These chassis are fabricated in a jig, of some sorts, so this says as much about QC as anything. It would be beyond credible to have a LR chassis distort with hot dip, given the overall fabrication of that unit.

You could also try Shielder Chassis's; they're new to the market and was very impressed with the quality of them at the LRO show this year.

The Richards website says they have a "laser cutter"...:eek: Any chance someone could visit the factory and show them how to switch it on and whilst they're there, knock up a jig or two because clearly they dont have any of those....:rolleyes:

Sorry, but I find all of this a tad strange! Ok, you say Richard's didn't turn up when they said they would, but surely you can't have left it like that? I find it incredible that at this stage you're on a forum looking for a solution to a problem that is not your own. You've paid Richards...

Great combo on a cold night:p

Fair to say, some peeps don't know when to stop. Too much money!!!:confused:

Hippo, thought you were better than this; turns out, you're another pouncy left-wing liberal who can't see a bit of fun being had without involving Inspector Knacker of The Yard. Peeps need to grow up and reflect back when you fire off a banger on a doorstep or fire a rocket up the street...

Without a thorough check of the vehicle, including fluid levels, hard to say what's going on here. That said, I'm with McMafia/GRU involvement, but it's a hunch.

Jeez, could it be the McMafia?;)

Great to hear things are still moving forward - literally! As a hybrid vehicle, it'll be interesting to hear how all of that comes together in the final 'mix'. Keep posting!!

Just had a thought - I wonder if it's heading for the auctions? Undertakers would love it.....

Hope not! On the positive side of this pic is the fact that it was recovered from somewhere;), so it's got out of the driveway, so to speak... Or @Bobsticle is on the money and the fec kin thing has been scrapped:eek: Insane project that must be a serious 'bleed' on cash, but clearly a...

Please!:) No baseball or cricket bats, save that for hitting the leather ball! I came very close to getting charged with assault after "taking out" a chappie who I found sitting in the driver's seat of my Landy. It's not worth it - maybe!

Any update on this amazing project?

Excellent! Having set up a website, the pressure will be on to deliver; but maybe that was part of your cunning plan to get the thing completed! Best wishes.

Just spotted this on FB..... Defender goes for a swim..

To that, add just about any other part or system you can think of in a Landy ;) In my experience, whether it's made by the Itchyfanny Corporation of Guangdong Province, China or by Smug****e Systems of Basildon, quality always tends to take a back seat in this throwaway culture today.

Ah, the hazards of dogging, eh? :D

I'm with Mick on this one:D or, as has been suggested, a reversing beeper.
