    This looks serious! Any thoughts? 🦇

    If your goal is to keep a historic vehicle I wouldn't worry.... tbh there is that much variation and inconsistency in the way rules are applied you will be fine. When a group of us registered Year 81 vehicles for historic some were passed, others were rejected, some had odd dates on the V5 so...

    Major modifications is that.... Major..... I would think replacing a rear cross member with same dimensions but 2mm thicker would not be major tbh. The goal is to make it last not change the job/function. I have a 43 year old vehicle and had the chassis fixed and front section replaced. The...

    Of course they are.... there are a lot of folk buying older vehicles and trying to mod them and make them suitable for modern /other use....which isn't what the intention of heritage was. Heritage = having a classic, loving the classic, keeping the classic. If you had a old Range Rover and bob...

    Current state ? Why do they want our freedom again ? I feel quite free here ? maybe a little underpaid and over taxed.

    Rubbish.... done to death.... fixing a chassis is NOT modifying a chassis. Modifying the chassis to take a EV motor would be a modification which would cause Q plate.

    Do I really need to take the gearbox out to do the clutch release bearing?

    Nahh you dont.... Folk just take the gearbox out for the fun of it once the clutch is done....and they have time to kill. All joking aside... some things suck and this is one of them.

    How many labour hours for a clutch?

    I was pleasantly surprised as recently ball parked 330 quid for a screen wash motor as its a pig to get to, wheel off, wing off... pleasantly surprised to see £56 quid as it was just those hose came off.... Not sure many garages would come in under their estimate by much.... even if it was a...

    How many labour hours for a clutch?

    Agree...... its ok to look at the workshop manual with the "simply remove the two bolts, release then refit in reverse order", but on a 30 year old car...

    What money should I be asking?

    Agree.. you can buy a 3 k defender and spend 30 k on it and you wont have a 33k defender. Its a given you will NEVER make your money back on it, which is fine as you have built it for your needs/likes etc. Stick it on eBay and keep the address well hidden...and you will get what its...

    Learning to fix Land Rovers like a pro - career advice wanted

    There has probably never been a better time to learn from the internet with hi def videos. You can always set yourself up recording as you do things as well. The degree and education will REALLY help if you need a loan/credit facilities/mortgage for when you go into business if you wanted.

    Learning to fix Land Rovers like a pro - career advice wanted

    Your time doing any education such as A levels was not and will not be wasted. You wouldnt be doing the degree without A levels..... the degree and A levels will cover you for the future, maybe 20 years later... ", I need to learn properly, and quite quickly."
