    What have you done to your Landie today.

    Took it to Plymouth to finish Christmas shopping, sounded bloody lovely in Drakes circuit car park with the straight through side exit. then coming home tonight got tailgated by a total coont in a BMW so when I got to the 20 zone near my girlfriends house I slowed down to about 5mph and the...

    What have you done to your Landie today.

    Yesterday was lumbered with taking a few mates old mopeds to the bike breakers, burned 1/4 tank of diesel and only got £30 :doh: and when a friend was hitching the trailer he smashed it into the back door and dented it. Then had to admit to the girlfriend that she was right and I was wrong and...

    Need Info ' rpm gauge wiring

    Would have thought 2 for the back light, 2 for power and 2 for signal. As for which is which, no idea I'm afraid.

    Brake servo - hard to fit??

    Easy to remove pedal box, disconnect brake pipes at the master cylinder and I think 6 13mm bolts in footwell.

    Exhaust sound. 200tdi straight thru & side exit.

    Sorry to bring up and old thread, thought I would share my side exit that was finished this week. Wanted to do it for a very long time but couldn't justify it with a 2.5 petrol so tdi power was the cue. http://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=c4-feed-u&v=BdigW_X0Ygw

    2.5 petrol radiator

    2.5 petrol radiator, removed from my 90 when I converted to tdi power. Massive compared to tdi radiator, could be ideal for somebody not running an intercooler on a trial vehicle or running a full width front mount intercooler. Really good condition. Not entirely sure what it's worth just looked...

    What have you done to your Landie today.

    :banplease: My family have been going for the past 10 years or so staying in a friends apartment but they've sold up so we are renting one this year. I doubt I'll get much skiing in this year as the girlfriend is coming so will be distracted by cold white stuff :lol:

    Off to Morzine myself in January. Had to get a new coat as I seem to have shrunk my old one :rolleyes:

    What have you done to your Landie today.

    Hard to say after so little driving with them. It's definitely a bit less of a handful in the corners but certainly not too hard as I've heard with HD springs.

    What have you done to your Landie today.

    Finished the side exit on my 90. Still straight pipe, but how have a bit more than a few inches of down pipe. Also fitted the disco springs on the rear, quite impressed by the amount of lift and feels a bit stiffer. On the way home we stopped to cut a length of bar away that was sticking out the...

    Land Rover for 17 year old

    This year at 17, first year driving and 3 points I insured mine as a van for my gardening business for just under £1500 with Aviva van insurance. 1986 2.5 petrol 90, now 200tdi.

    Bucket seats

    I will try and get some pictures today for you but they're being stored in a garage which is now having a new ceiling put in so may not be able to get to them. I would like £60 for them but open to offers.

    Bucket seats

    I have a set of 2 red cobra Monaco seats. Drivers side is pretty good. Passenger bottom is split and missing some foam.

    2.5 Petrol Misfiring - help!

    Before I converted to 200tdi, in the summer my 2.5 petrol used to chew through condensers like no tomorrow. Especially noticeable at higher air temperatures and engine temperatures. May be worth trying to get a proper condensor from this chap, they last much longer apparently...

    No lights working on dials

    May sound silly but are they switched on? Furthest left switch by your right knee should be for the clock lights, off or the interior light.

    What have you done to your Landie today.

    Yesterday, valve clearances and my cousin finished carpeting the back and I changed from pads. No dramas for a change.

    What have you done to your Landie today.

    Fitted some new windscreen washers, much better than the original single jet type. Whilst the dash was out fitted my volt gauge and wired it in. Then thought it sensible to replace the snapped alternator belt. Gauge shows just under 14v. Booty.

    Project... Where to buy a cheap one to?

    It may be an idea to have a look on the facebook pages, if you have a profile that is. At the moment there are a few cheap ones going on the south west page.

    Project... Where to buy a cheap one to?

    I only paid £350 for my 90, bought as a non runner with a 2.5 petrol, bought a coil and battery, turned the key and she fired up almost instantly even with 1 year old fuel. Had to play with some electricals, brake lights, indicators etc... And put a new passenger footwell in and it passed the...
