I appreciate that thankyou....I'm not after anything for free...Im not dressing anything up as u so kindly put it...and neither am I skint...I'm more than happy to pay a reasonable cost...the biscuits n tea come as standard...all I asked was for a little help from someone more experienced at this sort of things with the correct tools for the job..so unless u have anything pro active to say then don't assume
Perhaps you'd care to give us an idea of what you consider to be a reasonable hourly rate?
 
I have no idea...end of the day I was just looking for someone to give me a helping hand..advice..hourly rates vary massively..I will just have a go myself cheers
 
Can’t be more than a days faffing. Like you say it’s mostly a bolt on affair.
Now we need to trace some lunatics close to you who have a few hours spare and a will to have a giggle or two.

You should. Fitting a snorkel and winch are easy jobs, and the only safety critical thing is to make sure you don't touch any live wires on metal parts while wiring the winch.

And also remember that neither are essential to operating a Land Rover, so you could just leave it all in the shed until the weather warms up, and the light is better for doing it outside.
 
Agreed, and if you take photos and post them (start a new thread) people can follow how its going and chip in with advice. You may even get some tools lent to you! Not by me mind, we are in tier 3 lockdown.
A good time to post a question is before you cut anything or drill any holes, better safe than sorry.
 
So that’s settled.
Start a new thread in the vehicles and projects section and we can begin the process of working out exactly what will be required.
Best to have every nut bolt and washer handy before we start and if you get completely stuck we can Wade in from around the country with fits of laughter No! I mean sound advice and tricks for an easy install. You may even get a visit or two if you need any special tools.
It’s only a Land Rover. How hard can it be.
 
Well I managed to fit the bumper...

Its customary to spend 10% of the saving on beer, you can of course work up from 10% depending on the difficulty of the job, but never down as you must have a reward.;)

To be fair it wasn't that bad...I took the grinder to the end cap brackets..it was needed..then I'd already treated the bumper bracket bolts with some good penetrating oil..they came out without too much trouble...the hardest bit was putting the new bumper on single handedly ie the tight fitting and the weight involved but all in all not too taxing

Some days I miss my old discovery, my missus is my go to extra pair of hands on jobs like that. Some bumpers are right heavy awkward bastids. Time to get cutting holes in the wing next then :p

My misses is normally hands on but she's a bit under the weather at min...as for the snorkel fitting...I need a pot rivet kit and suitable core drill bit...neither of which I have

Fortunately I bought my old disco 'ready done' for 510 quid on eBay. I've got an original looking series 2a now though ond there's no way I'm chopping holes in them wings :p

rivet gun and step drills are as cheap as chip and always useful to have around and not just for landy work
