Tappit rattling usually goes away once the engine has warmed up ie about 4 miles at 30 - 40 mph. If you’re doing this static it’ll take quite a while to get the core of the engine at temperature. As posted if it ain’t broke.

Just buy a normal tent FFS and enjoy.

X1 the nuts are nylon. The important thing is to torque them correctly. It’s very easy to over torque and strip the thread, which at that point in the job is a bummer, back to square one.

Welcome. Good to have another series owner. Yer lucky to be able to work on it in a garage, so good luck with the project. If it’s been laid up for so long there’s bound to be stuff to do. As far as the engine goes if you set up the ignition and get a spark it’ll want to run.

What’s that got to do with a series Land Rover? As posted eyes ears and knowledge.

You’ve done almost everything I’d have tried. Apart from checking you’ve got the HT leads in the right sequence. I’d also replace them as well. I had a similar problem and it turned out to be the coil but you’ve replaced it. Is it backfiring? That’s indicative of a blocked idle jet. As posted...

YRM Solutions check their website.

Welcome. A snatch landy is a bit of a hybrid beastie, HD suspension, V8 engine and then all the armour plating. Why do you want a vehicle like that? Penman Engineering in Dumfries used to make them but they closed down a few years ago.

It’s original, keep it. Nobody sells these now.

You’re repeating everything we already know. Please stop posting you tube stuff on this site.

Just give us a narrative; You Tube costs a lot of data .

YRM Solutions sell the little cleats that you need to rivet to the rear and sides. If you don’t have a manual, watch the You tube video from Exmoor Trim on fitting: its a full tilt but useful sequence.

Pity about that.

Truck cabs are rare these days. Do you have a rear canvas tilt? That’s a good project.

Why not just camp on the ground?

Welcome, nice to see a canvas tilt. Petrol?

YRM Solutions sell them, good quality steel with the fixing bolts. They also supply an angled plate to fix it to the underside of the wings. I tried using bonding material to fix the angled plate, in the end I just riveted then in. I also followed a great tip from someone on this site: mount tap...

I like that. I've just taken off my hard top safari to change to a canvas tilt for the summer and intend to refurb it when it's at a proper height. I might just consider using roller enamel as it's straightforward and I've got no spraying equipment.

Try Turner Engineering.

It looks like a cross between a Disco and a Gaylander.
