Hello, north west landy owner

Hi, I found this site looking for off road routes, looks like it could be useful..

I have a hybrid sort of landy, it has a 2.8 diesel engine in it, but its an old 110 and seems to go ok, but I could use some advice etc now and then..

Current beefs are that the vehicle has a leaky fuel tank at half full and the heating seems to not work!!

Nor does the drivers door lock..

And my workshop is a bit drafty, what with it being my back yard, under the sky, and the winter not be my favourite time to do maintenance!!

mmmmm, your workshop sounds like mine, and too expensive to heat LOL..

Hi, found this forum again, 2 years on, still have the same reliable landy that has served me well with surprisingly little need for maintenance.. Usually used for transporting wood for my fire, but I am wanting to get it sorted out for family trips, (dont really want to spend money on a newer vehicle when this one seems reliable).

One thing Id really like to do is sort the gearing out, it has a pretty powerful 2.8 turbo engine in it, and it seems a shame that the 4 speed gearbox doesnt let it get up to a decent top speed, and it feels generally under geared for motorway use.

Id like an overdrive, if this is a good solution, where can I get one fitted?

Or would it be better to get a 5 speed box?

I dont know much about these things, any advice welcome!

Also, it seems to have no difflock, I discovered earlier this year when looking for it in the snow..

One more thing, heating.. Where can I get something that warms the inside properly?
