    Sorry chaps, standing down ...

    Just to let you all know. I’m standing down as South Yorkshire rep. A few reasons, but mainly time, life, and sickness have all conspired to make me do nothing at all in the way of laning or positive contribution towards Glass this year and I’d feel like a fraud to carry on. I will stay as a...

    how long have you been driving for?

    Started in a morris 1000 all stripped out on local tracks/fields at about 6 years old with the local farmers son, maybe 1965 as well as driving all sorts of farm 'things'. Drove forever since, but only took a driving test in 1989, passed, obviously, then my bike test which I also passed. I...

    Help with Steering Vibration

    Swap front tyres over, one might not be as well balanced as the other. Check the preload on your swivels and the condition of the bearings/bushes. Check the wheel bearings aren't loose. Check al the radius arm bolts are tight, front and rear! Check the bushes aren't loose, you say they're new...

    Blue antifreeze

    Can't directly answer your question, but I use this Very good company to deal with and excellent products. I use their greases and oils, have a trolley jack and a couple of other bits from them and never had a complaint on quality, cost or delivery yet. I'm nothing to do with them, just like...

    Disco 1 leaking

    I used Tiger seal in between the screen sealer strip and roof, plenty of it, all the way across the roof line. I started with a corner, but water still came in, so also did the other corner but it wasn't until I also did the centre, making it fully sealed, that water stopped coming in.

    Classic I am thinking of buing this one...what are your thoughts?

    As @resto_d1 said, but I also noticed that the outer sills look slightly corroded. As they're alloy, I'd have a good luck to see if the corrosion has travelled to the actual steel sills, in which case also check the seat belt mounts, A-frame and B-frame .. remove the front and boot carpets to...

    Skinny tyres on these alloys?

    I'd change wheels to something with an offset, maybe -32, so that the tyres can be kept reasonably wide, but still give you a decent turning circle. In fiture you can choose tyres on tread etc rather than just widths.

    140,000 miles

    Sounds perfect for me, so long as it's about £250 or less right now! Mileage doesn't matter, state of the chassis, axles, bulkhead and drive train count for a lot more ... the state of the body might be a concern, but 'everything' on a Landy is replaceable, at home!!
