Ok so looks like I won't be able to get this LEZ compliant unless I ditch the diesel and drop in a V8. Had a good chat with DVLA/DfT and looks like the have clocked onto the windows in rear trick. May have to sell this one and start afresh with a LEZ compliant defender. Not happy but may be...

So a New year has started and I am I further along with my project! With our second child bambino due at the end of the month it's looking less likely that I'm going I have the time to do all the work on this myself. So I am going to see if I can find a Defender specialist local to me in...

So zero work done so far but I have just been offered a 1990 ranger over gearbox in working condition for £50, I think it maybe a R38 but don't have serial numbers yet to check. Either way would I think the gearbox will fit but may need to look at getting a shorter bell housing. I have been...

Sound advice, Will do windows first and sort LEZ then crack on with bulkhead and gearbox.

After the snow I am even more keen to get my 90 on the road really wish it was sorted already. So I am currently looking into workshops that can assist in getting the 90 back on the road, I am hoping to do a lot of work myself but also curious on how much I would cost for a professional to...

A few holes at the top of bulk head around vents and where bonnet meets. Will take some photos.

So I now have the little landy home and although it needs a little work I think it's pretty straight for the age. I have a good bulk head to fit and also and new seat box area to fit as well, curent ones are not to bad but if the gear box is out already I may as well future proof it now rather...

Thanks for the replies guys both about transportation and LEZ. Looks like I may well be getting my 90 before crimbo, Ho Ho Ho!

I have been quoted £154 quid all in for transportation, anyone know if this I a fair price? Distance is 49 miles that the 90 needs to be transported.

It doesn't state factory only estates, working on the same principle of changing a transit van into a camper. Once re registered on V5 and if need be VOSA checks ect I would assume it will be LEZ compliant. Fingers crossed.

Was looking into this before I purchased the landy, hoping that this is my loop hole taken from the landrover section if Tfl LEZ site: A small number of Defenders, 90s and 110s may be a 'station wagon', but may not be classified as such by the DVLA. If your vehicle has side windows and fixed...

Hi Kris I am pretty new hear but after searching found this post about transportation. I have just brought my first Landy and was hoping to Originally tow it myself but kerb weights ect have put a stop to that. Need it picked up from near Godalming and dropped off at my gaff in Orpington. If...

So after years of deliberation my classic mini is up for sale and a replacement British classic is waiting in the wings. This time something a little more practical for the family life I now live but also a fun project to build and enjoy. I have brought an 87 reg 90 van for £900 which has...

Thanks for the welcome guys, I'm based in Orpington Kent. Just updated profile, seems my iPhone did not save my profile details first time around.

Hi all Just wanted to introduce myself before I start posting Qs and digging out info from this forum. I am currently a virgin when it comes to owning and working on Landys. I have been for as long as I can remember into to classic minis and have owned and worked on quite a few over the...
