Good luck with it, id make sure you include the text about pre 1998 models etc or they will probably just refer you to the DVLA

No entirely, if its pre 98 you write into TFL and hope, I got lucky but others havent. After 98 you have to contact DVLA and ive thats its almost impossible to get them to change it, they want proof from landrover that it is a genuine station wagon. Best advice is to buy a genuine station...

From the LEZ website Land Rovers We have worked with Land Rover to establish which vehicles with the body type of 'Light 4x4 Utility Vehicle' are subject to the LEZ. Vehicles manufactured before 1973 are considered to be 'historic' vehicles and are exempt from the LEZ. The vehicles listed...

I live on the edge of the L.E zone, older station wagons are suppose to be exempt are not all are, also alot of the time the windows will be added aftermarket so the best way to check is to get the reg number and put it into here...

cheers melon, ill have a play at the wkend and see how it feels at higher pressures

Cheers mate, will get one of those disclocks asap and look into the clutch box I really dont want to make it black though, have to have a think about that one

just to update, I now have a nice shiney new Galvanised chasis, shout out to Jerry Lewis of lewis landrover services, did an excellent job and much better qute than anywhere else.

Purely on road at the moment, the garage told me lower pressures helps with vague steering, is that right? because ive been searching and read the opposite

Ive got a 1996 300tdi with 275 70 16s The steering is a little vague and im wondering what pressure I should have in the tyres, currently have 20 psi in the front and 30 rear, the local garage recommended these pressures but im wondering if 20 at the front is too low?

Ive had a decent quote for a marsland chasis, are they not so good?

If its a galvanised chasis does it still need treatment?

Not 100% but probably forking out for a new chasis.

I went up to see pressbrake today and basically he could of patched it up but he said its pretty bad and it does need a new chasis, I think we will go ahead and bite the bullet. Really apreciate you looking at it mate, thanks

surrey but im in such a mess I will travel mate

Its true they said they didnt really want to repair it, can you recomend a good welder, you arent too far from me in David

These are the pics ive been sent by the garage

Ive added pics It surely muct be worth more than 1k? theres a old farm yard defender on ebay that needs a new chasis, same year at £1300 I wish I could do it myself but ive never touched a car in my life

Hi guys Im in a bit of a mess, ive got a 1996 defender 90 300 tdi with 100K on the clock I took for an mot and it needs a new chasis :eek: I havent got that sort of money so it may have to go, the question is what sort of money could I ask for it as a project? It has a brand new leather...

Im not sure I cant get the bonnet open at the moment, seems to be frozen shut Ill have a look when I can

Hi guys My 300tdi has always been a poor starter, It cranks over slowly like the battery is flat however I when it was serviced the guy said the battery was ok. It always just manages to start but today Its down -8 and it wont. any ideas what I could be?
