remove the body...

Can anyone tell me the diffo's between a series 2 and 3 109, 'cept for the engine, box and front wings, I suspect that my 109 series 3 is actually a series 2 in disguise with series 3 wings and engine/box.

I'm building a power press so I can do gearbox's and crap, and a bottle jack is a cheap source of power however I dont want the usual jack on the bottom with a upward moving ram, total pain when your trying to line summat up, so I set to work getting a jack to work t'other way up, its easy you...

Aldi are selling their cheopo air tool stuff again, I got a shear, impact wrench, ratchet and cutoff tool all for under 50 quid. They also do a 9 cfm comressor for 80 quid, a few auto forums I've been too rate this unit, and seeing as I just reccomended one of these to a mate I was wondering if...

I saw on the t'internet a gizmo that turned a shop hydraulic press into a sheet bending press brake, it had the die and base for the press and an adjustable back stop. I cant find this anymore, I remember some geyser offered it as a kit of bits, does anyone know where to get this, or even own one?
