The rear doors are the easy onesI done a full set on my other disco front ones are a pain if
the window frame bolts are seized
The switch box is from raptor, when's the mot get a shifty on
SEAT BELT BUCKLE COVER MISSING! And that's a fail?! Well ferk me with a tree trunk. What possible harm can that do. Mind you, don't see how it can come off unless some beggar smashes it!

At least it didn't fail on something serious. (I nearly always forget to check the numberplate bulbs!!!)
Still jealous!
Correct me if I am wrong but holes in an inner wing, they aren't really structural are they or are they too near the spring mounts?Na, it didn't fail. It passed. Those were just advisories.
Fortunately he missed the two holes on each inner wing
One is right to the body mount on near side.
hope your MOT tester isn't on this forum!
- it looks nice and straight too, which is always a bonus on the 3dr's as they do like to rust - way worse than the 5dr in my experience
That's a really nice looking motor there my friend
Glad to read all the worms have been discumnockerated
Love a 3dr - best of the D1's by a long shot
Ive always admired the 3 door & there is one about a mile from here(same colour as mine) but the lad wouldn't sell it
unless I bought the other 3 landy heaps he had basically a job lot of sh!te for 3k
- Midget gems and Mars bars are a better currency for scrappers - plus there's always cake - must never forget cake

https://milemarker.com/hydraulic-winches/Never seen a Milemarker winch it even sounds like a beast, a pic of that disco for my other thread would be nice
I thought the prices would be outrageous.
Sure are a price, my mate got his years ago and he had a mate who was an agent for Milemarker in the UK and I am not sure he didn't use his vehicle as a demonstrator. Plus I don't think his winch was top of the range either. But we were able to recover absolutely anything and some stuff was well tough, down in ravines etc. like the "auld bit o timber" sounds well scots! how about "Auld dod o wood"! (Billy Connolly)The 8 ton winch is a beast
An auld bit o timber jammed in haha
Yeah apparently commercials are now "sought after" (bullsh1t phrase) lord knows why, they still rust in the same places, more or less. My mate still doesn't know what to do with his. If it was me I'd off the winch, probably for good money, then out the rest of it, or do up the rust get an MOT then off it. Then spend the money on a nicer 3 or 5 door. Always wanted a camper, i.e one with a roof that raises up and bed and cookin/washing gear inside. sh1tter in a box too, I suppose. Don't see them often and what you do see costs a packet. but yours really does tick a moad of boxes (sh1t phrase again). I think D1s are up cos there are getting to be fewer decent ones, they are much easier to work on and more reliable, still as economical as a D2, and although they rust, at least it can be dealt with easily. Somehow body rsut on a Landy is just a bit more reasonable than chassis rust like on the D2 which to me makes it not an LR if you see what I mean. But then having to remove the body on a Landy to mend anything mechanical on it is barmy and so far removed from the idea of an overlanding vehicle that I cannot consider anything beyond a D2 as a proper LR. Just an overweight electrical toy. But then that is my biased opinion!A dod o wood haha luv it
I will get some more pics at the weekend
Seen one on ebay earlier for over 3 grand prices on the D1s are on the up.
