Hi all, this is now in the for sales section. I’d like to keep it but I want a dream daily and can’t justify keeping this and my other one. You can see I’ve addressed all the D1 issues - I’d really like one of you to buy it so it doesn’t end up...

Hi all, I’m a long standing member on here and have tidied up a D1 commercial over the past year or so with decent money spent. I now wish to buy my dream daily as not doing mad miles anymore and can’t justify two landies. If you know d1s you...

Hi Russell, I’m going to list mine as going to sell up to get my dream car. It’s manual and high mileage but has had a lot of attention in the last year! 12 months mot too

Next, I should have spent the time fitting the two alpine windows, but as the rear body upper sides have been sitting here for a while, I thought that I would move on to them instead. If I fit them on the Landy, then they are less likely to get...

I had the roof prepped and painted in the original white before Christmas and hadn’t been able to do anything with it until now. When I stripped the tropical roof skin off, I found some of the spacers that give you the gap between the two roofs...

Sold...please remove mods

Been under a pig today 😂 Yes she’s had all the boot floor etc done but this was some time ago now. I’ve found a little bit of chassis by the fuel cradle bracket that I’ll chop out at some point. First pressure washed, then snow foam and citrus...

The bolts and bushes typically need a lot of force to move them - a lot more than you'd usually need for Alfa Romeo maintenance, anyway. I've got a hydraulic press with a dial on it and it is not unusual to see 10 or 15 tons needed to shift...

You can see the metal liners here easily

Just thought, the original bushes in your bars are probably metalistic - I.e. there will be a metal bushing in your bush hole that needs to come out. I’m sure there’s a cleaner way but I slit this with hacksaw blade then carefully chisel out...

😂 the lengths we go to. I managed to get a stubby on my defender one. My disco one wouldn’t allow it though!! I just slit it and wack round with a chisel - was much easier! Powerflex are good - bought them for my project and will be installing...

More progress (week off!). The inside sill is going to get a fish plate over the joint as it’s right next to the mount. Starting to come together and look new

Just walked her mot 😎

Thank you sir 👍🏻

Offside had been repaired but only finished in primer. The result was it was rusty and the repair around the bottom wasn’t too nice most of it was usable. I cut out what I didn’t like which also gave me access to epoxy the mount area. Lots of...

Here’s what I cut out the nearside rear

That’s good news. Shout up before you think of selling! Especially as I wouldn’t let anyone else buy it other than me 😂 If you get stuck with it also shout. My progress has been a bit slow but getting back into it now!

Went to Burford yesterday morning.

Definitely!

You there for the weekend? How’s the motor? When you selling it to me 😂

More alignment work. What a tricky job that was. I made a z plate for the rear floor and rivnutted the seat nuts in. From there it got tricky! You can see why. You’d think the z plate was bent. It wasn’t - the floor rise was. So I made a...

Nothing at all except drive it. God I love my D2 its brilliant.

Always an awkward repair but more so when you’ve got to ensure it doesn’t knock out your lining up across the rest of the repairs. Test fitting is a must. Takes longer but I don’t want to find I’m out on my boot floor which would then knock on to...

Thanks gents

We go to Wiltshire or West Berkshire on occasion if you fancy coming along. Usually post up in the Green lane section before we go.

Do these big trips same time every year as the friend comes over from Germany just for lanes & overlanding. As for local stuff…. I think August may be the next trip.

Can you let me know if you plan anything else in near future? I’m keen to do a bit in pig. Apart from private land that day I had a go in yours is last time I went. Years ago now. Time flies

Update…. 3good days of lanes. We decided not to do strata as lots of bikes out on the Taffy Dakar. They warned us 1 normal lane had a landrover off the edge & rolled down the bank & been there a few days. We was able to miss the section...

There’s a very good looking coniston green one on eBay at the moment that’s spent a lot of time at famous four. It’s up for 4k and I’d say it’s worth that 👍🏻 Manual 300tdi

I'd start with a cup of coffee. Keep us updated.
