Big thanks to Jai & SpitfireMk1 my Series I is now running and the clutch is freed. Yippee!!!
Cool. What was it that stopped it from running or should that be how did you get it going?

Total lack of compression. Took the plugs out and poured oil down the bores, it then fired up, it had been sat for about 3 years. I'm yet to see if it will re-start without the same trick.Cool. What was it that stopped it from running or should that be how did you get it going?
Get some 9.00's on it, he knows he wants to.spitfiremk1's 88 inch chassis/body is bloody high its higher than my 90 I think he is gonna have to get it lower looks silly with 750 tyres and a huge gap in the arches. Even tho the tubs not fitted properly it gives an idea and its bloody high!
get it legalish and give it a good run out for a day with some fast road sections might come better mabe

A couple of bumps to free the clutch and it was away.
I can't believe how smooth the engine is, it was ticking over at about 350rpm quite happily, no vibration through the body at all. It's not smooth on all cylinders either, new plugs required.
Zero brakes, so they need attention. Brake cylinders most likely.
Get the proper "Green" Land Rover workshop manual. Fleabay is your best bet otherwise it's about £60is there any other manuals i can buy/download apart from haynes to help rebuild my disco 1 200tdi engine,axles and gearbox.

Big thanks to Kev.
Electrics turned out to be a total nightmare, started as an easy fix of the headlights, turned out to be a complete dash strip down, when every bit of electrics died one by one. It lives again though, so all is good.
Play with my Series 1, try and get some brakes on it.Hahahaha what else were you going to do today
No worries mate you're welcome, have good day out tomorrow - take photos.
