    Best Tow Ropes / Chain

    No idea of rating. all labels disappeared years ago (that if there ever were any, as they are ex mod) I have various lengths from 3 meters up to 10. they are about 3-4 inches wide so they are pretty substantial.

    Id do it in my disco no problems at all. I did Africa in a series 3 so Spain in a disco no problem. As long its in good running order you should have no problems

    The Big Debate - Britpart or S**tpart?

    On my previous series 3 project it came with a box full of replacement parts, including all new brake components made by britpart. I fitted all new brake components which was fun as the brake springs had to have the ends ground down to fit and the drum retainer screws did not fit at all. I must...

    VIC check

    All i know about them is you dont even have to repair the vehicle. All they do is check the chassis number and other numbers etc. Just to make sure its not a ringer etc

    Anyvan and Shiply Transport websites

    I used Shiply three times in the past to collect vehicles very far away from me. I used reputable companies with lots of feedback who collected my car along with others on a large car transporter unit. Never had a problem. All i can say is that the shiply fee used to be about 7 pounds. Its now...

    will it pass mot

    Is not that they are structural but its within a certain distance to a structural mount that still causes failure.

    Landy repair cost - or is it worth it?

    Its just a pain to remove everything to get to them. Fitting the seal isnt that hard just remove the old one and tap the new one in with a large socket the same size as the seal, as this makes it go in straight and true. removing the crank pully is a pain as usually the bolt is a right pain to...

    Landy repair cost - or is it worth it?

    In the list I put, I would replace the clutch flexi hose as its less than 20 pounds and will stop you being stranded somewhere if it breaks. Mine broke over 100 miles from home but i was able to limp home with it but it was no fun :) And just grease the propshaft nipples. In 15 years of driving...

    Landy repair cost - or is it worth it?

    Clutch Flexi Pipe needs replacing (Not a safety issue so not a failure) Front crank shaft oil seal leaking (only a failure if very very sever should be an advisory maximum) Both front prop shaft UJ's worn (not a failure or even an advisory) Rear prop shaft rear UJ worn (not a failure or even...

    Landy repair cost - or is it worth it?

    There is also a lot of things on that list that are not failures. It seems that they have been very strict on everything. Your chassis really doesnt sound that bad

    Oilways

    ATF (Automatic transmission fluid) is a great cheap detergent. Drain some of your oil out and add some of this run it for a short while and drain everything out and then fit new oil and filter.
