And after your research how do they compare with Marsland?

I'm going to start mine. Bulkhead needs repairing, chassis has been patched but I'm going to re-chassis and be done with it! What chassis you buying?

Whats your bulkhead like? are you looking at galvanizing that?

Thanks guys. I'm currently with Lancaster for the Defender but A plan for my kit car. I might give them a call in the morning.

What have you guys done for insurance when rebuilding your vehicles. My insurance is due mid Feb but defender coming off road in to my attached garage for full rebuild tomorrow. Any suggestions? Cheers

I fitted one to my 300Tdi and its great, much better than before.

^^^what he said. I had exactly the same problem. Fuel leak-off hoses were perished so changed them and have had no problems since

I'm a plater by trade also and I must admit I could fabricate a chassis no problem. I'm going to be buying a Marsland chassis as the last thing I want to be doing is a load of fabrication on my time off. I don't mind a little bit ie the bulkhead. The only concern I'd have is the heat when...

I've just done my CV and half shafts and bought them from Bearmach. Their next day delivery is great as the job grew arms and legs

I ground heads off and they came out with a set of stillsons. I know your past this point though - I'd try drill and easy outs first before drilling and re-tapping.

Not sure I just get my MOTs for the 90 and kit car there. They know what there talking about though. Maybe worth giving them a ring. Can you do the work yourself??

I use Davey bank test centre for my MOTs and they are rebuilding one for someone. Not sure what they would charge though.

If hes had it 10 years and he's a family member he should know all the issues and share them with you after all he's family. Worth a punt in my eyes

I've just done mine. Factor in time and money for seized bolts corroded brake hose bracket, new ball joints (mine were seized). I had to replace the brake disk mud shields also and 1 stub axle

Anyone got an XD chassis or know of anyone that has one. Just looking for recommendations as I've read a few horror stories on the other suppliers.

Excellent work there. Makes me want to start my rebuild:)

Cheers guys

I have a knocking noise from the front when I pull away. I have quite a bit of backlash in the front diff so I've bought a second hand one with no backlash and I'm going to change it out. Now I thinking as its 20 years old I should just by some half shafts, CV joints, drive flanges and do the...

Very nice

I bought a 300Tdi SW last year. It needs a bit work NS bulkhead requires welding, paint work pretty poor, new back door required and front doors require work. I'm a plater by trade so I can carry out the work, but what sold it for me - it was a genuine county station wagon. If it had of been a...
