Let's hold thumbs hey. I will let you guys know if you're interested of course but I'm sure you're fed up of newbees and their problems by now hahaha

Hahaha even I know that I am taking it to a friend's garage who has a mechanic who used to have a 90 and apparently is excited to be working on mine. He is doing me Mates rates but there is a specialist not far from me too which I will use for other jobs. I always thought the specialist would be...

Thank you ever so much, Dag, that is very kind of you. I don't have that much knowledge but enough to replace my brakes on my other, so not completely useless. I will give that a go, it sounds like something that shouldn't be too much of an issue.... Famous last word

I really hope not because that sounds like it is going to mean I'll need a new one of those too lol. I have no idea at all, so will have to suck it and see next weekend when it's up on the ramp... Not looking forward to that, because I have no doubt that there will be loads of air been sucked...

I do plan to get stuck in myself but at the moment it's parked somewhere else until I sort out space after selling my other car, then I will start tinkering with it and getting my hands dirty. At the moment I'd like just to get the main bits done so I can use it daily.... May be a while by the...

Google is goo but I find searching this forum a better first point of contact because there is a lot of experienced owners, like yourself, with tons of good advice, so thanks once again.

That does make sense and there will definitely be marks as it rattles and vibrates against the bracket at certain revs and idle... The quote from the previous owner "I haven't done any off roading in her whatsoever"..... Yeah right.

I'm having the shocks and springs done next weekend as I want the 2 inch lift taken off and putting back to standard, so I'll ask the chap to have a look at the track rod and steering issue just hope it is that and nothing more sinister.

No, I wasn't told a thing.... This is steep and expensive learning curve

It is.... I am still regretting it. I bought it because it has a galvanised chassis and thought that would be a solid starting point but it seems that the chassis is the only good thing about it. I started it yesterday after been stood for a week and the blue smoke that poured out of it was...

Oh god, that's all I need, I'm beginning to regret buying this thing now. Thanks for advice.

Thank you very much.... The track rod is rattling against it like mad.... I'm assuming that isn't normal? Any ideas of how to resolve this?

Another silly question... Most probably the silliest of all BUT the rattling and vibration is driving me mad.... Many thanks in advance.

I do get what you're saying and I am in two minds. I do like the original, proper Off roading, old school look of the camel trophy Landy but also quite like the look of the newer ones... Maybe not as far as the Kahn models.... Anyway, my pockets aren't that deep for all those fancy upgrades. And...

Ah I see. That looks great, where was that taken? Wherever it was it looks like fun. I'd love to a little trip like that.

Yours look so much better though for some reason... They look wider and deeper or is that just the different tyres it has on that make it look like that?

That seems OK to be fair. I was quoted 540....i don't think I'll be using them to be honest, that seems a bit steep. Still waiting on a few other quotes but does seem, like you say, time consuming and unfortunately, time is money Ahhh cheers Dag, mine is up by first, which causes a few issues...

Anybody in the Hertfordshire, Beds, Cambridgeshire or Essex area who want to sell their 30mm spacers? Apparently I can't fit my boost alloys without putting spacers on.... I'm starting to get that sinking feeling alone with a touch of regret....

I have absolutely no idea what's under there, I have had chance to look as it's not parked at my place at the moment. Even if I did have a chance to look, I wouldn't know what I'd be looking at anyway It's a 300tdi, that's about all I know and the previous guy said that it could be a R380...

Oh god, it sounds expensive lol
