Thanks Took the old boy round the block today and it sounds dry, think it's left its lube on the driveway

Did you change the gasket between the selectro and hub? Mine are leaking oil like a baddun and wondered where to get them from.

Plus if you have decent Td5 doors, sell them for loads and get the right ones :)

Somebody just got the bargain of the century Chris W How much for the wings???

Personally i would go for one that hasn't been messed with so much and do it up yourself Land Rover Series 2 (SII) 88", Petrol, Barn Find, Spares/Repair Restore | eBay

You are either incredibly stupid, or trolling.

I'm not the first to complain of this, won't be the last. Unless I give both of mine a minute of heat, no joy. I do have the original 1959 petrol on the way though :)

2 1/4 diesels are a s*** to start at the best of times, make sure you give the glowplugs plenty of heat before you turn it over

Rolf Harris?

It has got an 88" tub and rear lights, so must be ok then :rolleyes:

The basic advice is the bigger the reservoir/ tank , the less the motor has to run. I have a 100L 3Hp from Machine mart that does all of my landy jobs no problem. Have a look at this: Buyers Guide To Air Compressors in association with Machine Mart

the overdrive is £300 on it's own, I would say an OK Series with O/Drive and no MOT best part of £1k these days if Tax exempt.

Roadless. Not quite but looks similar

More than the p38 is worth unfortunately. Yours terminally broken?

I'd have it. Strip the capstan winch and sell the rest :)

Couple those tyres with a 2.25 Diesel and old men on bikes will be overtaking you on hills, plus the manouverability and lock will be shagged.

I met a chap today who works on the Evoque production line today, he was convinced that the new defender (dread to think) is going to be made in india. I have a horrible feeling its going to be a variation on the current theme. What's wrong with a few straight lines?

Why bother researching the hundreds of conversion threads on the exact same subject when you can just throw it all together and hope it works? Keep the series box and fit an overdrive if you need a 5th gear, saves an awful amount of work.

If VOSA pulled that in it would get seized and scrapped unless you had every scrap of evidence, and it would be your case to prove. I would like to see what the insurance companies made of it as well.... "Any modifications on the vehicle?" =)
