Find a friendly local old skool garage and ask them if they can inspect it and wrote you a letter on headed note paper. That’s what I had to do. receipt for the engine the guy I bought it from did me a receipt on Microsoft word which the DVLA accepted - could you *make* a receipt? Mine was a...

Nice looks like a pto driven winch!

yeah I thought the same. But once I had taken the spring on and off it looked quite ‘used’ so couldn’t return or sell it tbh. the master cylinder though was an amazing upgrade and worth every penny!

not really being cast iron. The trouble arises when you have a cast block and an ali head - different expansion rates which is what causes the warpage

Yeah only time I have had an issues was popping the tyre off the bead when aired down. I run Michelin ZXL which is a pretty rough tyre tbh

At the sender only though? I would still be wary that the water wouldn’t be moving anything like when it’s pumped and you could get localised hotspots that may not register on the sender and gauge

Does the fan belt also drive the water pump on the 2.25?

Put your old spring back on. I had the same issue so I phoned luke at LoF and that’s what he suggested to do. The LoF spring can be ‘to’ powerful in some situations apparently

This might help. just fit the closest to the size of tyres you have fitted and your speedo will be about right Land Rover 90/110 speedo drive gears Colour: blue/20 teeth - Part number: FRC3310 - Tyres: 7.50/16 or 235/85/16 Colour: green/21 teeth - Part number: FRC3311 Colour: yellow/22...

i have a 200tdi in a mil 90 with a military lt77 with a 13d lt230 1.4 and it’s good, plenty of acceleration and it will cruise at about 70 and I have no issues towing Search for the 0-60 thread as there are some videos on there of acceleration times with various boxes. edit: I can’t find the...

What are the lighting controls in the vehicle? Is it a big rotating switch in the middle of the dash?

Could the tan paint be Australian army paint? Not that the vehicle was used by the Australian army but I mean a previous owner could have got hold of a tin?

Tbh any of those things could have been done post service life, it’s been out 25 years which is ample time for previous owners to paint it. It could have been used by a company that painted it in their yellow livery. It could have been painted tan just because the owner liked it. The roll bar...

That looks like a clevis pin setup to me. Not sure I would use that on a tow bar setup to be honest. I doubt it will have the same strength as an 8.8 bolt etc.

Just buy an impact wrench, oh and use plus gas not wd40, wd40 is ****e

Adrian flux will probably just write it off. new fuel lines and redo the wiring that’s burnt and a new air hose and it will probably be fine. any mobile mechanic will be able to replace the fuel lines if you can’t. Ditto a mobile automotive electrician

C reg then :cool:

technically you should be on a 1985 appropriate plate (B) reg and you can change that with the DVLA if you have proof of the build date. for example mine was built in 1991 and first registered in 2013, I got a H plate which is appropriate for 1991 rather than a later plate. I would update the...

Pretty certain with a brand new vehicle you should go back to the dealer o_O the 1985 is probably worn bushes in the hockey sticks or worn swivels

Have moved this trailer on now. It’s gone to a guy who has a 1980’s 109 and does the show scene so very appropriate for his vehicle. I have picked up a mk2 wide track instead though :eek: the wife thinks I am mental o_O she didn’t want me to explain the difference between the types of Sankey...
