    Testing The Water...Puma Bonnet

    I'm testing the water at the moment trying to guage how much a Puma Bonnet with black chequer plate is worth. It's mostly in primer with a little Bonati Grey I believe on one side. The wife prefers the TD5 bonnet and I may have one in the pipeline so this will be surplus to requirements since...

    Been offered some landies

    +2. Karma has a knack of coming back around and biting you in the arse so do the right thing and put them on eBay. She gets the best deal possible and you get the Landy you want if it's in your range. You're a good fella for doing this for her fair play to you. Some would take advantage of a...

    Been offered some landies

    I paid just over £4k for my wife's 87 90 truck cab that was mint but I had one hell of a deal on it. From what I've seen over the last 12 months looking and researching 300Tdi truck cabs can fetch up to around £6k depending on condition but I'm far from an expert.

    Convert Tdi Fuel Filler To A TD5

    At present the fuel filler on the wifes 90 is in the rear truck bed as it's a TD5 bed/boot on a Tdi/chassis. Is there an easy way to convert this to fill through the existing TD5 filler without having to change the tank/bed or cut a hole where the fuel neck on the rear panel should be? I hope...

    Ex RAF LAnd Rovers

    It's not easy finding that happy mileage middle ground where something has enough mileage as to not have any issues but not enough mileage to keep it low. Out of curiosity where can these ex RAF Defenders be found? After buying the wife her 90 i'm almost about to be on the lookout for my 110...

    Biodiesel

    All of this Biodiesel and Veg oil talk etc has got me thinking, would one of these be useful for brewing your own fuel? THE BIOBUDDY 125L BIODIESEL PROCESSOR / MACHINE / KIT | eBay If I were to do it for the wifes 300Tdi i'd need a very simple method as i'm quite the dullard and always...

    Car Alarm Recommendations Or Am I Being Naive?

    Yeah my mechanic chappie is installing a battery cut off switch, fuel cut off switch all that malarky. My insurance is peanuts as it is, any savings would be minimal but well received.

    Car Alarm Recommendations Or Am I Being Naive?

    Any recommendations for a car alarm and immobilizer for a 90? I know thieves will bypass it if they are that determined but the wife wants one anyway and it can't harm I don't think. She'd like a remote starter on it as well for those freezing mornings up here to warm the car ready for her. I...

    Nanocom

    No doubt there would be many LR owners local to you that would want some diagnostic work done. A chap I know bought his and has used it dozens of times to diagnose problems for other people.

    Insurance Question

    I recently swapped from Flux to Annetts & Orchard who saved me over 50% on my policy and also insured a heavily modified 90 with no no claims as it'ds all on my Discovery for only £224 per year full comp. Between what I paid Flux i'm insuring two vehicles full comp for less money. Give Tom...

    Russian Orange 110 Off Youtube

    This must have been shared on here before so apologies if i've done something wrong but I was wondering if anyone had any idea how this rear view motorised camera featured at the 1.30 mark was done? Is this a piece of kit put together by someone (most probably) or are they available...

    90 Alpine Roof

    I haven't fitted the roof yet so don't know about leakage but as with all Landys i've no doubt they will leak lol. I found a guy on eBay that had about 20 odd roofs, dozens of rear doors and loads of other parts going for a grand total of £599. I rang him and offered to buy the county roof he...

    A Frame Plastic Bolt Cover

    Does anyone have one of these rubber A frame bolt covers? My wife has noticed there is one missing and won't shut up about it (it's an OCD thing I guess). If anyone can help i'd be eternally grateful as would my ears. Thanks in advance to anyone kind enough to help.

    90 Alpine Roof

    My local mechanic was giving it the once over earlier and when I mentioned I was looking for one he said he had a mint one with alpine windows for £100 so I'm sorted now. Thanks very much anyway.
