Been way too busy of late, but with assistance from a very competent spanner monkey, today saw Noel's engine fire up. Very satisfying. Still loads to do.

Unless you really really want and can do substantial component swap/repair/replacement, a solid chassis and bulkhead are essential. I speak from bitter experience. Never have words come back to mock me as much as; It's only a chassis swap, it's only changing a bulkhead 🙄😭

Nooo! Why, after all the effort you put in. Can't something else go? Wife/girlfriend/children?

Back to original colour.

Moving forwards. Lesson learned, only loose fit bolts till all body work is back on🙄

Morning all. Just a quick question, could one of you kind people please provide me with the dimensions of the nylon spacers used between the standard roof and tropical roof on series land rovers? Many thanks Shirley.

Also, what do we think about this repair!! A timber plug 🤣

Afternoon landyzoners! Shirley here, again 🙄 Just removed the water pump and have managed to snap a stud😭 Any ideas on how to extract said stud? Or am I better off taping out the hole to take a slightly shorter stud? Thanks in advance for any help 😃

Thought they only did the top hats?

Evening all. Finally dug the bonnet out for cleaning prior to painting, discovered a slight hitch. It seems the support frame is a tad rusty🤣 I've found the top hat supports for sale but not a sniff of a front or rear support. My tame fabricator has offered to see what he can do, but, surely...

For what it's worth, I only need the rad plumbed in and to work long enough to test run the engine. After that, I'll be fitting an alisport one.

Ok, just asking, why?

Looks like a TDI?

Thanks for all the replies. Much appreciated 👍 At least I know what I'm looking at now 🤣

Evening all, Shirley here, and once again I'm begging landyzone members for advice. I'm trying to plumb in the cooling system, but my radiator looks nothing like the pictures in my Haynes manual or LRworkshop. See photos: There doesn't appear to be a header tank , just an overflow pipe. Is...

I think you have 3 options. A full professional respray A bodged home respray Leave well alone, washing and waxing if you must. It's all down to personal choice 👍 At the end of the day, old knackered paint work is still old knackered paint work with or without polish/wax.
