Well deserved beverage me thinks to celebrate the stainless pipes … well thats my excuse 😂🍺

Exmoor black anodized billet ali hinges arrived today and they certainly don’t disappoint. I dout I could get a gnats eye lash inbetween the bushes they are that tightly made. Clock surrounds painted and fitted back into the dash, just waiting...

Well the proof is In the eating or in this case drooling 😂 out with the copper and in with the stainless. Fitted some brass olives each end to stop the hose clamps from pulling off. Looking rather good if I do say so myself. Only haste was that...

Got the 90 back from the MoT. It passed but has a couple of advisories. A rear shock is misting slightly, a rear wheel bearing has slight play, the fuel lift pump is showing signs of weeping and the bulkhead outriggers will need welding. It’s got...

Sad news indeed Jai. When somebody passes it always makes you wonder about the nature of mortality. Ryder was a good man and I am pleased to say I knew him. Whatever happens, I think it is true to say this thread keeps the memories alive. It's...

didn’t think that l’d achieved much this weekend but after taking some photos it appears that I’ve done quite well and crossed off a number of jobs of the list. First was to fit the aecond hand genuine rad with an electric cooling fan, then I...

Hi and welcome! Nice looking Landy! I can’t believe for a moment that it misbehaves…

Some sad news Guys, Ryder passed away in his sleep back in March. I didn’t see any posts or Facebook messages. He usually contacted me every few months and the last time I saw him he came on a jolly around Whitwell as a freelander was stuck and...

I also don't go on FB

Get one started!😁

Had a look as busy tommorow. There calendar is good. Waiting to see where the September meet is. Been to caffeine & machine a few times which is a good meeting point & the food is good https://www.teaonthetailgate.co.uk/

Picked up a new 4.6 for parts and possibly block. Front cover is identical and undamaged,oil pump is also intact and looking great. Just need to fit my oil filter angled adapter on and will be golden.

Cleaned the main caps...

Anywhere you have the ally next to steel you get the oxidation. If you reskin the doors, cover the steel frame with Harry Black Maskers, or gaffer tape first.

A-frame cross member looks a bit crusty, think you need to start saving up, maybe.

Here's a link to the new shock mounts ... https://yrmit.co.uk/product/rear-shock-absorber-top-mount-lr-defender-d1-rrc/ and another for the bolts and washers ...

Thanks, yes I would agree. There's something about that County livery that's very evocative of that age. Plus this appears to have been one of the Queen's Land Rovers - first registered to her transport manager at Windsor Castle no less! :p

A good mix. Some series 2’s and 3’s, early 90’s and 110’s, defenders, freelanders and discos. 😁

Seems like a nice selection there

Well done! That's a steal for a factory v8, a thing of nostalgic beauty for me! 😊👍

You're too late! I've done a deal myself for £7,350. And a big thanks to the guys who suggested it would polish up with some T-Cut because it does! The previous owner never, ever washed it so it got badly oxidized, but it scrubs-up nicely with...

Only managed to get one or two. I was too busy chatting!

I did look at going but so far they have been on a Friday evening. The traffic from Stroud to Westbury would make it a difficult journey.

Dropped the 90 at the local Indy for an MoT on Monday…

This afternoon’s fetteling saw the re trimmed dash back in, looks good with the sprayed green vent cover 👌
