I've given mine two serious cleaning recently to get ready for a good coating, but have succumbed to a driving session tomorrow. The wiring in my landy is ****ed!!!!!! How long does it take for a full rewire of one these little beauts???

Would you say it is time consuming and ****ty enough to pay someone else to do it?

It's expensive to have done for those reasons. The ideal thing is to get it really high off of the ground, so that you can stand under it with a pressure washer and give it a good clean first. Pro places have special ramps to do it. Laying on your back with waxoyl dripping on you isn't fun.
Disposable full coveralls are the best way.

There are firms that sell complete or part looms. Anyway i thought you were a sparky?
 
Yeah, I am. I've had a few bits off today and the whole lot is wrapped up in black tape with connections everywhere. Automotive wiring is slightly different to commercial and industrial buildings. Damn piddly cables for a start!!

Ha! You may have a point!

Paul, shogun is getting problems faster than I can fix them. I've done the wheel bearings twice and still can't eradicate the damn rumble from the nearside front wheen. Sounds so loud you think the wheel is about to come off! Seriously looking into doing them again on Monday and this time pulling everything out of the stub axle just to check its condition. The fact that we should have a MOT on the disco by tuesday afternoon is tempting me to cut my losses. We've done so much work on the motor lately that it's becoming a bit of money pit.
 
Get rid of it and get a 2nd Land Rover, Keep one as a road car and back up vehicle and the other one a full on off roader with all the Kit.
 
Why I've got a bog standard 90 & had a disco and a couple of 110's all have been my daily drivers and all have been used for regular greenlaning trips. As long as you're not doing pay & play or driving badly rutted/waterlogged lanes (ala Muddymonkees) then you really shouldn't have any problems at all.
 
Exactly, but we do pay & plays as well. I expect to break things, not good if I've got to use it the next day. If it comes home on the back of an RAC lorry, doesn't matter.
 
I dunno I have had mine for every day use and competed quite alot in RTV's and not broken much that couldn't be put right that night before the Monday morning with the exception of running the main bearings. The landy still got me to and from work and a couple more comps before I got fed up of keeping the oil topped up and the bloody racket it made. Then real power came! 200Tdi transplant Kinda puts an 2.5na @ 68Bhp (when new) into perspective. Jai
 
Just sent mine in for an MOT; it failed (no surprise there then) but the irony is it failed on a small patch of corrosion on the off side sill, everything else is good to go apparently.

The laugh is I spent some time at the weekend doing a couple of small patches for Ryder who I believe is at the MOT testing station as I type for the re-test; hope it passes!
