well its £400 with close to a years worth of ticket. I hear it needs to work doing to the battery tray and maybe a new battery. I hear its had a full live and is no oil painting but im no too worried about that, My ser 3 has just gone nato green and I still have some paint and a roller :-)...

Hi, Ive just been offered a N reg disco (I assume ser1) 2.5 tdi (have been told its a 300 ser) Its silly money, but Ive got a 1970 ser3 on its way and I dont know if its going to be a money pit or a cheep run around for 12 months and a possible engine and diff doner for the ser 3 when thats...

Is anyone out there offering these mount or extentions for sale ???? (Possible business opportunity for someone maybe)

Ok so by just packing the engine mounts out 1 or 2 inch I don’t have to go hunting for different turbo mounts or chopping chunks out of the chassis??? I guess I would have to park on a hill to check the oil but a small price to pay…. (I wonder if this would affect the MPG as the...

so how high do you need to pack the engine mounts to raise it enough and do you need to lower the rear mounts as well??? Thanks Andy

Hi, I’m trying to work out what’s the best engine for me LWB. I don’t tow but I have been known to load up quite a bit of camping gear from time to time. Currently I have a prima 2lt engine that is fine but dose drop off speed on hills but let me sit at 50mph on the flat with a bit of a run up...

just changed what could be my profile pic so you can see how it came out. Still got a few bits to do but will have to wait untill next weekend :-(

thats if you want a Nato Green Landy of course :-)

just a Nato Green Ex Military paint with a 14% sheen. You can get 5 lts for about £45 on fle bay

just done mine in Nato Green satin finish. Used a foam roller and about 2 parts paint to 1 part white spirit. Came out ok

Just wondering if there is much benafit in having the larger brakes? Ive been offered a early ser3 thats been standing and want to know if its worth investing in 11" drums or make do with the standard 10" brakes? Thanks in advance Andy

Landy had been standing since August. Fired her up and bled the clutch ready for a MOT next weekend. Keeping everything crossed :-)

Now you’re talking. I have had this convocation on here before. I have a 109 camper that Ide love to swap the prima engine for a nice 200tdi. I was quoted around £1,000.00 to supply and fit something about having to chop the chassis about? The Prima is good once you’re up to speed...

Well I called my insurance and they said when a car has a larger engine fitted they add £1 per extra HP (or something like that) I thought the DVLA would just need to be notified of the change, ide be keeping the gearbox but may slip in a pair of RR diff’s and the larger drums but that...

Evening All, I’ve been offered an early SWB SER III petrol hat shouldn’t need too much work for the MOT J but as this will be my Ummm got to think about this 6th Land Rover and I want to attempt a bit of a rebuild. Problem number one, no garage or off road parking! I understand...

I think I have just brought my 109 a SWB to play with?? No how do I tell the other half :doh:

Hi, OK I think this will open the old thread up again ? I still have the 109 and its still running with the prima engine. All good news but it gets better! My place of work has moved... CLOSER !!!! So the option of spending a few quid on the landy and using it as a daily drive is back on the...

Let me know how you get on. I can pop up if you need a hand after work? Andy 2e0bay

Just done some maths and with following I found the V8 to cost slightly more Petrol £1.23 per liter Diesel £1.27 per liter On a 40 mile run the … TDI getting 25 mpg will use 7 liters V8 getting 20mpg will use 9 liters So the V8 would cost an extra £2.18 That sound about right ??

Ok, Like I said “Has anyone thought” I guess you have and don't like the idea. I do use a small camping heater in the back of the 109 and so far I have resisted the urge to stick my fingers in it but I guess kids will be kids. I did wonder if there was issues with the gas slopping...
