I’ve just read, and enjoyed this thread! Keep up the good work. Personally I’d go for mud terrain tyres and a touch of lift. I reckon it’d be quite a capable machine.......

That’s a great looking truck! Near the town I live in used to be a company called MVS who sold, amongst other stuff ex mod land rovers. There were acres and acres of 109’s and I used to spend hours just looking around them. A few years later, most of them were gone but I did buy my first ex mod...

I think the turbo inlet is 2.5” but if I remember I will measure tomorrow.

Massive long shot but do you still have this? If so, how much? Mate is after one for a new build...

How about running a wire from batt+ to the solenoid and then seeing if it’ll start on the key? I get 10.something volts on my solenoid when the engine is cranking. I tested it when my mate had an identical problem..... Btw he just fitted a switch in the wire from the battery to the solenoid as a...

I have the ‘old’ ones in 235/85/16 on my 90, and I really really wish I’d gone for 255/85/16 instead..... The KM3 is a great looking tyre though, whatever size you go for.... Rich

I love the way that looks and can imagine for touring / overland travel, it’s brilliant. Not so much when green landing as it looks quite vulnerable and adds a fair old weight high up. Having said that, people store spare wheels on roof racks which is probably worse. Each to their own. It’s a...

I had one on my 2A at it was great - started straight up strongly, even when damp. Never faulted and never needed adjustment. I can’t remember what make it was though, unfortunately......sorry. Rich

I used the n/a air filter mounted on its side on a bracket fitted to the top of the timing chest, where the air con pump would have been. Snorkel comes into the front of the drivers wing and only a short bit of pipe will be needed to connect the snorkel to the air filter. Mine is a 300tdi...

Engine ECU aside, it’s all nuts and bolts really. Plenty of info out there and on here if ya struggle! I admit, it isn’t the best of starts but sometimes sh*t happens and you just have to deal with it. Was the landy bought from a dealer or private? If a dealer you really shouldn’t be paying...

It’ll get better, mate......once everything is replaced! Seriously, don’t be disheartened. Problems often crop up but deal with them one at a time and keep up the maintenance ( properly) and you will eventually be rewarded with a faithful, reliable and enjoyable vehicle for many years! It’s...

I’d give my right arm for a series 1..

I have found a picture of my first series 3 ( it was the first road worthy Land Rover I had!). Taken in about 1992..... She ended up being re built on a new chassis and converted to truck cab. Had some great adventures together!!

If he’s got another, let me know!!!:D Rich

I don’t have a series 3 any more and I don’t have many pictures of any of my old Land rovers. I did used to own this beauty back in about 2003 / 2004... Photo was taken at Hartington quarry iirc, when I was a member of Buxton and district Land Rover club. Rich

You’ve got the makings of a great Landy there! Once she’s solid underneath, everything else is relatively easy! They are great vehicles to learn on (and you will learn plenty!), and fun, whether you are working on them or driving them! It helps if it isn’t your daily driver as it allows you to...

I have decided not to sell this as it’s..... A) too good! B) too cool! I’d only want another further down the line and I wouldn’t get owt this good for anywhere near this price! Cheers Rich

I too love that tool chest! It looks like it would weigh a ton!

It’s great to see a RR classic getting some love! Ya don’t see many about these days. Rich

A great thread that I’ve only just finished reading start to finish! The workmanship is fantastic and the results should make you deservedly proud! That engine leaves me lost for words. I think I’d want that in my lounge!! Rich
