If you use Adrian Flux you get a discount for using this forum.
Have you bought one yet?

The initial quote was twice wot I was paying with Flux as I included carrying stuff for work. I was then advised to ask Academy for agricultural and then commercial (I have a commercial V5) - ended up with a 4x4 specialist. I was never asked about mods (I used to insure with Direct Line but when I had the xtra seats put in they classed that as a mod and refused to insure me). I mentioned the extra seats - they said it was fine.Any mods on it? I've just swapped from a 4k defender to a 2k discovery and the Disco is 150 quid more a year with flux

Just a standard jobber I think it was off ebay with a flywheel locking tool and fuel pump locking pin. I've also got a viscous fan spanner (the undo with opposite thead), four foot breaker bar and a Clarke electric impact gun in case the pulley bolt doesn't want to come undone. There's a really good land rover tool box video on YouTube, I'll see if I can find it....

If you buy a kit it'll come with a new belt, new type crank gear, new tensioners and a timing case gasket
A Plan insurance took our membership of this forum as "club membership" for the same purposes....
Looks a nice bus too

I've got a series 2a that's waiting to be restored, I've just sold my 90 that I've had for 4 years and I've just bought a discovery that initially I bought to strip for parts as I wanted its transfer box in my 90 but it was that nice I've decided to keep it
This is currently the 2a
which hopefully today I can strip so I can get the chassis shot blasted and galvanised along with the bulkhead and radiator panelJust sold this
And this is now my daily driver

I tend to use Craddocks more than Paddocks purely because they seem quicker to get to from home and I work in Lichfield if I need to get there on a work night. Although if I'm in no rush I'll also use eBay
