    VGT / Hybrid Turbo for RTV

    The turbo has gone in my Td5 90 and I’m thinking of fitting a variable geometry or hybrid turbo from allisport in its place. I can’t see anything in the rules that says this would put me into the modified class for RTV trials, does anyone know for sure?

    SOS Ardennes France

    Lads, I really messed up this time and I’m hoping someone on here can help. I’ve got the 130 stuck on a lane in the Ardennes, near the town of Thilay. If it goes back anymore it will roll, I need someone with a winch to pull me out. Really hoping someone’s here knows someone!

    Defender adventure edition owners

    If any of you landyzoners are lucky enough to own a adventure defender I have a favour to ask. I’ve got a genuine adventure grill for my 130 but LR won’t sell me the nice badge to go with it without me providing an adventure VIN number to them. Anyone kind enough to lend me theirs :rolleyes:

    Classic No headlights :(

    My 1986 RRC has lost both headlights, all other lights work fine including full beam. Checked bulbs and fuses in the dash all OK. Any ideas please?! My 90 has a fuse box under the bonnet but can't see anything for the rangey. Cheers Guy

    No lights in Plymouth

    Hey All, We are stuck in Plymouth in the 90 (supposed to be taking the ferry in half an hour to Spain) we have lost main lights, side lights, brake lights and reverse lights. Any ideas anyone?! My first thought was light switch but could this affect the brake and reverse lights as well...

    Classic Two piece waist seal

    Hey all, Does anyone know if it's possible to obtain (or know any fabricators who can make) the old style 2 piece waist seal? Here's a picture of mine: I can't find a decent picture showing the later waist seals but they are a single piece and don't have that extra bit on top.. I'd like to...

    300tdi classic conversion, what exhaust?

    Mornin' all, I am going to swap my 3.5 efi V8 for a 300tdi, I know you guys won't like the idea but for a over landing vehicle that will be doing many many miles it makes sense for me. My exhaust is on it's last legs, during the conversion I want to replace the whole thing with stainless...

    How to identify overdrive?

    Hi All, I am trying to work out what overdrive is fitted to my 89 3.5 efi classic, I know nothing about it and neither does the bloke I bought it from.. It automatically kicks in at exactly 55mph every time and drops the revs down to under 2k at 60mph which is nice.. I can't find any info...

    130 CSW Conversion

    Mornin, Has anyone done a 130 CSW conversion or seen how its done? I know Foleys do them but want to avoid using them. What I am after is a expedition vehicle where I can sleep in the back while retaining the 2nd row of seats which I don't think would be possible in a 110.. Anyone done any...
