I also had concern about bulkhead coz, to me (and what do I know), that's the 2nd biggest issue after chassis. Apparently the bad bit you can see in pics is the worst bit. JM: Thanks for your appraisal. What's going on underneath is of much greater importance to me than how it looks on the...

Hi people, Pete has said I can upload his Betsy pics... INTERIOR WHAT'S THIS BIT CALLED? CROSSMEMBER CHASSIS Any thoughts on what can be seen in the above photos? I can see some black bits and some rusty bits, but dunno what is all really means in terms of sturdiness and...

Pete good wiv PM and email, just a bit quiet on here... He sent pics of Betsy's new quarter/half chassis but not much I can tell from em. It's painted black. Everything else covered in rust. Dunno what to make of it. Hopefully find out at the weekend by having a good old tap round wiv spanner -...

I'm very tempted by Betsy as not much else in that price range that I can find. Am going to view at the weekend but it's a looong way from home. Would be interested to know what others think. If there's something pointed out that I haven't considered then could save both Pete and I some hassle...

Thanks JM. I'll leave it disconnected then and stop worrying about something snapping while I'm in the middle of the road. :baby: Yeah RH, sounds like the OP got a pipe like mine meant for 200Tdi. I do have a 200Tdi and I still couldn't get the damn thing on!

Hi people, sorry to resurrect this old thread but I have exactly the same question and just wonder if there are others with a view on this? My high pressure feed pipe sprung a leak. I got a replacement pipe (authentic LR) with the same banjo fitting, but I cannot get it on coz the straight pipe...

Hi all, as the first replier on here I just want to point out that I am not one of the tyre-kickers that Pete has referred to! Never actually heard back about it. Pete: I'm still interested in pics and more info about Betsy. Will PM you my email address. I don't know much about mechanics yet...

Also (sorry): Is she a natural SW or a converted hard-top? If a 200TDi, is it Defender (11L) or Disco? Do you mind sharing the reason why previous buyer did u-turn? Thanks for any extra info.

Hi mate. You got more pics please? What's the front+back layout? And what engine she got? How much life you reckon left in the other half of the chassis? I bought a duffer with a rotten chassis - now a (very) long term rebuild project. Would like my next one to stay on the road for a couple of...

Thanks Landy-ads. Might try and fix my old pipe, just for the practice. I bought a new pipe through Keith Gott for £60, a genuine LR part # NRC 8290. Went to fit it today and couldn't get the bugger to screw onto the steering box. Must be doing it wrong. Shall enlist a couple of mates who are...

I put a sign on my steering wheel pointing out that the steering is disconnected and that the rotten chassis makes the whole thing a deathtrap! No takers so far. Unfortunately it's true so I can't drive it either :(

Thx trax. Keith Gott quoted £60 for a new pipe which should be exactly what I need. Have seen cheaper online but look different (not as bendy and no banjo on the pump end) so not sure if suitable. Not gonna scrap this baby. Days are numbered but then I'm gonna strip her down for the experience...

Repairing sounds like fun. But... Is a compression joint suitable for the high pressure pipe? I read somewhere not to use for brakes. Ok for pas? Banjos from ssl are either solder or got barb fitting. Dunno which you were talking about but assume the barbs are for low pressure flexible hosing...

Cheers Daz. Have sent email to Pirtek in Guildford. Hopefully they can sort out my existing pipe at an agreeable price. Mick, it gives me no pleasure to know that fellow Landy folk are having similar problems. Hope it doesn't turn into a race to the breakers yards... :eek:

Hi guys, The wheels are falling off my Godly chariot already :( I will be more careful when I buy my next one! Anyway... I have hydraulic fluid squirting out of the high pressure pipe roughly where it is connected to the pump. The pipe has a bit of a kink so maybe that has ruptured, or...

Alright lads. Finally got it on there. Thanks for advice about turning engine with spanner. Think I need the right tool for that (a HUGE socket?) coz I can see an adjustable wrench doing damage to that. The old one must have stretched a lot or been longer coz the alternator is nowhere near...

Hi mateys, My first job on my new toy and it's not going well so far. First off the Haynes book is not very helpful. Have downloaded more accurate instructions for elsewhere. I got a new fan/drive belt from Halfords so that's gotta be good quality, right? :rolleyes: It's a HB1025a. I read...

Thanks craigyb. Good start to know it actually is a 200TDi. So, does anyone recognise the layout of the alternator, PAS, etc. Is that an earlier layout (12J or 19J) or is it laid out like an original 200TDi? I need to know which Haynes workshop instructions to follow and dunno which bits I...

Hope so drew. It's definitely a toy that wants to be played with. Just need it running long enough to get out there! Got another hassle to sort out now. I wanna get my hands dirty and learn how to look after this thing, but I stumbled at the first hurdle. Not entirely sure what's under the bonnet!
