How to make my Landrover 1 Billion x nuts and bolts 1 x tub of that funny orangy paint Copius x oil lots off x mud (Highlands only) Mix oil and mud together to form a nice stiff paste, add nuts and bolts. allow to dry to a nice crust. And to finish dribble on paint.

Bottle jacks tend to have oddles of power, the little rascals! as long as it can lift 2ton + you should be fine but HELL why not aim for six+ ( safer?). the little 2 ton ones tend to have a smaller lifting hight.

OK? so every one can manage to drive there wagon without carrying a complete tool kit? Mine seems to be quiet TPG heavy (Tools Per Gallon) say a billion sockets?

Hey, its not that bad, you just gotta shop around away from the main stream lot. Only 22 here and my 90 is sub £300 and its been chopped and changed a billion times, nothing strange there then.

buy the feista

How wide was that stuff? I'm looking for all the other bits in my 90. Got Wri.. offroad on all the tricky bits. God bless cheap stuff!

Hi Baby boomer, Think your looking for wright off road, Internet address is http://www.wrightoffroad.com this is aftermarket soundproofing/flooring to completly replace your existing carpet/matting. Very good though.. ali

Have you tried any of the insurance companys in the back of any of the landrover mags? Try sureterm for example and see what they come back with, just say you have this landrover set up already. Can't see a problem as long as you have seatbelts and it passes the MOT.

Hi, I went through Sureterm and ended up with Highways. My 90 is a 2.8TD, with various mods. £190 third p f&t and i'm 22. Its a second vehicle so i got a reasonable price. If you have a car as well make sure you tell them that. Big diffrence, well for me any way. Cheers.

For sound proofing try 'wright off road'. I fitted it in january and couldn't beleive the diffrence. It was 250 quid though. But now I can talk to people at 70mph and its completly waterproof and looks good too, BONUS. Web site is www.wrightoffroad.com

10 years old, full MOT, Bulkheads in good nic? chassis is solid? and its from a dealer? sounds like good un in my opinion as long as its a reputible dealer. heard of lots worse. ;)

if you dont want to rivet, try 'Sticks like' some adesive thingy avalible in most good hardware stores, don't get it between your fingures though. or counter sunk nuts and bolts, Looks good and easier to remove.

1991 according to my neighbour who works for the veichle inspectorate. So i'm guessing if Derbysred fits them he has to add seat belts unless of course his veichle docs don't mention the number of seats. But that would be wrong...

Cool Whats your MOT center called i gotta take my cars there! my 90 CSW had seven seats but i've reduced it to four and on the V5 or V10 (?) it dosn't say how many seats it has so Wolla! mayby derbysred's van dosn't say either?

It was introduced to bring modern cars up to a higher safty standard? Agreed I'd too rather have belts in the back, just havn't got round to puttin them in yet. All commercial/public/etc.. veichles need them fitted though.

your landrover is fighting fit then clivees? I'm 22 now but had mine just over a year, So nothing wrong with that. Oh i also have a Mk2 Golf GTi (Yes i have a small penis) as well as a Audi A3 1.8t which is my sensible car and also the most boring. Just had to work had for the ££.

Hi Jaff, Not Aberdeen but i do know of one up Fochabers way and they get around a bit with plenty of off-road. I'll dig out the details of my friend who runs it if you want? I live up elgin way just now, there is a few of us there but no such meet yet. cheers, Ali

For your large object, you sound like you could do with a 110 Hi-capacity pick up with a crew cab, We got one at work and it has odles of space for both people and eq. It seats Six adults at a squash or 4 (two comfortable and two window lickin'). I know network rail/first engineering use these...

Maybe a nice big fencing mallet? should do the trick? The joints are a tenner on ebay, item no. 280004091907, ali

That evil clunkity clunk, Yeah the UJ's or Hardy spilcers (?) are about a fiver from Britpart, you can do it yourself but i found it fiddly. but if your on a shoestring... Good luck! ali
