Where's Capt Gatso when you need him.... ;)

I can tell you from my own electrical work that you get a shock off AC and unless you have it directly across your heart it's VERY unlikely to kill. I've been on boat's at sea and had a real jolt off a power-switch, no harm done apart from a numb hand for a minute or two (I was wearing a wetsuit...

May they be cursed with ill-fortune for the rest of their days...

Thanks Station, the DIY crank puller look's pretty ninja, haven't got anything like that at home. How does it stay put do you have retaining nuts on the other side keeping it tight?

I'm just going through the pdf file's for defender engine work and I'm seeing this tool constantly mentioned: It's the LRT-12-080 which look's like a spanner with four slots for the crankshaft bolt to be retained when slackening. Is this absoutely a must have for timing belt-changes /...

I think an intruder detection system is the way forward...

Shifty was saying something about using oil and being dipped could mean custom's seizing your wagon for failing to pay fuel duty...???

AC voltage will shock. DC voltage will kill.

Sounds cool man. PM me if Gaz doesn't show up and I'll be happy pay the postage...

Hope it's not yours OP :( I think an intruder detection system, wired in to the owners bedroom would be a wise move for us nowadays...

Years ago I saw a video on here for a place (in the UK) that makes new landrover engines and fits them for you or delivers them for fitting at your leisure. They were around the price that Mad Hat was saying, maybe a shade less...

Just an ongoing mission to finish an extravaganza of restoration (with a few little snooks and things to finish). I've documented it for posterity and hopefully to inspire other's to do the same. I know this is a mock-a-billy kinda place usually on showing it off but hopefully even some of you...

Sub 120k, more than likely. Full service? Maybe not.

Whenever I do my oil change I dump it in as fuel (after filtering it through a fine 'mesh') :D What's BoB bit?

Thin Armour-plating gives it a bit more strength (but slightly worse MPG), stowage bins on either side, gun racks for the driver and passenger (useful for shotgun owners). Collectors value is another thing. But you're right nearly all are the 2.5 NA models OR a few V8 models. If from Germany...

I got lucky with mine for £4500 and it was a 2001 300 TDI model :D Needed some cleaning up in the back though. Like Benny says it can take a long time to find the right one and be prepared to travel potentially 100s of miles. A professional RAC inspection is wise too if your after a keeper :)

No problem just have split sub-forums :)

Buster, totally random question here, but did you have that toy wrestler made to order specially for being your avatar??! It's really radical. LOL

It would be a real boon is the forum has one of these. That way members can upload landrover footage, tips, video guides to engine work etc etc. :) Cheers Buzz

It would be really cool if there was video guides to fitting this stuff :)
