There is a " Land Rover M57 conversion group " on Facebook, might be of some help to you.

What's the problem with the suspension ?

At a guess probably something from the British Leyland parts bin.

Maybe your getting old and soft 😂 Anyway, I will have a wee Rake Aboot and try to get my insurance lower 😉😁

Who with ? If you don't mind sharing.

Try asking in the engine sub forum, it would help if you identified what vehicle you have. This section of the forum is for series vehicles, yours is probably 25 years too new.

I can vouch for the poster @Brads . The only dodgy thing in this thread is @Toyota Twonk .

When I did it, it was online, just gave them the chassis number and payment. I didn't speak to anyone and it was quick.

I was watching one of the car restoration programs and they got all the Woodwork Hydrodipped in veneer pattern. https://www.wickedcoatings.co.uk/land-rover-discovery-interior/

Mine was the same, a new handbrake cable sorted it.

You would have to explain that to me.

I'm happy with the power of my standard Td5, what I need is the ability to tow a trailer in the winter with the wipers and heater on and at least a 300 mile real life range.

Short answer, Yes 👍😁

Yes, but a series 3 isn't a Defender.

What's a series 3 defender ?

I have the March one, if Keith_L doesn't have it I will post it to you.

All mine needed was the chassis, I supplied YRM galvanised chassis to bulkhead mounts and a new fuel filter housing.

Basic price would be about 6k, depends what else needs to be done.
