I don’t know how it all got started really. Discokid was over for a few days to attend a family wedding He has a new toy, and wanted to take it out to get some photographs, before it gets knocked about I suppose .Anyway, at some point the question was asked, ‘Fancy a trip up the...

Oh Dave !!! now you really did it ! It's well known that Landy owners don't care too much for Jap 4x4s, and Jap owners have the occasional giggle at Landys, but if there is one thing we all agree on ...............................................WE ALL HATE JEEPS !;) Oh ! and before all you Heep...

Hey Malpass, did you get into that diff. yet ? Be interested to see what you found. :eek: :eek: :eek: Cruisermik.

These are 31x10.50x15 Dirt diggers on standard Land Cruiser wheels. This is about as big as you can go on a cruiser without suspension or body mods. Hope this helps. I think i'll have to put these in members galleries as I keep getting a 'file too large' message. Maybe Wingy will move them to...

I can't believe that no-one out there has anything to say about any off-road trips. I think Accywingy, Sod that, I think Wingy, Discokid and I are going out on Sunday, just to get some photos for the forum (and for the crack) We'll put a post on here just to get the ball rolling, but lets hear...

Hy Minimods. There is only one consideration when wondering what to buy first, it's--------- tyres. You don't even need the wheels, unless you want to go posing on the high street. Do yourself a favour though, take a mate with a 4w.d. and go off-road as you are. It doesn't have to be anywhere...

Sorry Wingy, didn't see your reply in the other location. Cruisermik.

O.K. As no-one seems to want to pick this one up, I'll give it a shot. You say that the knock appears when you corner or go up-hill. Is it worse when you are turning right or left ? The reason I ask, is that I suspect this could be temporary oil starvation caused by the oil in the sump...

Dirty Land Rovers !!!....tut..tut..tut, whatever do you mean Dave.

Hy again, I had no sooner finished replying to your diff. question than I came accross a good illustration of what I was trying to explain. I've posted the photograph on members gallerys for your perusal. It's not a Land Rover, It's a Land Cruiser, taken by a friend during the instalation of an...

Hy Malpass, I have never been inside a Land Rover diff in my life, but I have been inside several Land Cruiser diffs. From the size of the bolts in the picture, I would say that the sheered bolts are either Crown wheel retention bolts, of which there are eight, ten or twelve, or the bolts...

Hy again Malpass. Good one this, have you tried to upload a picky to the members gallery section of this forum ? It's quite easy if you give it a try. All you have to do is have the photo, pref.in jpeg format and know the folder, file and number of the photo as produced by the camera or archive...

Hy Norm, I should tell you to get a Land CRUISER, but I don't want to rattle the natives too much. ;^) Let's see now, 1. Rust is the main problem with any car these days, not just Land Rovers, but you are right, the places to watch for on a Landy are the chassis rails, (outriggers can be...

Hy Malpass, No, it's not pressure from the inside, it sounds like you knocked somthing off or punctured the case on some sharp object outside. You do not say EXACTLY where this hole is. Is it a perfectly round hole that appears to have been drilled, or is it irregular ? There should be a...

If it's big it's probably what's known as a cartwheel penny. They were Georgian I believe and don't fill in the retirement form just yet, they arn't worth that much. Try cleaning it with H.P. sauce !!! it usualy works well on copper / brass etc. A.T.B. and if you find out what it is, let us...

Thanks Roy, Wingy hit the nail on the head, that's what I used to use it for, and it's also handy to see which members are active, as Beastie says.

Hy Roy, Dont want to harp on about this one, and I know you wanted the space for other things, but I found the discontinued 'Membership List' quite useful. Might be that I use the forum in a different way to others, but I for one miss the list. I do know of at least one other who thinks the...

I know Wingy, I can smell the burning rubber from here , thought my clutch was on the way out at first!!!

Hy 'Lover my RR' Welcome to the Landy Zone (With the odd Cruiser as well). Know the feeling well, soon to be adding to the collection myself, (80 Series Cruiser) Enjoy the site and don't be shy, the site is all about posting your own views and chipping in where ever you want. Good to have you...

Nice one you guys, how come I missed this thread for so long ? Go for a simple www.landyzone.co.uk - like the man said, simple, self descriptive and classy. As for being tight with money, forget it you Scots, there's this place between Lancashire and the East coast where they all squeek when...
