Although a galvanised chassis may be desirable unfortunately any time and money you spend to maintain a vehicle does not increase the market value. Why would anybody look to give you 12k for yours when they can buy one with decent chassis for 3.5k?

And it is actually the best !

Hello and welcome, sounds like a great idea to me, considerably better than giving your well earned spondoolies to LR for a modern variety!

o_O , I note your location which explains you not being on this planet!

Just when you think you've heard it all!

You have an oil delivery issue, there's no quick fix it needs investigating. Unfortunately serious damage may already have been done if it is a "developed" habit!

What's up with these hub bolts, they're either not through far enough or not long enough?

You are certainly a dab-hand at the old metal folding and gluing, nicely done.

Pre-warming on a radiator or in hot water thins it right out an allows application for 10 minutes or so.

I've got a strange feeling he has rapidly learned that lesson! :)

Nope I'm quite sure i meant 200 ;)

IMHO the 200tdi is the best engine ever produced by LR.

Hi and welcome but unless we see pictures it hasn't happened!

"Clueless new Range Rover Defender owner-to-be..." Don't worry the fact you call the Defender a Range Rover already confirmed to us you were clueless on them.

Yes.

Yes looks like it has been getting through to the water jacket in two places?

That was in the original post.

No official body is going to take your claim seriously with that attitude!

I direct you to this; a loss is a loss!
