Had a new section of exhaust from manifold, same mid section and left out rear box welded straight through.

Hum, it just sounds like the lump is going to jump out in protest!

Someone has to buy um ;)

I would love but can't afford to run it !

I have a friend who has a overdrive unit, he tells me this would help? He normally does my tech mech work but he has no idea how one of these works. Do you think this may help?

By the way cheers to you all for the suggestions. If anyone feels like tweeking the engine then feel free I am afraid, that is a little beyond me! I know girls with landy's blah blah

It is a military 2.5NA with standard box I only had the engine changed. It has the 16" skinny original wheels on. The engine is good and turbo working well. It accelerates fine but when it get to 50 mph it is flat and very noisey. Not road noise engine noise. I don't need to fly around I...

Ye they are crafty. I had a similar problem with a golf, I had just had it valued for part ex at 4K then a car did 360 in to the side of me. They wanted to right it off but I argued had an independent assor in to look at it. He said 1k worth of damage max no reason not to repair. Insurance said...

Ye I have bloody fog lights like that, they only work when they feel like. At least they came on for the MOT last month.

Bad luck! Bloody insurance companies! Why do we bother?

I have a 1987 90 with original gear box and a 200tdi lump, fitted this year. I would like to upgrade it so I can do at least 55mph without it sounding like it needs another 4 gear changes if you know what I mean. I was told that I could put a diso transfer box in? It that right? How much work...

Ok will do, perhaps I should just go with a canvas hey :eek:

Well I bet it will be more effective than heater when we get the zero or below temps :confused:

Hi, great beast I had one back in the late 90's, she was a V8 but as fuel became more and more expensive she had to go. Now I have a 1987 defender Ex military. Anyway hope you enjoy the site the lads on here will answer all your questions and more. We are awaiting the snow, you must be cruising...

Cheers for that. Seems a pretty cheap effective way to cure it.

No, then you will need wider tyres!

She is sweet, mine is the same age but a little worse for wear after a military career. I hope I can change that next summer, lots of time and money should do it !

Hey john, I am in Ross I have a landy to tow but not trailer big enough, do you have a trailer?

I am sure you will be fine under her! It addictive, landy's are a drug. It's your partner that will be annoyed by the other women in your life !!

LET IT SNOW!!!!!!
